Mike I could watch you bring home about a hundred of these era cars and get them back healthy again. Great find!

Looks like a winner!! And it's right up your alley since you have lots of experience with that model line. Good find!!

Thanks for finding it!!!!

Nice looking Mercedes and also that was very nice that Randy fond that Mercedes and Also towed it to your house!🤠

at least its a v8. Mercedes content is what we want, Mike.

I must be on the wrong channel. This program has an old Mercedes that actually works!😂

How can people neglect a W140 like that

[@AVC-Works]

I saw a W140 interior so had to see the video. What's wrong with a S420 btw??? That's a great engine! Man it's a bargain.... Would buy it in an heartbeat

[@christopheribarra1838]

This video.. made me laugh, lol you guys genuinely enjoy each other. As friends of course l.😂

Very good mike and yes drop that oil and put some of that M M OIL i had the same problem and i put m m oil and it ran with no noise

[@IxAMxABU]

Seriously love the design of this old school charmer Mercedes. What a steal of a deal! Leaves plenty of room to invest well in this car.

[@fasteddy917]

What do you call a vehicle without paper work.......scrap metal. Great purchase, fellas.

[@whistlingdiesel]

New air filter and a little more pressure on the tires and the straight six is getting 25 mpgs. I see a lot of potential on the new w140 too as a red pig Rally Clone 😁😁

[@MauiWauiPineappleExpress]

It's a V8

[@whistlingdiesel]

The silver s320 from the introduction got the bas mileage complains. The new one is a V8, of course.

[@edwardtc8129]

Smart looking machine Mike and I know you are the man that can fix everything on that car. I really like the wheels that match the white paintwork so well. Please can you do a first wash detailing video, they are so good but I always love your content either way

[@brianandrews7099]

Always fun to find a sweet deal on an old car! Glad you found something exciting and something to make you so happy!

[@jeffreykilpatrick-vw5ue]

Great find Mike! Randy deserve kudos for this one and at $1000 to boot. I know that you're going to polish the shine back into this one and put it into service expertly. Now to find a pickup. Just saying... Jeff

[@brettsairgent577]

Well done it looks great Mike and at that price it was a total bargain of a deal too

[@williamcochell9889]

Hey Mikey, i’ve been following Randy and you for quite a while! You seem like a really standup guy! And I would love to see your channel really grow! I hope you won’t be offended, but I have some suggestions that might help. I think one of the secrets of Randy’s success 365,000 subscribers! It’s the incredible variety he offers! Also, when he’s working on the cars, he time lapses and doesn’t keep the viewers watching, and as he is doing all the work. I know you’re in kind of a catch 22 because you need to get up around that €300,000 mark to get KZbin dollars so that you can afford to buy The more expensive stuff. But there’s still a lot of interesting vehicles, or less! While you love the Mercedes, a little more variety, I think would help you! Check out big Al, he’s getting Low mileage Cadillacs, Mercury’s really interesting stuff but a lot of them are the flood cars in Florida! so that’s gonna be a little tougher for you! Anyway, food for thought I really would like to see you grow!

[@wadkeryos8486]

wiring harness? throttle actuator replacement. I think wires inside throttle actuator are in bad shape check the harness date. change oilers with with update ones. How many mileage on that thing. I love it!

[@leneanderthalien]

older Mercedes form before year 2000 can be interresting because they did not use too advanced engine features, but direct injection Mercedes are EXTREMLY expansive to fix and have lot of engine fails, many MB engines need expansive fixes ~all 100 000km (replacement from camshaft, engine arness (due to oil infiltration), gaskets (specialy from the water pump who can DESTROY your engine if they leak) , hardened engine plastic tubes who broke, fast wearing (scratches) from coated cylinders caused from direct injection etc...A modern Mercedes who is not perfectly maintained is a money trap...

Mike you and Randy are from two different planets however the chemistry work very well. Great car...I like

[@MrCarGuy]

The W220s with the 722.6 and successor M113 are even easier to work on and more reliable. As long as you get one that wasn't in salt and understand a very basic pneumatic suspension system (dont touch ABC). Wish the W140 came with the M113.
