I Bought an 8-Cylinder AWD Luxury Wagon! My 2004 Mercedes-Benz E500 Wagon!

[@mac2k2020]

there is a cup holder in the rear tap the front of the fold down compartment .. spring loaded and well hidden

[@BernonCars]

Thank you!

[@ryanelectra225]

Nothing like a young classic Mercedes. Me and my W210 wagon salute you.

[@BernonCars]

Thank you Dan!

[@christopherroth6723]

I found your channel like a week ago and your content is great! Really like the new Merc. I do have a question, could you do a video going over all your cars you've owned?

[@BernonCars]

Thank you!!! I could! I’ve had a lotta cars 😂😂

[@ibrahimabtula3234]

I have the same E500 S211 4matic airmatic 2004 in black with 18 wheels and its so fun when you want it to be and so comfortable when you are driving calmly. Nothing like old Mercedes.

[@BernonCars]

Oh nice! Seriously nothing like them!

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

Those wheels are absolutely beautiful.

[@BernonCars]

Yessss

[@martinsv9183]

You are describing the 4:th gen 4 matic of the following generation in the 212. The 211 has the 3:rd gen. Its open diffs all around with 60/40 torque split. Uses brakes only to alter it when needed. Works pretty well for a brake based system of the time. Seen it win some winter tests in Europe back then as the overall best system at the time. Mainly because it was simple, light and used little extra fuel with a modest price increase. But still had good performance.

[@BernonCars]

Ohhh interesting, good to know! Thanks for watching!

[@Rudolffreeeeeeeman]

When I was young, I hated this car because it looked like an undertaker's vehicle. However, now that I'm 35, I love wagons. I adore the interior of this s211!

[@BernonCars]

That's funny LOL, I'm glad you like wagons now! 😂

[@rbnh9827]

😂😂

[@kewlbean]

Oh Bernard! Congrats on the lovely wagon.

[@BernonCars]

Thank you Ben!!

[@maxmerc]

HELL YEAH welcome to the Benz fam! Such rare wheels can’t wait to see more on it

[@BernonCars]

Yes sir!!! Im excited for more Benz content 😂

[@ohThaTairra]

hey Bern!! wagons are a favorite body style of mine thanks so much for all the quality content

[@BernonCars]

Hey! Mine too! So practical and I’m so so happy I have one 😂 thank you!

[@speedracerjeff]

Nice, looks clean. I have a E500 sedan lowered on coilovers with AMG wheels, AMG front and rear bumper and C63 quad exhaust tips. I think a E63 front end swap would look amazing on this wagon of yours.

[@BruceLudwick]

MB wagons are awesome. We have an S212 and it's a great car (if maddening because it has 150k and the electronics get frustrating...) Things make sense with it! Have fun!

[@BernonCars]

Thank you!!

[@anothersiguy]

Coming over from your collab with Sofyan, you got a cool channel and I’m digging the laid back vibe, got my sub! This is a awesome score for $6k, hopefully misfire issue isn’t too bad

[@BernonCars]

Ahhh welcome! Thank ya!! It’s been great! Misfire is gone and I’ve been dailying it for a week or so already!

[@sethsteener]

i’ve got a 2005 E320 sedan and while I love my car, I really wanted a wagon. super jealous of you! love these wagons (and pewter is a great color! my car is pewter too)

[@BernonCars]

Nice!! Yeah it was sweeet!

[@VolvoGuy1969]

Excellent choice, beautiful car! What a lot of car and utility for the money! Frankly, anyone that makes those big monthly payments on some generic bland basic new or newer crossover/SUV instead of using that down payment money getting something like this is absolutely out of their mind!

[@BernonCars]

Thank you! Its a fabulous car!

[@omostim2385]

Congrats. I need a wagon in my life. I currently have an 03 S430 and have had a few Benzes from this era. They are not scary to own at all. M112/113 engines mated to the 5 speed are quite bulletproof setups

[@BernonCars]

Thank you! Yeah I’m excited to learn how to work on this thing. Love it!

[@Mlive722]

As a mutiple mercedes owner . I love these wagons . m113 are great engines .

[@BernonCars]

That’s so good to hear!

[@giovannibez9509]

What a cool and underrated car, the rims are so good. Kudos to the editing btw!!

[@BernonCars]

Thank you very much!!

[@michaelimakfinsky4493]

Welcome to the fleet Klaus 😎

[@BernonCars]

A very good addition to the fleet 🤩

[@timgray6933]

I have a 2004 E320 4matic wagon. It has 90,000 km (55k miles) and pretty pristine. Great car for a road trip

[@BernonCars]

Nice! I quite like these 211’s!

[@rookietoprobuildz]

Random but when I saw you walk out on "Redline Reviews" I was like😳! Congrats 🎉

[@BernonCars]

Thank you sir! LOL

[@UrielArtsGarage]

ugh so jealous! could not find any e500 wagons in my area for a reasonable price!

[@BernonCars]

It was such a random find too!!

[@user-ez7oe6gl9b]

Ash trays for your kids or homiess😂, Yayyy

[@BernonCars]

Yeeeeeeee!! 😂😂

[@BeefyMon]

LOLOLOLZ!

[@BeefyMon]

I like the wood too, btw.

[@mrmatthewpaul]

There is cup holders in the third row..

[@nickgalasso6086]

awesome find man!

[@BernonCars]

Thank you!!

[@zachariahcloutier2169]

i got my w204 last year march its been perfect

[@BernonCars]

Nice!

[@ferfzero4333]

Misfire is probably a failing ignition coil- easy and not expensive to fix.

[@BernonCars]

Plugs and a new #5 injector did the job! But i’ll keep that in mind

[@MrGordonGartrelle]

Is this the shorty (longy?) on CL right now?

[@BernonCars]

It surprisingly sold quickly on Cars and Bids! I’ll talk about the sale in the near future! Just didn’t wanna interfere with the auction

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

Holy shit I wanted to get one exactly like this!

[@BernonCars]

No way!! 😂 what a coincidence

[@thisguyfromyoutubesaid1537]

Does the awd system send 70 rear 30 front or 30 front 70 rear or 50 50 and thats it or doesnt it actually torque vector with the computer like 68 rear 32 front with the stability control?

[@BernonCars]

70 rear and 30 front, and it also does 50/50 but I don’t think this does torque vectoring

[@thisguyfromyoutubesaid1537]

@@BernonCars i was wondering that about the v6 rav 4 awd system too because ive seen a slow mo video of it engaging in snow and its impressivly fast i think it might use the computer to figure how much to send front an back rather then a set amount

[@marcelpacheco7878]

Your very good at this.

[@BernonCars]

Thank you!!

[@estebanloza2090]

I have the same, and it’s a rocket 🚀

[@BernonCars]

Rocket for sure!!!

[@kingsleyenechukwu4844]

Do you enjoy it more than your previous XC90?

[@BernonCars]

I still miss the XC90 but this is definitely more pleasurable of a driving experience. Feels much more premium and rides so well

[@user-ez7oe6gl9b]

Do you think 2004 180k is to high to buy these wagons

[@BernonCars]

I don’t think so!

[@ferfzero4333]

Key to any older premium vehicle is maintenance records. Generally speaking, the owners of these cars have the maintenance done at the dealership and keep records. Don’t buy one that’s been neglected. Even if you need to repair something on these, you’ll get a lot of car for the money if you take care of it. If you can’t save a couple hundred a month for things that inevitably come up, you won’t have a good time. (Same as any car, but it sucks driving luxury vehicles with issues)

[@FirstLast-hz1mp]

You know the m113k is an easy swap for these ;)

[@marcelpacheco7878]

Thats the car I'm looking for.

[@davejohnson3860]

"We want Klaus, We want Kkaus"! Lol

[@BernonCars]

Yeah!!!

[@kevinmallory5525]

I ♡ my 211 e500 4matic wagon

[@BernonCars]

Gracias amigo!!!

[@KeVonBouVie]

Shoutout too my hometown Maryland

[@BernonCars]

Yes sir!!!

[@BeefyMon]

Your voice… 😊

[@russellbeaumont7131]

Don't want to dampen your enthusiasm but how's your SBS ?

[@BernonCars]

It’s been replaced!

[@russellbeaumont7131]

​@@BernonCarsGreat stuff. My 211 320cdi wagon was a powerhouse cruiser and its SBS was simply awesome! Enjoy.

[@BernonCars]

@@russellbeaumont7131 neat!! Would love to try out a diesel 211 sometime.

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

This cost over 100k new 💀

[@BernonCars]

Yeah! 60k back in 04!

[@Ceabass4200]

I’m looking at one rn for $7k lol crazy how it’s depreciated. Only has 107k on it

[@kingsleyenechukwu4844]

Good

[@smogdanoff7053]

”There’s ash trays, for your kids”💀

W211 E500 4matic sedan

[@bretkindsvatter3574]

BOOOOOOSTED

[@BernonCars]

That is a consideration for one day LOLLL

[@ferfzero4333]

Not worth the money. If you want a boosted MB get a kompressor out of the gate.
