[@molskimauler]

Less than what you're going to dump into it but, you saved another special car from the crusher and that's all that really matters.

[@rohittaurus911]

easily 15k. This car is a classic and a legend. Love to see this car on carsandbids. Daddy Dough would be proud

[@Gilquattro]

It's very ironic that you got pulled over (sort of) in a car with no plate that Rich has the title for. He got in a lot more trouble with the RS7 when test driving it with no plate...

[@zrcrichy7440]

Are you selling this wagon when it’s finished?

[@donsnoble7135]

Ever search the west coast Mostly high mileage zero to minimal rust...

[@kulltorpstyle]

These old amg videos is what makes your channel awesome! Please don't abandon them completely. Everyone is doing supercars but not everyone has your passion for mid 2000s amgs!

I agree with you

[@shaikymandel7593]

100%

[@centrice12]

Don't ever stop making content on these cars! The W211 is arguably the most attractive body style. The cars have a lot of modern amenities without being impossible for people like me to work on. We have three W211s in my family; 2 of my sons drive E350s and I drive an E55. Your E55 videos taught all of us a lot about working on our own vehicles...my 17 year old changed his conductor plate by himself because of your videos changing out the valve body on yours. We love your videos and we always watch your Mercedes videos together.

[@GasStationSushiiii]

Yes yes yes! Love to hear it man

Your work on a Merc is what got me to subscribe. Welcome back home, and thanks. I look forward to next week's performance!

[@rickybobby5950]

Great channel Alex! After watching your first few videos about your W211 and researching the reputation that these cars have for being Camry reliable if maintained properly, I got the fever and had to have one. Within a few weeks, I found a clean, 2-owner Black on Charcoal E55 with 98k miles (in Naperville!) with good carfax/maintenance history and bought it sight unseen 5 states away. I didn’t lay eyes on it until it was delivered a few days later! The dealership had a good ratings and very good pictures on their site and I did tons of my own research and plotted the cars life from the factory and factory dealership records up to it being traded and was pretty confident in what I had gotten. I actually avoided a few bad cars thanks to some of the advice you posted on your car. I followed your build and used FCP Euro and VRP for almost all of my parts and your discount codes have saved me tons! I somewhat mimicked your build and mine is almost it’s twin and I started with some maintenance (fluids, colder plugs, wires, coils) the ic pump upgrade, 76mm pulley and tune were my first upgrades thanks to your (and Tavarish with his SL55) how to and review videos for VRP and I have their secondary cooler and ball joints and thrust/control arms from FCP Euro on a shelf waiting for the spring. I enjoy your videos and I like having someone to blame with my wife when I buy stuff for my car! Killer Chiller, long tube headers and a fixed pulley are next! Please keep the videos coming, I’ll need something to watch while I’m in the doghouse...Thanks Alex and keep up the great work!

[@ronmower3694]

Oh I sure love my E 55 I need a transmission and headers I got a cracked oem exhaust header, I got a 06 black on black E55 great car unfortunately I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fix it so it just sits in my garage poor thing sucks being stuck out in small town Utah have the nicest car in the small town and can’t even drive it I need a good mechanic like you you’re the best I wouldn’t want anyone else to touch my 55 but legit street cars I wish I knew how to get it to you guys to do the work what a dream that would be and what great KZbin footage gosh darn it

[@TheElictrik]

Ohhh hell no ! Don’t move on from this era of AMGs

[@gavinblack7511]

The reverse time lapse on the car wash was pretty sweet btw

[@willitwork4330]

Hey Alex, Love your show. The Bas, Esp, Ets tri factor is normally the brushes in the brake controller start by checking the relay, than jump the relay to confirm motor or relay. Both brushes and relay are turbo cheap fixes.

[@TheBBodyBuilder]

Love your sense of humour. You did an amazing job introducing the Wagon and selling all of its issues. Really looking forward to seeing it come back to life. It appears to be in decent mechanical condition...with some cosmetic love I think it will be worth between 13 and 15. At the end of the day it is a rare AMG Wagon in the right color combo.

[@AnitaHannjob]

I’m a W211 CDI owner now thanks to Alex! I absolutely love it! 40mpg and 700mi to the tank?! Great cars for the money!

[@RMAOMARSGAMING2001]

Please get a W212 E63 amg, now that would be a good series fixing one up!! plus im looking to get one so I would love to see your insight on it!

I and a bunch of my car friends are not Merc guys BUT, an AMG Wagon is the one we all want!! Love these vids! Keep fixing them up and keeping the power alive!!

[@FuZzhardware]

Please keep up the old mercedes videos. I bought a 2003 e500 because of you (in Belgium), did the valve cover gaskets and other maintenance you have showed in your other vids and running like a champ. Now looking at a c55 wagon as a next purchase due to that m113 being such a good engine.

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

13:21 you mentioning a cool car wash video reminds me of the $3000 paint correction video with the sedan you had, that was a cool one and the progression was great to see

[@baschaal]

My 05 E55 wagon is a Canadian daily driver - snow tires every winter. I have the same rear wheel well rust and have been told I need to replace both rear panels to get rid of it, the rust starts inside the lip and works outward. Looking forward to how your guy takes care of it!

[@Dirtyboxer1]

Loved the intro. Joking aside, I really like how these Mercedes wagons look. I just bought my first Mercedes ('09 CL 550) and I'm looking forward to getting it delivered next Saturday.

[@Zebbra42]

I love all of your MB content, especially w211 and s211 content, w211 being my all time favourite car. I know it may be repetitive for others, but I would love to see other w211 projects in the future, eventhough there won't be as many as the ones you had already did. I really apreciate your content and I would like to thank you for this, Alex. There's a guy in Germany, who's a fan of V12 BMWs from '90's and almost all of his projects are v12 BMWs of that era because he loves them. So, if you love the 2000s era of MB, keep doing it. For me, being a MB w211 fan, it's absolutely perfect to see projects like this. Keep up the good work and thank you for your funny and quality content ! 💪

Wow She cleans up well. Looking forward to the transformation of this beauty and oh do a engine service. Car is very clean.

[@mikedemarchelier9090]

Love those wagons, they’re the ultimate sleepers! The sedan is business-like, the big coupé is elegant and refined, but the SL!!! Now that’s a REAL beauty!! Freddy started off great with his SL55, but then he saw a shiny object and seemingly “lost that loving feeling”!! Remember how you felt when an SL65 AMG come into the shop for a maintenance service? Life’s uncertain, eat dessert first! Get that car, Alex! Fix it all up and then get your boys at Mancuso to make it look shiny and new (but not like a Vehicle Virgin though!), get a sitter for the kids, and take the Missus out for dinner somewhere nice, and then slip the valet an extra $20 and say: “leave it out front”!! You don’t have to go douchey (like you’re some kind of Producer or something), but if you have a Rolex it would be a good time to wear it! The Missus should go with something low-cut and sexy (she can obviously pull it off) and as for yourself, you could get away with wearing a burlap sack because with a gorgeous woman like her on your arm, after pulling up in that DREAMY ride, everyone will assume you’re LOADED! 😎💰💰💰

[@BrianMacMusicVideos]

Sounds like you got Hoovie's ex CL65.. That's awesome.. Can't wait to see that engine teardown for the Oil cooler gasket....This AMG is very cool.. but I'm ready to see a teardown of a V12.. Cheers Alex.. Keep it growing..

[@callum5896]

Sounds like you got quite the deal, and good to see it being fixed up. Half the warning lights/faults (ABS ESP) will simply be caused by a bad battery/alternator/BCM - would be great if you can highlight & explain what specific issue you had in the next video! (all the time on forums/FB people don't realise the importance of a charged/good battery with these E55's....)

[@derekcullipher6576]

It actually has hydraulic rear suspension. The power steering pump powers it. There’s 2 lines that run to a height sensing valve in the back. From there 2 lines come off and attach to a dampening sphere on each side that works as shocks. From there they go into the strut.

[@CarsIn4K]
