*SOLD* 2003 Mercedes Benz S500 Review and Test Drive by Bill - *SOLD*

[@nw9342]

Man. This really is a gem at 26,000 miles. I would feel guilty driving this around and putting mileage on this thing.

[@Dadee3]

Nicholas W. Definitely!

[@pelepele992]

Hahaha no matter dude. . . I don't know where he buyed that S500.

[@KINGVONIITHEASSASSIN]

Your tripping

[@pelepele992]

@@KINGVONIITHEASSASSIN Hahaha, dude I am from Serbia. . .You welcome.

[@koljolat]

I wouldn't,cars are meant to be driven. Bet that's joy to drive.

[@redriver15262]

Every video of his has.... -wounded german -canadians -trucks -weed whacker -birds -beeping seat belt reminder -helicopter/planes -Donuts for the guys LOL

[@replay68pete14]

Boots N Pants you forgot ensconced in supple leather, and pam and her dog must be due an appearance.

[@vvvxt]

you forgot guns and ammo

[@luka_abh]

And something about weather

[@TJC450]

Can't forget the mist and leaves.

[@karenmuller1633]

I've gotten hooked on these videos, not only because of the great cars (like this one). But also because Bill is one of the best car presenters I've seen, and I watch ALOT of car videos. With his encyclopedic knowledge of European cars, and great wit (Goddam Birds!, Mosquitos!.......little bastards!, Weedeaters!, Making soup out of ketchup and water!!, Big Canadians!!!).This guy is a rockstar. Gotta meet him someday. My wife and I are watching all of his videos, mainly for the entertainment value. But we're also drooling over the gorgeous vintage cars that are all in showroom condition. Would be worth a trip to Napes to acquire one. Eric M in Georgia

[@stephenmugler725]

Bill is absolutely hilarious!! He provides the best mix of great knowledge and humor for us old guys (and we are not that old) I finally found someone more sarcastic than me KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

[@Sh00fly86]

As soon as you said "something that Audi and BMW can't do" I knew you were going to say "build a v8". I currently own a BMW with a v8, so I know.

[@pelepele992]

Hahahaha 😂👌

[@jhawki777]

LMAOOOOOOOO! I'm so sorry man

[@luka_abh]

Audi can build a good V8 tho, 4.0 liter in RS6/RS7 and 4.2 in RS4/RS5 are beautiful engines

[@Sh00fly86]

@Player good to know, I still plan on getting a Merc with a V8.

[@ebayseller37922]

It’s true, however, BMW can make good V12’s.

[@gazistar5526]

Auto Europa narrator is one of the best car reviewers on you tube He know all about cars I personally love when he reviews Mercedes My favorite Mercedes is S class

[@TheUnsureFox]

You get so peeved about the birds and string trimmers. LOL. I personally prefer your reviews from the driveway. They seem more personal, somehow. Besides, the scenery somehow allows for better focus on the car. I can understand the reason for the booth, but it just seems so, we'll... "produced?" I love them from the driveway. But you guys do what you need to do to make your living. I'll still watch your reviews and "like" them. You're not losing a subscriber here. Just belly-aching here. You belly-ached in the beginning of the video. We're all allowed every now and then. LOL. Side note: You should read the story, "The Birds." It somehow fits here. LOL. Keep 'em coming, good sir! Watch out for the giraffes!

[@805NAVE]

16:54 my thoughts exactly Bill!

[@darrenfarrell-bn2cb]

Those Merc’s are 20 Years ahead of Themselves and the Rest of the Market by far. Now 2024 and still as Fitting as when it was Manufactured.

[@cherkas009]

I love the salesman that going to talk shit about the 1:40 until the next time they sell the 1:40 and tell you how great it is

[@Chavezoid]

He's already done it. He has a video of a 140 and talks about how presidential, dictator and mafia boss you feel in it.

[@2laidragon]

I have a recommendation for your dealer too. If you can install a device for connection of IPhone to speakers for streaming songs, you'll sell this thing in a heartbeat.

[@utubejoe11]

Chairman of the Board baby! Welcome back Bill.

[@sebjebofficial6230]

Great review. One note, a 722.6 mercedes 5spd. Not zf

[@deejayica]

Those are flawless cars that you show in your channel!!! Greetings from Spain!!

[@gtlukas1493]

My uncle has got this nice s 500 from 2001 and when you like to actelerate the sound is unexpected.

[@mercedes-mark]

The Transmission is a 7 Speed and is not made by ZF... it is a built by Mercedes-Benz.. it's called the 7G Tronic. The 2000-2002 W220 cars have the 5G Tronic 5 speed..

[@parveenchd]

True

[@bkw322]

The car in the video has a 5g Tronic. I think it became available on an S500 the next model year.

[@sebjebofficial6230]

Yeah 2003 had 722.6 still, then 2004 some used 722.9.

[@bosniamenrepairmen5810]

Now i love my S Class much more Great video

[@a.l.1482]

Bill I congratulate you because you've heard good advice, nobody makes this kind of videos as personalized as you. Do not worry about the lovely birdsong. Be grateful for being able to hear... - - - Te felicito porque has escuchado buenos Consejos, nadie hace este tipo de videos TAN personalizados como tu. No te preocupes por el encantador CANTO de los pájaros. Se agradecido por poderles OIR...

[@visionist7]

10:45 interesting how the coolant guage is in centigrade and not fahrenheit despite being a US market model

[@tedjensen8841]

Thanks for the great video and for returning to the house.

[@Oneeyedicehockeycoach]

GOLD..PURE GOLD. THANKS BILL. KG.

[@joebutlersnr7017]

Its funny that the w140 he showed a while ago he never said the trunk handle always broke ,or every part cost a 1000 bucks. I absolutely hate the headlights on this car , and the rear lights also, w140 better.

[@bob808]

LMAO Bill, you are the best! :D I bought a 2000 model S430 back in 2012 for half the regular asking price as the car had some issues. I have to agree, the seats were supremely comfortable, and the V8 (while only a 4.3L) was very smooth. Unfortunately, it was a highish mileage car with a few problems, so I got rid of it after 1 year. As you mentioned, the sound insulation was AMAZING!

[@Chavezoid]

How many miles. I'm being offered a 2003 S500 with 95.000 miles, one owner. I don't know...I'm kinda iffy about it.

[@cedricwade926]

How did the Benz work out?

[@cameronlovesevolve]

''dont try to build a raft or take your tooth out in a cave.. just push the sos button 'watchu need'' Man i check into your channel every now and then, am always so pleased by your sense of humor.

[@mickyeverton]

This guy reminds me of George Carlin & that is meant as a compliment!! He deserves his own talk show, Peace From London. 🙏🙏

[@skysam6679]

i love the one were you were talking about the brain surgeon driveing, you make me happy keep up the good work man ,your wife must really love,

[@replay68pete14]

Nice one back to the house! I was gonna miss the helicopter paranoia.

[@user-fl2ug7sr3t]

What's the price for a s500?

[@richboimagic]

6:40 zf 5 speed auto.. Bill you sure it’s not the W5A580 722.6

[@DancehallUnbiasedReviews]

Thinking about getting one of these , S500 is just beautiful 😍!! Only the LS5OO comes close in my book !!

[@tomcavalli943]

This guy is hilarious! Love the videos in the driveway!

[@RobertCHRoy]

I really enjoy your personality!

[@harysuper]

2 for 1 at Walmart*. Target is too fancy for people who drive all the time on temporary spares. Nice vid though. I swear Mercedes has always had the nicest interiors. We bought our 2 Mercedes used, and really who cares. If you keep them up they’ll stay nice for many many years.

[@egold2071]

For the love of God... one of Bill's best lines. Any time I get a promotion, raise, or nice tip - Thank you! I won't have to make soup out of Ketchup & Water anymore! 🤑

[@greggy757]

This man can sell anything!

[@atlcorvette]

Entertaining guy! Keep up the good work!

[@rthurrabayev6971]

Hey brother! You still have this car in stuck?

[@chrisexperience7]

Love your videos. Although it’d be a death sentence buying a S class this old. Best friend is a director at one of the most successful Mercedes Benz dealerships on the west coast. These models are notorious for having balance shaft issues, among a million other issues. Forget the high price of getting the issues fixed, as a Mercedes owner I spend every other weekend at the dealership with one problem or another. I am in a rental most of the time. I own a 2015 e class as well as a 2014 GLK. You’d be a lunatic for getting a Mercedes.

[@Sh00fly86]

Your '14 and '15 have issues?

[@MrCarGuy]

You are near clueless which is a good thing for us 220 guys. Keeps the prices lower. I've had my 2000 for 7 years and don't see myself giving it up.

[@chrisexperience7]

Boom stick86 no my 14 and 15 do not have isssues...yet.

[@chrisexperience7]

The Architect I take immaculate care of all my cars. You can service them accordingly, that will not stop a balance shaft from going out. Do some research on E Class and S class balance shaft issues, you’ll find a plethora of customers experiencing this.

[@chrisexperience7]

The Architect it's pretty obvious you're oblivious to these issues. Your ignorance speaks for itself.

[@What-is-your-purpose]

Looking to buy one of these cars so trying to do my research I’ve heard Mercedes-Benz can be expensive i’m wondering if the older ones wouldn’t be too bad

[@thecrazeecow1682]

Love the color combination!

[@dilawlakouas]

I adore this car it's a sleeping monster ❤️

[@paco5976]

You're really the best!! LOVE your humor!! STAY YOU!! I think the real reason why you feel so special in a MB is because it's a S Class (special class), and it's not a rebadged Toyota (Lexus), Nissan (Infiniti), Honda (Acura), Volkswagen (Audi) or Ford (Lincoln). The only thing that compares, if you need to compare, which you don't, is a BMW, and those are not even worth this sentence. 😉

[@MrCarGuy]

I still like the pre-facelift better. Variety of reasons.

[@Chavezoid]

What are the reasons?

[@RasSosa]

You are good. True East Coast guy living in warm florida!

[@MrCarGuy]

What a nice find!

[@Doin-stuff]

Omg I love this guy!!! I’m pretty sure I’d buy anything that he was selling. He is awesome! 🤣🤣😂😂

[@cckidd53]

im interested in your business. where do you source your cars? owning a dealership seems pretty cool, would appreciate if you shed some light. thanks!

[@JStack7]

How much ?

[@edgrossman9060]

Getting the nav system updated by benz dealer is pricey

[@2laidragon]

Even though the facelift 2003 have better suspension, the pre face-lift had less electrical problems. My 2003 s500 drain batteries and no one knows how to fix it. I know of another person having the same problem. The people I know having the pre face- lift didn't have that problem. Anyone out there experience the same problem?

[@claudiocatarino4909]

The pre-facelift W220s also had that problem...

[@askaribr1]

I love this man ... he is not wasting time. He says the truth directly. I hate TESLA i want V8 all day all the time Much love to honest people 😘😘😘👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@markandblitz5055]

These cars have more gremlins than an AMC dealer. Expensive ones ,,RUN

[@yerdevesi]

Where did you get an S Class without a parking sensor?

[@alahlysc4979]

How much does it cost please

[@skysam6679]

what country are you in

[@shaunpattinson1621]

The lady in the Lumina might have been speeding towards Auto House Naples for the bargains! 🤣

[@mrkongsimr]

Love this car and am thinking of buying one , but i have a question . Are they all long body ? Can you get a short body ? Dont you think it looks a bit long ?? Well 3 questions . Thanks pal !!!!!

[@lutha1720]

You not suppose to drive you sit at the back and stretch your legs

[@j.martinez111]

Watch out for that cardinal .... Lol Great video

[@skip741x3]

hey buddy, doing 60 in that 30 mph naples rich neighborhood! shame! Cool your jets there Mario!! fun review dude, keep up the good work

[@BEUSA42]

This is one of the best S class ever built but some owners are not very happy they stay maintenance is expensive and they break a lot

[@lutha1720]

They were expensive they are not so expensive anymore they are as reliable as modern cars only thing is the sbc brakes that are expensive even the air suspension had repair kits available. Just get an indy that's honest and knows these cars and you will be set

[@marksanders72]

I was listening to you you're a funny funny dude man you made this video entertaining

[@andrewscottgreene]

Thank God you’re back where you belong - with the birds! Seriously, the inside video was just sad. This is another gem 💙💯💁

[@whatiswe]

Bill, once again your review is very entertaining. A place to put a hand grenade is more important than cup holders. What a car! Nothing beats it. Your driveway is the BEST place to show your cars. Light is just right @6:30am. Nice stone driveway. The birds and roosters know when you're shooting. the like the attention. Keep rocking! HAPPY MERRY HOLIDAYS!!!🎄🎁🎉

I would love this car or a lovely well loved lumina! Don’t see many of those any more. Lol 😝. I bet she would not have been insured enough to cover your s class if she sideswiped it.

[@xelnation]

I love the 03 W220

[@thebusinessfirm9862]

Nice car, mate.

[@hmanchaseblues9208]

Nice ride

[@bryantsculpting42]

Bill is awesome, Why am I laughing so hard watching this...

[@JamesEllison69]

Some say miles rode this at 72° to walter in the empire state building.

[@drluisgoncalves]

I remember riding in a car like that when it was launched to the market. What a wonderful car. Imperial comfort, exudes quality and had technological aspects such as cylinder deactivation, cruise control with adaptive function, which are still desired today.

[@MirMahmud2003]

That's how the interiors of cars should look like not like today's PC room.

[@robertdonnan5958]

[@iwill692james9]

I love your showings Bill keep up the good work the long leg girl is gorgeous but she has no conversation..lol

[@TheRyaniscoolio]

Wow very nice. I'm about to pick one up myself. A good friend of ours has one that's been garage for many years only has 50,000 miles on it! Quite an upgrade from my 01 Honda Civic DX😂 seems to be pretty reliable all things considered! Before my Honda Civic I had a 97 BMW 740iL. Talk about money pit.... Can't wait! Does anyone know of some issues I should look out for in the future? Car is literally in perfect condition. Was driven by a 70 year old

[@baseballgod8065]

Saving the planet, to hell with it. lol 😅🤣

[@cameronlovesevolve]

bought my car second hand last year ... it has a cheesy aftermarket alarm. thankfully its tied into the factory fob so i dont have some weird remote, but i fear the day it decides to stop me from driving away...

[@skysam6679]

i wish i had you as a friend you are so funny

[@jesperlett]

Why do American car reviewers always talk about going 120 (mph) down the Autobahn when reviewing big luxury sedans in America? Do you realise that the Autobahns are only in Germany and that the car you are reviewing will most likely never set wheel on European soil?

[@MrJkev23]

I’m. In the middle of buying this exact year car and color

[@NicholasHerrera-k3i]

Bill, stick with car, the birds, the goats. Get a go pro. Two or three. Your old like me. No birds...lol

[@skysam6679]

yuor funnyi like what you said about closeing the car door

[@jackreacher9452]

He forgot to mention the ridiculously expensive air suspension system that always goes bad.

[@lutha1720]

They not so expensive anymore there's repair kits available for that the sbc brakes are still expensive. The rest of the car is easy maintenance bulletbproof engine and trans
