Always know interest rates before you go into the dealership. At the time I bought my last used car I had checked my financial institution to find their rate was 3%. The dealer told me they could get me financed at 3.5%. When I mentioned that I could get 3% suddenly their rate dropped to 2.5%.

[@rogerrolex6981]

To get the emotional start you have to turn the ignition on put it in sport plus then pull the shift lever. I haven’t looked at interest rates lately but if you have a A+ plus credit 750 and above you could’ve got better rates with credit union or USAA. The F&I definitely took advantage of you for sure with 760+ . I wouldn’t ever use a dealership again. Walk in with your own or better yet get a dealer license and you can save the tax and registration fees as often as you flip the cars. That’s what I’d recommend to you. Just your dealer license alone will save you enough money to where you could also get a project car and that you can buy it at auction if that’s something you’d be interested in doing I don’t know👍

The reflection in the mirror is due to your tint. Yes, I deal with it too. I rigged up my side cameras to come on via turn signals in the infotainment screen. Man they gave you a great deal on your TRX. Good to see they're still holding value solidly in the fact of the Raptor/Raptor R. Yeah, 9.29% is high-ish, BUT banks are a bit more aggressive on loans of high amounts to stem their losses, particularly on repossions. Under 10% on THIS car(yes it is often the actual car and make that drive interest rates as well) isn't too bad in our times. Plus you'll be able to re-fi within a year if your don't sell.

[@twinturbo69camaro]

Love the S65 coupe, congrats on the purchase! Resale values on higher end German cars are typically very poor as compared to the original sticker price. After 4-5 years the values drop off a cliff. The purchase price represents a significant savings off the original purchase price, but the maintenance costs are still very much inline with a $245K car. Having the ability to do some maintenance yourself will help, but the price of the parts will still be painful as will those instances in which the repair cannot be done on your own. Enjoy the ride and keep the up great channel!

Here is how to get the exhaust louder at start. Push the start button until everything lights up but don't put your foot on the break. Shift the car into S+ and then put your foot on the brake and push the button to start the car. The valves will be open already and you will hear the crack and a very loud startup.

[@LawrenceMarkFearon]

You can always refi but might not be able to find the dream spec. I predict the S65 Coupes will be appreciating in a few years with S coupes extinct and the onslaught of EV's from Mercedes. But you'd probably have to keep it for a few years to realize that appreciation. Those new wheels are everything too man.

I am by no means a financial expert, but I would suggest trying to refinance asap with a local credit union. I just bought a 2017 R8 plus (loved yours btw), and I got a 5.45 % rate.

Bought many vehicles in the past and paid them all off. Give my EIN and 30 minutes later go pick up the vehicle. Commercial interest rates are typically higher by a few points. Well we go to buy a new truck and Ford Financial says 8k down, 11% APR, no less than 7 year loan, and I have to be a Guarantor. I says no way! Go to the next place. same thing but they want 13%. I says well try one more and then forget it. Guy gets me a 9.9%, nothing down, 4 year loan, no Guarantor.....1 week ago, we need a new van, used car lot sends me to a guy that is "said to be good" at getting people approved. Gets me approved in about 30 minutes for a $50,000 at 8% with 3 years and tells me I'm also approved for another $150,000 through the same bank at the 8% and its good for 60 days! Dafaq? Ive NEVER been over-approved!......At the end of the day, yes rates are up, banks are acting weird, but it certainly comes down to who you know/if you get lucky.....Congrats on the car.

[@Papolucho702]

I get the finance stuff behind this. My story is basically this: in March 2022, I had a 2021 Avalon Hybrid, I was upside down on it. I had a 3.9% rate on it, so my credit was fairly decent. My wife and I got a 2020 4Runner to replace it. The rate was 10%. At that time, I didn’t care, because we love that beast. I made it a goal to make at least 12+ payments. We just refinanced to 7% and I did not extend the loan. So payments will eat more of the balance. We still have it and it just got rear ended. It’s not totaled but makes my conviction to keep it stronger! Your Mercedes is an absolutely amazing masterpiece. Keep at it! Haven’t missed a video on it!

I wish him the best, but think he'd benefit from a little more common sense and (business) maturity.

[@deanm72]

Well I'm curious how you would've made this purchase?

[@clancep]

I feel the same way. It's like a reoccurring thing with him. I personally would not have bought it. As much as I appreciate the transparency, I couldn't justify taking on an auto loan for an almost 10% interest rate regardless how much in love I am with a car. My priority would have been to invest in a house that had more than 1 garage. Ha! But hey, it's a beautiful car and Congrats! :)

[@ssjlkrillin]

So many of these guys on youtube buy these depreciated AMGs/BMWs/Porsches to brag and show them off, but lack understanding of how to maintain and/or afford the vehicle. Is it more about the car, or are they starved for attention?

[@Touriz332]

One of the reasons why I can't justify getting into something else right now. I'm in a C7.5 S7 with a 2.04% rate and it doesn't make any sense to switch (as much as I want to make it make sense)

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

First!!

[@benlecluyse]

LMFAO 🤣

[@blakeolivia]

I wasn’t wild about the lock of this car when you bought it, but those wheels absolutely transformed it. Love the wheels and the car.

I don’t think you will enjoy this car with the exhaust your planning. This is a different V12 to others. It’s not a free revving V12, it’s built for maximum torque rather than high revving quick revving. Good luck regardless. Amazing car

Reflection in the mirrors may be aided by proper mirror adjustments. As you lookat them , if you can see any of YOUR , in them , they are not too helpful. Mine are set so that i have to lean to see even a schmidge of my car in them. When on the road i just have to glance either way to see whats coming up on either flank. It makes backing up easier too. It's weird at first, but its very effective after you practice it. Its because you're not used to NOT seeing you're car! I read it in Car and Driver.

[@tremell7559]

The reflection in your side mirrors is not poor engineering of the car itself. It's caused by the window tint. Live with it or replace the tint to one where that effect doesn't happen.

[@trionic5]

I subscribed when you made the fusion sport vs taurus sho 0-60 video and I’ve been a consistent viewer since then and I don’t plan to stop watching.

[@Ezzie4692]

Very informative! I grew up kinda poor (we were poor but I was always a go getter and have never felt poor even when I am cash low). ANYWAY… I loved cars as a teen but moved to NYC and lived there for 10 years without a vehicle. I lost track of a lot of my burgeoning car knowledge. Cut to being 43 and I’m finding myself into cars again but work in the at times volatile business of film & tv. I can have nice things but I also have to be very sensible or very creative to financially give myself what I want. Thanks for explaining how you do what you do. I’m inspired in a variety of ways but mostly inspired to go for what lights my inner fire. I love a car that wants to be driven to the store for a single item. My little kid self who loves action and adventure is sometimes my best self.

[@Daddyj2007]

First Tavarish now you y’all make me want a S65 so bad like that’s my real life dream car I just don’t make enough to afford to have one and still live comfortably like y’all 😢😢

[@Valdismith]

This is possibly the last return of the SClass coupe, like in the 90s earlier European S coupes were badged S560 SEC, with the headlights taller on the hood, then it might have been a CL for a little bit, until years later the CL became a different model, but maybe replacing the S class coupe. It is great decision u bought not only the last real S class coupe, but mostly the last V12, it's a keeper, appreciating with time. In Europe, Bulgaria 1992 or somewhere close, we used to call the legendary V8 porsche engine in the 2 door W124 E class a "Chochone" we cherished it. I just saw 2015 or so the smaller brother of thi S coupe, an E class AMG 45 coupe, with the wider rear fenders. ONG it was the last E class coupe, without placing some new model for the nieshe with many letters for model, if the do. It was the revolutionary W124 V8 Porsche E class coup of the 90s new brother of the new generatin COUPE E Class! Those are great cars and the V12 S coupe -he should never change it, replace anything else, but this Sccoupe V12 it's a last legend!

[@benbustama3430]

Used car interest rates are always more than new car loans, but you already knew that. Yep, AMG fan here. Love your new whip… Cheers Mike

[@rehabmd]

I have 2 s65 2015 bought new 3.9% 2018 bought at 7% . Score 710 fortunately both paid off and I love both!!!!!

[@taffygore6285]

This is a beast man . I’ll still buy this car 10 years from now

[@jonny5777]

It makes total sense for you because with the money you generate from your videos that high interest rate is almost irrelevant. I don’t know how people without a KZbin channel can afford well frankly, anything at the moment with interest rates the way they are.

[@jimhimesjr]

Pittsburgh is a beautiful city. Coming through the fort Pitt tunnel into the city is quite a site to behold!

[@alo7637]

I'm from the Burgh as well and stumbled on your channel. Love seeing someone from the Burgh on KZbin! That said, I purchased a Mercedes C300 in Dec at 8.99% (made me want to vomit) through Mercedes financial with a 762 TransUnion score and just refinanced for 42 months at 4.75%. So just suggesting to keep it for a couple months and refi.

[@marvelleh]

Your videos do well because you are transparent about things and you stay humble.

[@Fluterra]

You need to adjust your side mirrors OUTWARD! Then you won’t see the vents. And not sure about you, but I’ve never been hit by my own car. You don’t need to see the side of your car in the mirrors.

[@UltimateDan1]

You can get a better cold start by pressing the ignition without depressing the brake, then switch it to the most aggressive sport mode (sport+?), then start the car.

[@5namtab]

Videos about this car are my favorite things 😍 Enjoy 😉 to the fullest ✨️

[@keithbaldwin4509]

I used to live in Pittsburgh. Nothing compares to driving through those tunnels and then... BAM the whole city in front of you. Don't miss the weather though 🙃

[@mattmannette9151]

Now my favorite Merc. You love what you are doing and can earn a living. You have a passion for this. Can't put an interest rate on that!

[@MiamiBeachElite]

That's actually the APR, which included dealer fees, junk fees and more fees. Also, the APR is likely higher given the older car. It is nice car and rims!
