I Bought a "Lightly" Crashed S550....and I'm Going to Fix it!

Today I show you guys the new rebuild car project Mercedes S550 I just picked up from Copart! This is a 2015 Mercedes S550 I got delivered to my door for about $28K. The repairs don't look too extensive, really - looks worse than it is.

[@Tyler.i.81]

I love the way inja and Lord kurt are just two guy's together building their dream.....projects kind of warms the heart.

[@cnvdh3514]

The heart to heart reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson explaining why people love cars. I'm so excited man, can't wait to see the finished project. Those S550's are beasts

[@TheInja]

Can't wait to show you the progress 💯

[@kingfishbird6363]

Bro , you work hard for everything you got . Let the haters hate . 🥂🍾

[@TheInja]

💯💯

[@stayoffthemarbles6790]

You car repair and bodywork skills are insane! Big fan, love the channel! Keep it up!

[@TheInja]

Thanks Will! Can't wait to show you the repairs on it next! 🙌🏽

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

just a reminder not sure if you know this but the SL spare needs to be pumped up before installing thats its flat state. this builds gonna be mad great eye on the purchase doesnt look like it needs much.

[@OshakaTamu]

Nice job man keep it up & although I couldn't participate in Electric Ducati giveaway..Anyway Much Love from Nepal..😊👍

[@CapeGlam]

congrats man , im happy for you and looking forward to watching the repair videos , and you don't need to explain yourself bro, people will always talk, do what makes you happy..... much love from Cape Town, South Africa

[@ryanputnam9462]

I love the car videos! Best of luck on the rebuild!

[@beckaskola719]

Watching from Bosnia, feeling excited about this project!

inja that is some real progress you got what you deserve

[@chuck1011212]

That thing is so sweet! Looking forward to seeing your progress on this ride.

[@TheInja]

Can't wait to show you!

[@TheRealAlpha2]

Seems like one of the best run/drive vehicles I've ever seen come out of a Copart transaction. I wouldn't say it's an image thing but you like luxury (dude, footwell lighting? That's premium), there's nothing wrong with that, who wouldn't get one assuming they could deal with the repairs.

[@TheInja]

For SURE.

[@cherokeemary9654]

Good for you man it's a really nice car I'm happy for you 🙂🙂🙂 keep doing what you love because we love everything you do.

[@philhornsby23]

Awesome, thats a great car, looking forward to seeing the end product 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@theprodigalstranger5259]

Man you really just made me miss my A5. My S80 T6 is great but that Audi was a drivers car and begged to be driven.

[@vaporsfutbolclub3595]

Can’t wait to see the process! Don’t worry about what ppl think. If I could fix a lambo I would! Your blessed to have the skills, so do you homie!

[@johnpacheco4059]

Nothing wrong with being excited 😜 good luck 🍀👍

[@paule5812]

Congratulations on your newest car I hope you get many miles and smiles from it.

[@leeberry3155]

Yes bro a really nice car to add to your collection,top build bro ,come onnnnn

[@trackmonger]

Its great to hear from a fellow car lover! S550 is legendary, you will love it.

[@leeberry3155]

Pls forgive my pesentness in calling your 550 500 ,schoolboy error 😔

[@tonychavez2083]

that is a gem of a car, the W222's are special, a huge improvement over previous 220 and 221's - good job man!

[@TheInja]

Thanks Tony!

[@allthingsawesome8298]

You don’t need to make excuses or feel bad about it. You’ve worked hard and it’s your money!

[@nowhere25]

I'm looking forward to this one 💪

[@amrat5979]

You are too good love from India ❤️

[@DawgboneJohnson]

There are 2 Batteries the engine start battery and the main battery. It will be located in the trunk well on the right.

[@mrmawson2438]

I believe you are a ok guy Great video mate 👌

[@johnandjanetclark9158]

Another great video! We only subscribe to two channels on KZbin, yours and Trent and Allie. Please take a tip from Trent and Allie and get a PO Box just for your subscribers. We would have sent a baby gift … who knows what fun things might appear in your box! Sadly, there will always be mean and jealous people out there, but there are also people who may just want to drop you a postcard!

[@demonen1]

Cool projekt 😀😀👍👍 but the right headlight probably not be cheap new! Try to find a second hand..

[@TheInja]

Absolutely

[@78sound]

That rim splitting probs helps with people safety as well

[@mrmawson2438]

Looks great

[@baivesan]

Slightly less damaged and possibly cheaper to fix than Tavarish's AMG. :D

[@ratheonhudson3311]

"In the trunk... It's a car seat! We can have another kid!" gotta love spontaneous jokes

[@dasvadany]

How does one find out or locate “totaled” cars for rebuild im wondering. ?

[@jbg192]

Man, I’d really love to go for a ride in that sometime…😜

[@EmT.4CHRIST_]

Thank you ✝️❤️

[@garagenextdoor807]

My fav gen S Class! Will you be also getting the rear AMG bumper and side skirts too?

[@TheInja]

Not yet, I'm just repairing the damage... I'll think about spending more money on it later 🙈 haha

[@RonTheGod]

That's an easy fix. I think the most difficult part will be the tech pieces. S class has a lot of sensors and cameras.

[@TheInja]

For sure

[@jscott2285]

How did u go by getting copart to inspect it ?

[@angelg2638]

Fk the haters. I also (finally) got an S class (also used) and some people insinuate it's an ego thing. I just go, "I guess you're right. I can't force myself to drive a crappy car"! BOOM! Shut their business! You don't need THEIR permission. Do what you like. Drive what you like. It's not your problem THEY have lower standards. "The best. Or nothing". Mercedes. Good luck. You're a good man with so much talent and blessed with a beautiful and awesome wife. (We actually like when she shows up! You lucky bastid)!

[@mrmawson2438]

Cracking buy

[@epicbtu]

I’m just dang…. Twin turbo V8. Yes sir!

[@at20rule]

Did you do a garage lights video??? If not what are they???

[@TheInja]

Yeah man! Honeycomb lights from Amazon, I linked them in the description of the latest Ducati build videos!

[@Latubiful]

Just dont hurry it, awesome car tho =)

[@aarongrigsby1117]

It will be immaculate when your done ☑️

[@kingfishbird6363]

Facts ..

[@louietramposch4559]

Someone once thought one of my cars was a "Status" car I was like 🤨. First upgrade no run flats😅. Cars will always be a utility just like your jeep 😉☝️🤟👽🙇‍♂️

[@OcotilloTom]

You sure must have some understanding neighbors!

[@TheInja]

Yeah they're okay 💁🏽‍♀️

[@countryrider8150]

Make sure there is fluids in the car before you drive it so nothing happens like the last time

[@TheInja]

Lol

[@e-bikerbulgaria]

Fast learner The Inja, 😎 Nice car 👍👍

[@RL.1]

Overall it doesn't look bad though. LMAO. Dude, it's a high-end German car. Good f****** night Irene. You gonna learn the hard way.

Just to piss off that hater you talked about at the end make that S550 your wifes new grocery getter 💪🏼

[@drakemayo8944]

Does anybody know if someone has one the electric Ducati yet??

[@lizzw4216]

Those looked like kitten footprints so hopefully one wasn’t in the engine lol raccoons are pretty close looking. It’s hard to tell but I’m pretty sure it’s cat prints

[@m4rj352]

🔥

[@MrSilvernugget]

Is there a video on repair?

[@TheInja]

Yep! The series finished already, so there's more videos in the playlist or on my channel. :)

[@bluej511]

Oh man you got some work cut out for you. Right off the bat, airbags, knee and wheel, airbag module, seat belt. Gonna be a pretty penny this one.

[@dirty2jz283]

Are there 2 or 3 batteries now in the s550? I forgot.

[@TheInja]

2!

[@Skiridr22]

The car didn’t come with a spare tire?

[@yang3405]

Raccoon prints !!!

[@ShawnChristopher10101]

I was going to ask if a winner on the Ducati giveaway had been selected yet (haven't seen anything related to it lately), but after hearing you vocalize about someone talking down on getting the S550...seriously if someone is going to dismiss your efforts on acquiring what will have an R title to it...they obviously don't get the point. Keep on building.

[@TheInja]

Announcement soon, waiting for PowerJDM to get back to me with the raffle data. They are sucking. They said they were on it but haven't heard from them for a week and some now. Thanks a ton, Shawn 💯

[@seantorstenson5502]

@@TheInja I actually went through all of the sweepstakes rules/info. Apparently they give the winner 7 days to respond to them and after confirming that they are eligible, they have another 3 days to get all the papers signed. So it could take 10 days from the time they draw a winners name. 😮‍💨 And unfortunately I haven't received the email about winning yet...... hahaha. Keep doing your thing and don't mind the haters on your "image."

Hello mate 👍

Always nice to see Mr Maw hit me with those early comments 😏

[@wesleyshafer6310]

Jeeps are awesome

[@ianmangham4570]

What's the point of carrying the spare if it doesn't fit 😂 you'd have thought they'd put a full size wheel in the boot incase they were stuck. 🙄, well at least it's in your hands now so all is well 👍🇬🇧😇 she's a BEAST

[@TheInja]

That was the spare from the SL! fits the SL fine, just wouldn't fit over the S-class massive Brembo calipers!

[@ianmangham4570]

@@TheInja Yes I gathered that, I was saying if you fit aftermarket brakes then buy another wheel that fits and throw it in the trunk
