I can't even begin to list all of the ignorant and insanely dumb things he says in this video. He makes a few valid points about high maintenance and depreciation but c'mon. My god who is ACTUALLY this stupid, I realize he's old school but this dude has a few loose connections in that head of his. A mechanic of almost 5 decades that can't figure out how to put gas in a CLS550 then says there's something wrong with the engineers that designed the car...
I Agree! I particularly thought the part where he criticized the On-board computers was plain stupid. "Who wants a car that tells you that a bulb in the trunk is blown?" !
I would have to agree with him. He never touched on SBC brakes, Airmatic failures, fuel leaks in the trunk, hot water heater valve failures, ball joints failing, pulling right, camber bolts and the list goes on and on. The $20,000 was pretty close to what my E500 was in warranty claims with SBC failures, being towed in, Airmatic failures having to remove the rear suspension, ball joints and on and on and on.
I think he was a little melodramatic but has a valid point. Why would you want to spend $$ to know the trunk light is burned out?
But what do I know anyway my wife doesn't agree with me either.
You're feeding his media blitz strategy by talking about him. Ignore the fool, let his advertising income whither, and he'll dry up and blow away like all the other haters.... although there will always be the ones like a certain Chevy Driver on here who just want to rant and rage. Just don't give them the audience they crave!

You see the highest percentage mercedes on the road? Sales figures ensure that this is generally bull****, unless you happen to live in newport beach or similar.

You screwed up, now just admit it and move on.
Haters gonna hate. Shoo fly... shoo!
...and to the one who PM'd me, and called me a "Hater Baiter"... Well I never!

I know this post is 6 years old... but he’s clearly biased. He even failed to mention how this CLS500 has one of the most reliable engine tranny combos of all time 😂

A cop pulled me over one night last year, he wanted my DL before explaining why he pulled me over, I asked why and he said my license plate light was out, I told him it wasn’t, he argued back that it was, I said lets check,he said stay in the car, ran my DL and returned with a ticket, I refused to take it, I said I’m checking my plate, he walked back with me, I said both sides are lit, the asswipe was amazed that I caught him in his lie and still tried hand me the ticket and I told him to eat it. So its great that I am reminded of any light being burned out.
