Great review my friend. When buying a "Classic Car" you got to have realistic and attainable goals on what you want to do on your classic car. I bought my 1997 Mercedes W140 S600 for $2200 back in 2018 and so far I have exceeded that amount because the previous owner did not kept up with its maintenance. I did all of my research, talking to others, and knowing what i'm going to get myself into prior to buying the car. I want the car to be "reliable" as it can be. I do all the work myself on what i can do. However for other works thats beyond my capacity. I would bring to a well trusted independent mechanic that knows how to work on those classic cars. Yes they are cheap to buy but it's the dedications, the work, and cost that you must be prepared to do. In the end, you have to enjoy what you bought, regardless of price, make, or model. My W140 S600 is by no means a prefect car in today standards but in my eyes, it's perfect to me because it's my happiness what counts. Every time when I drive my "Classic Car" W140 S600 I have a big smile in my face.

Well done video ! I own a 81 Oldsmobile 88 sedan and my car so far has been pretty reliable and I get looks and smiles whenever I drive it . 😊

Great video clip, yes homework, which model and yes money. I'm very happy with my R129, been maintained and all aluminum is in pristine condition. The driving experience is sublime, all car manufacturers have lost their way. Great channel thank you for posting

Thank you for your advice. Wonderful and needed. Still hasn't put me off classic Mercedes-Benz ownership

Thanks for these words m8. I started to looking on your vids coz of SL, but you help me realize I dont want it as I imagine, and lets be real even I dont has a maney to mantain it as it deserve. I will go to W124 coupe, and when I get a enought experience I will look for SL again:).

He gave a true honest review. Loved it.

Great video

Great advice .My old r129 and W126 are well liked after and it’s not cheap, but worth every penny.

Love my 300e I’ve done 85 percent of the work my self

Very informative video. This is what I'm looking for. Thanks.

A very good point there, i 1st bought a mercedes back in 2014 it was the w124 E220. I really enjoyed it , the experiences of owning that model, as you know a true teutonic in a sense, a very reliable everyday car for me. Yes i'm quite fortunate as the car needs few repairs to make it good to my eyes. Had it a good 5+ years, than i sold off and now owning a w210 E240 2.4 V6. Now this car is quite similar in many way's, but again am quite fortunate it's a good daily drive as well. I supposed like you said, you really must do your homework right.

Another really good video. The only point I slightly disagree with is you will mostly lose money buying and owning a classic. Indeed, you said it would be very rare to make money. If you buy the right car, at the right time and look after it well, you’ll more likely make money than lose money. That’s my experience anyway. Terima kasih!

Your clip came up too late..already bought my Modern Classic during the start of the mco lockdown lol...anyways good advice for those new starters!:)

I want to own a 1990s Hindustan Motors Ambassador. It’s a timeless classic and a beauty. It was a symbol of power during the 20th century and early 2000s. It was the first bullet proof car in India used by Prime Ministers and bureaucrats. And of course, I want to own a Mercedes Benz S- Class W140 model.

buy clk320 its a great car and very reliable

One important factor in the financial theme you forgot to mention - if you're not single there will be a huge extra cost in gifts and appeasements to your wife!

Is my 95 W140 considered a classic already? Thanks

How about w123 200 or 230e?
