I bought a Mercedes CLK 230k a few years ago for £995.00 with a new MOT. I drove it everywhere for a year enjoying the leather and air con etc etc. A decent drive for very little money. ANYWAY. I MOT’d the car a year later which it passed with only a few advisories and I sold it for £1250.00. Never let me down or had a single issue. Cheapest year of motoring ever!

I drive one of those Merc C220 coupes and its a brilliant car but I get the oil changed regularly and deactivate the stop start. Lack of oil changes and the stop start seem to be the main causes of the chains wearing. If I got chain rattle I'd also get it looked at. They're good cars if looked after but this one seems to have been neglected. Have you thought about messaging Salvage rebuilds UK? It might be the sort of thing they'd be interested in to fix up and would make a good youtube crossover?

Good to watch and hope you turn a profit overall

Awesome channel and content. Interested to see how that one goes with the bad engine! Met you earlier calv was there looking for a family car bmw (instructed by the mrs) was so so close to leaving with that type r on the front😂 bit of a difference. Good job there was no dc5s there. I would have like erm…this is our new family car 😂 nice to meet you man. Well done on the new site it’s looking good.

7.5k...... Not a chance!!!! A friend of mine just bought one recently, the same car in silver also a c250 not 220, near mint condition, fsh, 2 owners, also has the electric pan roof, 90k on clock he paid 6k for it retail for it.

Loving this content calvin!

Love this new series 👌

The fact the merc fired and tried to run the chain ain’t fully snapped

Love this new style content mate..

I’ve had my w204 c class since new 11 years ago. Best car I’ve ever had by a mile. Can’t think of the last time I spent money on it other than annual servicing. If there’s a better condition W204 C class AMG Sport plus in the country I’d be surprised!

Those navaras are known for snapping in half, pray for calv 😂

Love these vids, Cal is just so down to earth 😅

Calvin I love your content, What's the app you use for drag times??

# onit Work place looking good Calv . Your videos are truly engaging Calv fair play to you.. 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻

Im not a car dealer. But i bought a 1 owner under 100k Audi A4 B7 S Line Special Edition for just over £500. Absolutely mint in condition well looked after but found Engine oil in fuel tank. Currently at mechanics getting that car back on its feet. Cant wait!

Have a look and get the Merc sorted of the engine turns over it can't be as bad as they say

If you was local to South Wales i know a welder who could do weld the chassis on a Nissan Navara. Maybe worth finding a welder near you who could have a look and give u a quote

Weld the Navara = Traders Tool OBD read the Eng lights on the Merc........Spares & Repairs

I’d break the merc for parts it’s needing too much work

Hi Calv, is there a platform open to the public where you can see what options a car had from factory like the HPI app you had? Can't seem to find anything and car vertical doesn't tell you either even though it's not exactly low price

Awesome vid cal it's really nice to see how you've come along these few years on yt, keep up the good work! Great choice of cars btw my family weirdly was in the same situation but a 2010 c180 automatic prefacelift (we run a garage though!) It came in non runner snapped timing chain @134k but it would still crank (sort of) like yours, we got away with just a complete chain kit & just a oil and filter with a new aux belt and rocker cover gasket but that was it so there may be hope! And likewise it really needed all the wheels refurbed and paintwork paid less than 1k for it and my brother now daily drives it, it'll be a good one for the channel and the navara too my dad's got a 15 model year in that same high tekna/n tech (?) I think spec! which is the last of that shape and he loves it says it's one of the best pick ups he's ever had

alternator pulley needs replacing on the navara

Hello Calvin, I have a cylinder head for the Mercedes OM651 with valves and cams, would you be interested in it if you rebuild the engine in the c class

£1000 for Mercedes C-class what a bargain👌 but does need some work still a bargain.👍 That Nissan Navara is the biggest MOT failure I've seen 😱

That Navara is a shed! 😂😂😂😂😂

Don’t star that engine. The timing chain just jumped the fuel pump. Easy repair Calv!

@calvin sell me the glasses

Try Nissan I know they used to buy them back off you if they had chassis problems and they used to pay strong mo eh for them

So car vertical will only pick up once the engine and the accident on the left side has been done with insurance? If it's done privately that won't be shown....? Cause at this moment the car needs a new engine and the left side is smashed up and shows clear on car vertical.... So what if other vehicles was done privately without insurance then it means damages won't be shown on the systems 🤔

🔥🔥🔥

That C clas ran !

Can you enter the comp if your from Ireland?

lookin good

Nice calv

I want buy both where do I pick up

I got a nice euro 6 ml 350 you might want to take punt on

I smell a profit is going to be made here 👀

Calv you should have a channel dedicated for the RU-vid dealership ✌🏽

Welldone❤

Dispite the work needed thats insane to get that merc for a grand. A relative paid 21k for the same car 9ish years ago Deprecation on mercs tho is something i wouldnt wanna experience

Liking this online car dealership

Car vertical said mercedes no accidents, yet damaged down one side😂

Sounds like flood damage people think it's knackered if stops in flood and I've had bmw jammed solid after hit puddle big puddle but 2days after got it running

How much is the merc Calvin ?

Would like to see a Vauxhall Monaro 4 door on this channel

And Everything The timing chain Takes with it

Is this going to be trade sale stuff

Carvertical says owner change but It could just be an address change with the same owner..

Dont need back brakes mate . As it needs to go to have the need to stop 😅

That one on auto trader in leeds has been on sale for months deffo dodgy 😂

Was about to buy that merc as a project better it went to you😂😂😂

i had a 2014 220 d coupe in black exactly like the one featured here , one of the worst cars ive ever had , the engine is so noisy and that foot operated parking brake , nightmare lol

Imagine I'm currently sat in my just finished bunker watching this video 😂 I bet no ones done that for this channel 😂

Should of exported that Nissan

@Calvin selll me the glasses

Does it make any difference if that merc has service history or not obviously the owners proper neglected it 🤣

Sad looking at that Mercedes. I sold my BMW same age / year few months ago for £13700.

I bet that Merc is a cam position sensor fault. 😉

I think if its fixed and detailed then Calvin can sell it for 2000 pounds

14:28: think you are meant to say “Claim any vat” not “pay any vat” “that they pay”!

Not got the time to watch I’m gutted I would of enjoyed this one

Chassis is covered by Nissan get in contact with them, chassis gets sent to Spain to be done

C63 engine conversion

Sell me the glasses calv

Yoo calvin!

Do a collab with Matt Armstrong for the Mercedes?

The white merc has the exact same story as me! My c350 died on the motorway no hard shoulder! Engine failure. 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

u should of knocked it dow to £750 , re merc coupe

Fancy a mk2 focus st 4K :)

scrap it for parts as its worth more in bits.

Break the navara

That mercedes needs a lot of work

How this is acc my dream car I would pay a grand just to have it in my drive

Can I have the glasses? I wanna look like sausage 🙂🙃🙂

Are you just showing cars you bought or sales also?

Will man charges a lot for work

£1 would be too much for the merc

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🚘

sell it too salvage rebuild uk

hi

EnterReg site is down

Look like a sausage 😂😂

Drove one before was rough as for some reason no one maintains them

Hi mate I don’t have any other social media… I’m looking at selling my a45 amg very high spec.. would you be interested. It’s in the rare green too.

Navara’s of that generation are terrible 😖 Be good if you got yourself a ramp Calv, we could of watched you poking around under a rotten Navara
