I BOUGHT A *HIGH MILEAGE* E220 CDI! 

We have a diesel car on the channel.... Not a common thing here. Decent car tho 👌 Shout out to everyone on insta who requested it. Give me a follow if you don’t already: instagram.com/calvinscardiary

No one: Calvin during 50% of his videos: errrrrrrrm

I have 420k km on my w211 2.2 and still runs like new! Mileage is nothing if you maintain it properly. Great video btw 👏

High mileage never is a big turnoff for me when looking to buy a car. Cars are like aircraft or basically any machinery in this case. The most stuff breaks when they sit around unused. If maintenance was always done correctly everything should be all right.

Ive always bought high mileage motors, so long as they have history, bargains. Great channel Calvin

Love the head in hands pose on a thumbnail don’t ya 🤦🏼‍♂️

Found one with 600000km or 375000miles and still running

Nothing wrong with a high miles Merc Calvin … good maintenance history is a must thou

The actual form of that car is art. I just find it beautiful.

Who else can hear Scott killmer ringing his bell shouting endless money pit?? Just me??

I actually love this type of vids honestly😂😂

Champagne motoring at lemonade prices lol

nice upload Calvin its nice to see the day to day cars your buying aswell as the performance car uploads you do, keep up the good work its always a pleasure to watch your vids

High mileage.... .? It’s barely run in man 😂😂🇩🇪

My dad's E220 has 304k km driven rn, amazing car!

This was (still is to some extent) a very popular taxi model in Finland. And these things do huge amounts of mileage without braking a sweat. Just now one guy broke the 1 million km mark in his 2016 E 300 bluetec (with the V6 tho). Original everything pretty much. Only a new alternator every now and then, and of course some suspension&brake parts. Also a lot of 4-cyl w212 facelifts with more than 500k km, no problem.

Genuinely thought you actually meant high mileage, that’s barely even ran I. I’ve seen newer, 65 plates with 300k on them 🤣

Excellent video as usual Calvin. 180,000 miles for a merc is just run in. 1000s used as taxis around the world must be proof that these are good cars. High mileage merc = great value for money. Cheers, Jon.

I love how every vlog on RU-vid that dealers are doing vlogs all say they have had no trouble with their cars. They must be the luckiest people alive .

I currently have a 2004 Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI 130 that I use for work . It's now covered 277,500 miles with full service history and it's still running perfectly well .

12 or 13 bhp 😂😂

I've been spending 2 days looking at youtube for car-reviews of mercedes'es, because I'm thinking of buying a used one. But all they ever talk about is the interior, if they are sporty and useless shit. This is one of the best videos I've found. Nice job mate. Excatly what I was looking for. I don't want to know how then infortainment system work, or how much legroom is in the back. I want to know if it's a piece of junk after 100k mils or not. Thank you for making this video. Thank you!

There are plenty of these with over 400.000 miles in Europe and they're still running great. These things are very reliable and durable cars that are built to last.

Can you do more like this,Just for us old boy's 64 years.Thank you.

A few years back I flew to Germany and was collected at the airport by a brand new E220 diesel taxi. Three days later I returned to the airport in another E220 diesel taxi. The difference was the second one had done over 600k km. if you had a blindfold on there was no way to tell the difference between the two.

As soon as I see the title “high mileage” and a Mercedes E220 cdi I automatically think Taxi

Old mans got an E220 2012 with 420k on the clock, still going strong!

All on point Calvin. Im guessing a car like this probably 30 g or more just a few years back. So a buyer is getting a hell of a lot of car for a few g

My E350 is currently on 296,000 miles and has only let me down once since I bought it with 98,000 on it, best car I have ever owned! I too use wipes in cars 😂

Ah, the old Stuttgart Taxi; truly engineered like no other car in the world. Had a 2007 model some years back, bought it at 2.5 years old from a main dealer for less than a similar age C Class and you get so much more class and refinement. Bullet-proof reliability, cheap to service for its size (especially at a specialist rather than a main dealer) and nearly 50mpg on a long motorway run. Clearly more of a "limo" than a sports car and as you mention, it quietly encourages sensible driving. Not quite as refined as an S Class but far better value pound for pound. Great to see such an underappreciated automotive classic getting some air time. Thank you!

Calvin I love your videos, this is the type of video I would love to see more, because of your onit mind set ive bought my first car to sell on it’s an e90 320i with 138k miles, what I do love to know more about is how your source your cars for a bargain price is it auction? I’m talking other than people finding you to sell your car as a beginner like me won’t have that option as a source of cars. Also do you buy cars off people at higher/ more competitive price than say for example we buy any cars? I think I won’t profit at all on this car as all in with travels and collection etc the car cost me £1700 and I don’t think I can’t sell it for much more than that. I would appreciate some advice. I know it’s a sensitive subject and you might not like sharing it but for example this e220 is worth 7k how much roughly did you pay for it as a rough guide? Thanks Andy

Love these vids do more like this!

Do enjoy these kind of videos Calvin. You can’t beat a reliable 1.9tdi

I own a 2012 E350CDI Avantgarde trim, KeylessGo, Lingatronic, BiXenon, full black leather with ergonomic seats and a lots more... All service at a local MB dealer, last one at 570.000km or about 354.000 miles. Original engine, gearbox, everything standard and never opened or repaired. I just love the feeling the car, 265Bhp and 620Nm Cheers from Denmark.

Good video Calvin! Iv watched all your videos and i love the knowledge and tips you give. Im in the same trade and i appreciate your videos like this, we need to see more vids on trading etc. Im a petrol head and love the fast car videos but more of these type of videos please brother 👍🏽👊🏽

The 220 doesn’t always mean 2.2 litre diesel btw, just like the c250 isn’t a 2.5 litre it’s a 2.1 🤷‍♂️

Great video. I’ve always been fascinated with high mileage cars. If this is looked after it’ll do double the mileage it’s got now.

My mates a Mercedes specialist, and he claims the high miles are the Best Buy, as lower mile cars, which have being left lying around for long periods suffer more issues.

Nice review!!! Keep up the good job 👍

Dam that e-class looks comfortable 😂

Loving your channel Calvin keep up the good work bro. Just got a question as your in the game and know a lot about cars. I’m thinking of buying and e46 m3 with the smg box is their anything I should watch out for or know about before buying one? This would be appreciated thanks.

Oh yeah, great vid Calvin.

I like these type of videos, keep them coming #humble

I bought one this weekend. 350000 miles / 560000 km. Beautiful.

rear lights looks amazing on this merc in dark

I’ve got one of these on a 65 plate and I feel your pain when you said it ain’t got no power, I myself just chill and drive it about as a taxi and it’s bloody great! Nice to see.

Completely agree high mileage is never an off putting thing. I See it as if it's been looked after I would rather 250k plus compared to a non serviced at 30k...

This is such a sick video - so much better to see a standard car that the average person would buy

Very nice car 🤩 Sold my E-Class at 376.000 km. Miss it .

Nice looking car, it's held together very well considering the mileage.

Love this video Calvin. Can't Tell you why exactly but it's made me subscrib. I guess I'm a lover of regular cars not the moded stuff. I love mercs too. Please keep this coming mate.

Hello, I have the same year model 2013 car, bought it in march this year in Enfield BCA , paid £6600 with 155000 mile on the clock, beautiful car, fantastic to drive, went all way to Istanbul and back again without a problem, this car can do half a million mile, Cheers

Yay finally an E220! they can drive so long and my dad has one too

Had few high mileage cars with 100k plus at the time only way i could get into the car i wanted.Definitely do it again if the money is right

Good topic 👏 I actually own a 2007 Audi A4 tdi sline with 352000 miles on the clock same as you mentioned lots of audi service history and maintained right through its life by an audi dealer Ive owned it over 12 months now with out any problem. The earlier models had that oil pump issue and with me doing some research i learnt the later models had this issue revised and solved. Ive always liked this shape and it was a steal tbh. Great channel keep it up.

Great video this, I have a c220, same engine, a remap to 220 bhp sorted the performance out!

A car with high mileage isn't necessarily a turn-off, but on the other hand you have to take into account that, when going over 250.000 km, serious problems can appear, even if the car was looked after. I'm talking injectors, turbos, piston rings, flywheel, clutch and gearbox, all potentially very expensive.

I really like theys types off vids !

I've had a quite a few highmilers, the worst being an audi A5, had nothing but trouble with it and the best was my little civic 2.2 diesel!

My Prius is a 2009 has done 229000, still drives like a dream. If you service the car on time and look after it, then mileage is just a number.

I do the same thing, when I buy a new car always wipe it down with hygenie and baby wipes. Keep up with the good content Calvin it’s been brilliant so far and couple you upload another video about your e46 m3’s it’s been a while

I am a car dealer my self and I got 1 simular 2014 model in good price. Original intention was to sell it and make some profit but I have since kept it for my own use. Now I am in love with its comfort so I can't sell it anymore. Only reason I will now sell it will be an upgrade to newer shape 2017 onwards

High mileage Mercs and Volvos are usually a safe bet from my experience. It really does depend how vigilantly they've been maintained though 👌

High mileage and looked after is way better than low milage and abused. I bought a E46 330ci with low milage. It needs a lot of tlc to bring it back. Previous owner bought it for £9k with 29000 miles on the clock a couple of years ago. A year later I paid 3 for it with only a few miles more, and I drove most of those. it's an awesome car, but needs a hell of a lot of work because it's spent several years in a barn. It's a project and I knew it would have it's Gremlins.

Yes to high milers with decent service history, wouldn't hesitate to buy. Cheap motoring, reliable motoring as well these days.

Any modern day vehicle, with full service history, looked after will see 200k miles without anything major going wrong..yes they might have a clutch and most of the wear and tear parts replaced but as Calvin says..they are a bargain.

I got 300k miles 2013 e220 no issues with at all throughout ownership regular servicing that's all

180k? Engines barely broke in! Love diesels! Calvin if i could import it to USA I’d get from ya! #ONIT!

Great video again but one thing it's not autumn it's definitely winter cal 😂👌🏼

Great review. I own a Night Edition E220 and its a great car. Not fast by all means but gets the job done and reasonable on fuel. ILS headlights are a must though. Once you have them you never look back lol

Had a 2006 E280 cdi bought for £3000, had 225,000 mile.had it 5 years. Sold it at 240,000 for £2000, never had any bother bother with it. Great car, miss it.

“It’s got 12 or 13BHP” 🤣🤣🤣 Way I look at it, this sort of car is your bread and butter, everything else is a bonus 🤛🏻👍🏻

Them E Class’s are great mile munchers ,that isn’t Galactic miles if I’m honest not when you know a chauffeur with an 2016 E350 Cdi with 240k smiles and still going strong ,I wouldn’t hesitate in buying a high mileage merc diesel ,good video Calvin 👍.

I had a 2015 one of these and it was such a dull car to drive, so glad to get rid of it

180k is nothing on a dsl merc ive had one with twice that on it.

My dad use to own E220 cdi... w210, sold it with 650k on the clock then he owned w211, w123, w124.... great cars. They’ve got their faults but which car hasn’t. Merc is always a safe bet.

What I used to do mate was if you had a punter into a high miler and they were loving the price but being put of by the miles on the clock, have the mileage adjustment man sort it, mainly people just don't want their mates etc to know they bought a high miler, as long as the motor is not misrepresented in any way.

My bro's 2003 honda hornet 600 has got 134,000 miles now on its original engine and is still perfect and uses no oil. Some bikers think bikes have had it when they get to 50,000 miles. As long they have had fully synthetic in and fsh they will do 100,000+ miles.

Hi bud, very affirmative vlog.. were looking at a 2008 clc 220 cdi with 111.325 kilometres on it.. getting it for 3k.. is this good.. & is that model good? What even is that millage in miles lol.. cheers keep the good vlogs up

I love your laugh at the start 🤣👌🏻

I brought a 2011 c class coupe C180 120,000 miles and the timing chain had to be repaired shortly after that ,costing under £4000 ( faults in certain engines with timing chains)It’s been serviced with mercedez 13 times in 8 years I love the car it just feels like new , even mercedez said it’s like a new car. I’m looking to keep it for many miles and years to come. And yes I love a high mileage car but it has to have good service history.oh and only 1 previous owner.

There's nothing wrong with high mileage cars as long as they've been looked after. ..its like you said if it makes money sense and is value then why not. At the end of the day people know what they are buying and if there wasn't a market for these types of cars then there would be yards full of them wasting away. So another great buy as well as a great video

I have an 2006 Mercedes ML350 gas engine. Bought it with about 130k mi. Now it has 215k mi and it still runs like a champ. Amazing in snow. Few tiny tings that came up over the years but nothing crazy. My next car will be a mercedes too for sure.

I've only been a passenger in the e class I've been in and love how comfortable they are.I've been in a e63 amg but even the e350 diesel was pretty quick

" giggles" with 12-13 bhp joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Had one similar to this, but a 350 coupé. Did 95k in 3 years, Engine absolutely bulletproof and rapid. Can’t recommend that enough.

*01:08* So many people asked you to make a video on a 2.0 Diesel Merc 😂😂

Good advice. Before watching this I thought thought my 69000 mile C220 CDI was high mileage.

I've got the 250 version of this with a map, lowered and a few other mods. Although not the quickest it's a nice place to be and really got under my skin. Had all sorts of stuff over the years but can't seem to part with this one!

High mileage? There's a reason they're popular taxi cars.

bro first thing i do is wipe the steering wheel also a taxi at my bit got a insignia at 300k still going nice car you bought audi is better but lol got a a6 c7 facelift and its a realy nice car to drive

Really nice car you got! From another Benz driver 👍

When would you have to think about shock absorber upgrades n the like?? I just did it on my 2004 Volvo and it runs a lot better. 140 k

Cleaning steering wheel is a good idea....must have all sorts on it

If the maintenance is good, that engine will do the same miles again. In most European countries they are used as Taxis as that car comes in taxi spec. They just keep going.

I think Mercs are a good choice for an every day car. Older ones do seem to wear well if serviced regularly. I can't decide on one of these.. or a CLS 350 diesel...or c class coupe diesel...all similar economy. Looking at 2012 period

You can get a lot of car for little money with high mileage cars . Love watching your videos on your Range Rover and others.

I ant to buy mercedes e class coupe e220d amg line 2017 may but has 40.000 miles when this cars start having problems after how many miles I want to do 70.000 and sale Can you help me with your advice thank you 🙏

Did it sell Calvin? What did it go for if you don’t mind me asking. I’m a bit worried when my BMW F10 has run it’s pcp it’ll be nearly worthless at 120k miles and it’ll be 10 years old too.

If looking for a second hand car would you favour age over mileage, so younger with high miles Vs older with lower mileage?
