This V12 Mercedes CL65 AMG Is an Insane $30,000 Used Car 

It’s not a sports car tho

Big engine doesn't mean sports car. It weighs more than a tank and has a slushbox transmission. Sorry bro but you're never gonna actually learn about cars watching clickbait influencer videos.

the steering wheel looks soo ancient 😜

and the true funny thing is.. the steering wheel doesn't look like it belongs in a sports car 😭

It's just an average German car

You got off cheap.

here in europe is cheaper to repair it than ford mustang from 70s

european union

It's worth it to spend the extra on a W221/C216, they're about 20x as reliable and 10x as nice inside. I almost bought an S55 a couple years ago...it had had about 40k in repairs in about 5 years. I didn't buy it. I bought an E60 M5 instead which, somehow, is cheaper to run.

I used to see these on the 405 in Los Angeles and be awe struck. I loved the styling back then

Now that makes sense.... but, I don’t think others figured it out.

Stay poor ...

Stop fucking lieing mercedes is never cheap scumbag.

@@christophermaloney8119 Saying someone is “Fu*king lieing” (you words) and referring to them as”Scumbag” isn’t justified as no response was towards you..

It’s not even slightly comparable to Brembo. It’s very intrusive to put your name on a car’s gauge cluster just because you made the abs system and some other parts. Like it’s fine to put your name on the abs itself, that’s comparable to Brembo, but not on the damn gauge cluster lmao. Car manufacturers source dozens of parts from many different companies and imagine if they all printed their name on the dashboard.

@@SPZ909 %100

bosch makes a lot of oem mercedes parts.

Bosch makes a lot more than just the ABS components. Everything from ECUs to spark plugs to fuel pumps to gauge clusters to button panels to wiper motors and so on. Bosch makes something like 1/3 of this car’s parts.

I was wondering if anyone commented that this man thinks bout the weirdest shit 😂😂🤦‍♂️

LOL

😂

Well I accidentally hit the send button before I finished. Anyway I noticed it tilting to the left, ( I see it from the rear as the nose of it is in the garage) and thought the left front tire had gone flat. Which it actually did but not for a couple of more days and not before the car was ( is) tilting an alarming angle to the left. So as I am looking at the car from the rear the front left side almost looks as though it would be dragging on the ground, it doesn't have the air shocks, has regular coil shocks so it's not the leveling system because it doesn't have a leveling system. I have to get it towed to a shop which I am terrified to do because, since I moved to this city, well suffice it to say if it weren't for lousy as well as dishonest mechanics I would never have a mechanic at all. I know I am being terribly verbose but I am just wondering if you could possibly direct me to a site where I might get an idea or if you have heard of such a thing happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated,. Oh I've been told a few times I should just get rid of the car but I'm pretty attached to the old girl. I've always kept it well maintained but this one has me stymied. I'm certainly not asking you to diagnose my car but I can usually find a forum where I get an idea of what might be wrong or what needs to be worked on but I haven't had any luck in this case so if you can be of any assistance whatsoever it would be greatly appreciated.

The right mirror in reverse comes in a package I’m not sure if every car gets it.

Hahaa I wish there was a special episode in some legal state where Doug hits a bowl and just sits inside the car creeped out by all the quirks and features around

Glad im not the only who thought that was a weird comment.

And since they crammed everything intona small space like all German cars. It would be an absolute nightmare to do even minor work on that engine. Haha

Just put black tape over the check engine light

Reason I would never buy a new car

Right check engine, check suspension, no radio sound, the list goes on and on... and on and on... and you can't swap modules from another car, because they are all programmed to that one car. Your screwed, $30k is just your start....

@Wayne Kerr you're welcome

aka "money light" !

They’re disposable cars, really. They have a “service life” unlike something like a Toyota/Honda performance car. Even if you fix them, something else will break immediately after. They were designed to be traded in an discarded for new cars once they start having problems.

@@stoneylonesome4062 I daily a 2003 CL55. Aside from a few minor issues and my serpentine belt breaking, it’s been solidly reliable and affordable to run. The 65 is a whole different beast though- AMG 55s on the other hand are known for their reliability (especially relative to their performance)

@@tenzinsmith7991 You must not have been doing or having done regular maintenance. Any mechanic would see the serpentine belt fraying and cracking. I've only had one break and that was because a friend screwed up and put a used belt back on my car, it was almost 4 years old.

@@eac1235 it looked completely fine a couple weeks prior to it breaking. I happened to be driving it hard when it broke. Later I discovered that my idler pulley, though not broken, was a bit worn out so I replaced that too.

a TT v12 that is more powerful than any new S class :D

He probably said that because you open the hood and it’s just a plastic cover the same size as the hood. Lol.

no buttons

BisMaxx to much thought

FACTS, the similar suspension problems also occur frequently with the C216.

I think if you approach the ABC system like you would an aviation hydraulic system with regards to maintenance intervals you will find that it is very reliable. That being said it is still expensive but the ride is amazing.

Matthew Behr Exactly. I’ve spent a stupid amount of money on ABC, but doing the theorized coil over conversion would completely spoil the character of the car.

It’s funny when people underestimate ABC. You could buy a V12/AMG W220/R230 with an excellent service history and ABC will still kick you in the teeth and run off with your wallet.

How do you maintain the ABC Suspension? Just change the fluids?

don’t forget features

@lord havmercy Have you ever driven a V12? It's not just the numbers. Nothing runs so beautifuly.

idk 60k for a V12 biturbo is a really good deal tbh.

good deal, until it broke again and you spend another 30k, and again, and again, and again...

WAHT A SHITFULL CAR...

Jeffrey Kraus haha great reference!

lkkjhtemmexv shitful? Twin turbo v12, 600 hp...

caddy 16 what's the reference?

W C the A1A is a road in florida that i have driven on many, many times.

I'm sorry but this was not the first car to have active suspension

@@thewiseguy3529 it was the first far with ABC suspension.

I agree, when the ABC works correctly, it REALLY makes a difference in ride and handling. It can be quite expensive to repair if something breaks on it, though. Mine on my SL500 works great after I had to put a new pump in it [low pressure output]. I still have a leaky accumulator on one wheel, but I'll live with it because if I fix it, next weak link will go out! Enjoy her, Markus!!!

@@Opeladams no it wasn't lol ABC (ACTIVE BODY CONTROL) is Mercedes-Benz revised version of what's been around for a long long time. Just like a Ford model T and Ford Fiesta are both cars, but one is obviously better at what it does, yet they both do exactly the same thing. Cadillac had this long ago. So did Rolls and almost everyone else. Even Toyota.

ABC was groundbreaking when it came out..... It's backbreaking now that it's aging.

Wow, never knew that

How many horsepower n torque does this car have?

Pavel Ponamarchuk 604 horsepower and 738 ft-lb of torque from the factory.

So true. My CL55 is a similar experience to yours. Occasional headaches but so worth it when it’s running well.

I love the 55s I've driven a few but the 600s and 65s are next level the v12 is like no other

This is the reason why i only lease german cars... not worth the money

This is why financially smart people don't buy old luxury cars, it's not worth it unless you expect it to gain in value and you just collect them. You really should only be buying the highest end cars when you earn 7 figures annually and can repair them without sweat.

Do the work yourself

Many don't have the facilities, tools, time or knowhow to do all the work themselves.

Scotty kilmer said that Mercedes is the worst luxury car ever

lairdriver AGREED!

Good thing they had 2 first aid kits

Yep! ... 0-60 in 3.8 seconds. (but Doug: "It's not insanely fast like a (Subaru) STI, it just zooms up kind of like a jet". This car absolutely hangs with Lambo's and Porsches.

3.8 secnds is wrong for this car, the 0-62 mph was done in 4.3 seconds, and limited to 155mph. un limited it could go almost 200mph!
