Imagine buying a 150,000 dollar Mercedes and having Scotty roast it royally 🤣🤣

I am a technologist, with 35 years experience in the semiconductor industry. I am appalled by the overuse and misuse of electronics in the new cars.

I find it genuinely, deeply satisfying to hear Scotty sooooo giddy about how terrible this guy’s car is 😂😂

It is a misnomer the call this Mercedes a "car". It is actually a very complex digital communications network with 4 wheels and an engine. Absolute insanity.

$150,000 and they can't keep the windshield fluid inside the reservoir 🤣🤣🤣

Scotty's laughing so hard,he's running outta breath

Just realized why Merc owners don't signal: it's because they are rushing back to the dealer.. Lol

You forgot to mention the cost of an oil change on those ! When I owned mine 7 years ago, the dealership said.. it's time to change the brake fluid...$2500 !!! I traded it in and bought a F350.

Bold statement here, but this may be Scotty's most animated video ever.

"Yeah, we fixed it. We just forgot to clear the codes."

I love my 1975 Mercedes 240 D with manual transmission and crank windows and Becker Europa AM/FM radio. The 240 D, in its glorious simplicity, is the very antithesis of the electronic nightmare in this video. What a colossal bore. I don’t know why people fall for this stuff. Not me ever.

A car should be just a car. Turn on the engine and drive. Manufacturers overload and overbuild technologies into a car and everything is computerized. Sad for people who dump 150k for a bad quality car.

Cost cutting on a $150k car. These cars look good at a quick glance on a cloudy day, but look closely under the hood and poke around the interior and you’ll find some cheap parts. I had a German instructor who wouldn’t drive late model German cars for the same reason. But he and his wife loved Toyotas.

For some reason I think Scotty is really enjoying this!! 😀

This makes me appreciate my 98 Camry

If laughter is the best medicine, Scotty will live to 100. Car makers, much like politicians always give us comic relief 😆

Had my 14 year old second hand ls460 for 3 years, only changed oil, everything still works, 0 issues so far.

If I spent house money on a car I would expect to be able to live in that thing for at least 10 years without major/a lot of minor issues.

I love how the germans are so smug about emissions and quality, but no one wants the junk after 5-10 years

I studied as a mechanic with VAG group. The most important thing i learned is that german cars are shiny scrap iron ready to be dumped. It was good school since cars were breaking down all the time and it ment something positive for my practice

I owned a 1976 S class. Beautiful car. My wife owned a 1976 E class. Beautiful car. Years later we bought an '02 C class. It was the last Mercedes I'll ever own. Terrible car. Mercedes is not what it used to be.

It was in the early 60's and the family went looking for a new car. I was 7 years old and at a Chevy dealer I saw a beautiful red station wagon with power windows. Power Windows!! Wow! I told may dad and he said power windows were just "one more thing to go wrong". Today, his words still ring true with all the useless gizmos, bells and whistles on cars that are guaranteed to be "one more thing to go wrong".

My grandfather (RIP) was a car mechanic for over 40 years and drove Mercedes for 20+ years straight. He would been ashamed of the company he supported for a long time and the missmanagment in products of a once luxuary level brand. He took well care of his Mercedes cars and they where always in top condition and he always made a good deal selling them when trading up to a newer model (not that he to my knowledge ever had the current year model or so).

It’s funny but it’s sad. I’m 44 so I’m not that old, and I remember when a Mercedes was engineered with the precision of a Swiss timepiece and built like a Sherman tank. If anything broke it was due to lack of maintenance or someone didn’t know what they were doing. An S-Class in 1985 was about $60,000, which is equivalent to the $150k this pile of ugly plastic junk cost today. Mercedes has truly lost their way and they deserve to go bankrupt. They build nothing but Chevys today, but still try to defend this junk as if they’re still the hallowed Mercedes-Benz of the 80s Don’t be fooled folks.

The movie 'Deliverance' and Dueling Banjos come to mind for the assemblers of this Mercedes.

I’ve leased a Mercedes GLC and recently a GLE, similar to this example but it was a GLE 450 SUV not this flawed, ugly coupè thing. The GLC was faultless, a lot of plastics dotted around but in terms of build-quality and reliability over the 3 years it was fine and I was satisfied. The GLE has been a nightmare from day 1, I’ve had 28 different issues, the major 1 that I’ll mention for this was that it cut the engine and went into a ‘coasting mode’ down the highway by design but then it refused to restart and the car came to a halt in the middle of the highway, I ate the dealership alive and they told me that I could return the GLE and choose another 1 or something else, I went back to a GLC, the cheaper model…and it is currently sitting in the garage trouble free months later…I’ve watched Scotty for some time and his qualms about where the car is manufactured and never took much notice but now I fully understand after I found out like in this video that the GLE is made in Alabama and the GLC I had was made in Bremen Germany…to quote a meme, coincidence? I THINK NOT! Thank you Scotty for exposing this!

Wow, the combinations of things that can go wrong in that car are nearly infinite.

I am in the market for a new SUV, after driving Lexus GX and LX body-on-frame vehicles since 2003, and thought maybe its time to change things up, as Lexus design has gotten a bite stale and their front fascia ugly. I drive 30-35K miles annually, and none of the Lexus I purchased ever gave me a problem, except one Lexus air suspension sensor had to be replaced under warranty, in the past 18 years of driving. Put oil and gas in them, perform routine maintenance and they keep rolling. I stopped by a local Mercedes dealership to check out the GLS 450 (I really would be interested in a diesel but they no longer sell them in the USA), and after speaking with the salesman, he explained to me, that while the Lexus is a very reliable vehicle, it does not have near the technological advances and Luxury that the Mercedes has, and while so long as you change the oil and fill the gas tank, the Lexus will keep running without problem for hundreds of thousands of miles, you must accept that your Mercedes GLS will require more frequent visits to the service and repair shop, that is the cost of all the technology. I can not afford, or perhaps more accurately do not want the headaches that come with a frequently malfunctioning vehicle, so I am weary of purchasing the GLS. Plus it is not body on frame, which indicates that as it ages, it will not hold up structurally as well. I tend to keep my vehicles at least 5 years and put high mileage on them, so where to go. I stopped by the Genesis dealer to look at their new GV 80, and yes it was a nice vehicle, but a cross-over, not a body-on-frame either (really a AWD station wagon). When discussing reliability and dependability with the dealer, he in a very serious and proud moment, told me that Genesis vehicles are very reliable, a few even have lasted 100k miles, to which I informed him that is 2.5-3 years driving for me, Lexus are good for 350-500K routinely. The new BMW X-7 is filled with so much technology, it overwhelms an 60+ yo driver like me, stuff that I would never use or need, and why is every manufacturer employing different methods of shifting their vehicles, no universal devices like a column shifter or center console shifter. Who wants to have to re-learn how to shift your vehicle. Mercedes has a toggle device on the steering wheel, BMW X-7 a knob that you push forward to go reverse, and pull backward to go forward, which is counter-intuitive. I rented an X-7 for a week to check it out, and while driving on a I-87, I began to experience vibrations emminating from the steering wheel, as if mechanically something was malfunctioning, or the vehicle was terribly out of alignment, very uncomfortable to drive the vehicle. After a few minutes of this, with my spouse in the passenger's seat, I noticed on the dashboard, an alert that I was exceeding the posted speed limit by 4 MPH, and upon dropping below the Highway speed limit the vibrations ceased. Now if you drive the speed limit on i-87 you might just have a tractor-trailer run you over. My wife got the manual out, but could not figure out how to find information explaining how to turn this alert feature off, so I had to ride with these uncomfortable vibrations until I could exit and find a spot to safely pull over and try to figure this crazy thing out, and little in the BMW is intuitive. I got the feel with the BMW, that if I ever took it off-Road, not serious off-roading, just rough gravel and some pot holes, it might fall apart. It is not a body-on-frame either, just a very large cross-over vehicle. Also it did not handle the snow nearly as well as did every one of my Lexus vehicles, perhaps the tires are rated more for performance than all season, perhaps I neglected to change the driving setting, as some new vehicles can be adjusted to deliver traction in the snow, but I never had to do that in my Lexus. Maybe I should check out the Bentley (LOL). Leaning towards a Lexus again, because I do not want to sacrifice dependability and reliability for the latest and greatest technology, that I have managed to survive without for 60+ years. Safety and accident avoidance technological advances are greatly appreciated, but I do not and will not ever use autonomous driving, or parking assist, a light show in the interior of the vehicle, a sensor informing me that I am speeding, etc.. never.

This is why I have a 2005 mercedes, I can fix most of it myself & a £10 Bluetooth plug in works great with it.

Scotty tells it like it is. I don't envy people that own new Mercedes.

I drove MB for 31 years. It made me the mechanic I am today. My last one I drove around with 40 to 50 lbs of tools in the trunk and I USED them all the time. I now have gotten wiser. I own a Camry and a Tacoma. I don't even carry a screwdriver or a pair of pliers in the car. Toyotas are in my opinion (Lexus too ) about as good a vehicle as you can own. My camry has 51k miles on it , 8 years old and STILL has the original tires on it. No more overpriced mb for me. They don't compare to Toyota.

This must be one of the videos Scotty enjoyed making...he seems so happy

Yup Scotty kilmer, you just reaffirmed my convictions about those "fancy" cars. I'll stick with my 2012 Honda Accord 67,000 miles and 2003 Toyota 4runner 168,000 miles (purchased new) both zero problem vehicles. Love your channel keep throwing the truth and shining the light.

I can imagine how this car owner feels, after watching your assessment of his car. 😣

Wow, Scotty is super excited today. I don’t think I’ve ever heard his voice pitch that high.

Fuel pump just went out on my C320. Replaced it. Didn’t tighten the gasket tight enough and my car was dripping gasoline but love your videos keep up the great work.

My favorite subject from the man himself! Of all my videos I made one like this and got so much hate from folks waiting for their bad leases to end! Long live SK!

This is one of the few times we have seen Scotty so happy. It almost makes me want to let him rip my Fiat apart as well

People get "defensive" when I've told them that newer MB's, BMW's, & Audi's are over-priced techno JUNK. I will take a restored MB W140 over this techy crap any day...

A coworker bought a new Mercedes SUV some years ago. I was never so sick of hearing about a car in my life. Well...Time marched on, the warranty expired, and he had to pay for repairs. Then it went from quality German engineering to 'That F**KING Mercedes. I should have bought the Hyundai!!'

Wow what a heap. People can keep piles of junk like this all for themselves. Cause the owners look so cool when these are on flatbeds more than driving.

Happyiest face for scotty while he's roasting the benz 😂😂

Completely killed this car and in front of the owner. Gotta love Scotty. The only thing that would have made this video perfect was Scotty tossing all of the beauty covers onto the driveway.

This is the reason why I quit my position as a Mercedes Benz technician. Quality down the drain.

He needs to sell that money pit ASAP to another young man with lots of $s that needs to impress people.

The dash looks like something a gamer kid could have designed - lots of bells and whistles and blinking lights.

Did you ever see Scotty this happy? Mercedes is one of his favorite companies to criticize.

Scotty! I got rid of my 2008 C300 today!😀. Getting a 2015 Civic on Friday. Mercedes never again

Beautiful interior. But such a scary thing of what’s really behind the story, of endless money pits. I never own one, but I’m sure he’ll I’m not planning to own it. Toyota/Scion/Lexus and are still my top choice

Shoutout from Tuscaloosa,Alabama!!! I stay near the plant and I hear the quality control ain’t it there 😂😂

I think this is the first time I've seen Scotty's authentic, spontaneous, straight-from-the-gut laugh. When I saw "implausible signal" on the scanner, so did I. "Implausible signal" means, "Me no versteh."

Guess the MB dealer just can't wait for the warranty to expire on this one, Poor guy, and like always Scotty is right.

that just goes to show how much money can be wasted .

DUDE IS LIKE 👁👄👁 SITTING NEXT TO SCOTTY HEARING HIS CAR GETTING ROASTED.

5:25 is the best "its one of those start stop systems, THE THINGS BROKEN DOWN ALREADY"

As a Mercedes owner (Alabama built sadly), I can attest that the burmester speaker rattle is outrageously annoying. I spent like 6 dealer trips to fix it. And this was for the so-called premium sound system. General creaks and rattles were a pain to fix too. There’s still a rear axel squeak that happens randomly and an odd issue where the trunk opens randomly when parked. Would I get it again? Probably since they honored their CPO warranty and I got it at a bargain price compared to new, but just know what you’re getting into especially with Alabama built models. When they work right, they’re beautiful cars but Scotty’s right, they’re really not meant to be used any more than 5 years. Mines at 5 years now and I’m looking to unload it on someone else lol.

That Mercedes has more electrical gremlins than any GM throughout its entire life 🤣 and the speakers are already blown 😂🤣

I love your videos, Scotty. I have a 63 plate Kia Venga with 35k miles on the clock it's still going strong. After 7 years I have changed the engine oil myself automatic transmission fluid spark plugs brake fluid and It still works well. I don't have fog headlights or cruise control only electric windows and manual ac however I am happy that it is not breaking all the time.

1964 my house. 4 bedrooms. 1 acre 3 bath. 2 car garage. Playroom with built in bar. Cedar closets. Upgraded three quarter inch sheetrock. Split level. Oak flooring. Dining room. And more. Price. $24,900

This is a top tier video from Scotty. I was laughing all along 😂.

Bet he says endless money pit 😂

Looking at expensive cars with abhorrent quality like this makes me love my 2019 RAV4 even more lol

I've had a 20 year old e320 sport (AMG) for 4 years now with 153k miles. Runs like a top but gets lousy fuel mileage. My independent Mercedes mechanic told me to never buy one newer than 08 because of all the electronic stuff they put on them. I had to replace a broken door handle inner part a few weeks ago. The part cost about $8 from the dealer and I installed it myself. I had heard the Germans were very unhappy with the quality of workmanship on their cars here in the US. I think I'll keep it because it drives great.

this is straight comedy, haven't seen scotty have this much fun before

People think they are the envy of the neighborhood when they have these. However, just know that people are laughing at you because you spent over 100k for an absolute crap car.

God that interior is enough to keep me away from Mercedes as a whole.

In 3 years it’s probably going to be sold at an auction for $35k and with only 68k miles on the dash because nobody else will be willing to touch it still with the engine light on and the dash lit up like a Christmas tree.😂😂

Want to thank you for sharing your knowledge Scotty. Going to miss your entertaining way impart with your knowledge.

This is why everyone I know who drives a Benz leases theirs.

This is what happens when you buy a product just for its name.

Last time I owned a German car, it was an old 1965 Volkswagen. I’m glad I bought a 2020 4Runner.

Hey Scotty, Maybe you should start listing the most long term diagnostics friendly cars! For a whole new generation. Won't hurt.

Car reviewers: look how cool this car is and all its quirks and features Me: is the powertrain and electronics reliable? Car reviewers: 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗

Its absurd how many codes this Mercedes has with such a low mileage. I own a Mercedes ML w164 built in 2008 in USA, have tried to reach you Scotty (with no success) to show that even though it is more than 10 years old it runs like new with not a single fault in all control units (which for sure there are many).

I bought a Mercedes SUV four years ago. And I am still very happy with it. But in the beginning I had to special order it from Germany to not have all the high tech electronics installed. And I don't let the dealer mechanics touch it. I found a Mercedes certified independent mechanic to do the routine servicing. He has been in the Mercedes business for over forty years now. No problems so far.

This is the most hilarious video yet! I worked in a MB dealership in the early '90s & even then w/the early computer & much simpler tech., the mechanics were stumped more often than not. Factory support was lacking & it was a nightmare to explain to the customer why we couldn't fix their car after they had paid 100s of thousands & their cars were broken. The service mgr. said " they just build them & ship them out & it's up to us to solve the issues". Looks like things have gotten worse.

Scott’s craziness at its finest!!

It’s good to know that rich people get screwed too 😂

Best vid so far! Kudos!

Most of what they do in Alabama is assembly. The parts are still made in Germany. They've had these problems for years.

It's funny how Scotty usually has time leftover to answer a few emails but just going over all the problems on this one Mercedes took up the whole video0

just get a lexus and run it to a million miles

Scotty at 7:30, "Now, I can go on and on and on." Scotty at 7:32: *Goes on and on and on*

Scotty went HAM on this on! ....But all facts!..yeah he said it! and it had to be said. great video 💪🏽

This is both sad and funny at the same time!

I was expecting the badge under the hood of the Mercedes to say hand crafted by Cleatus.

The car with manual transmission is a true treasure. And reliable, too.

I was at MB dealership today to change the tyres/wheels to winter ones. Checked out new C-Class. That interior cracking is still present.

Scotty just cannot hold himself to laugh at Mercedes, 😆 lol

For that much money there should be a little German engineer living in your trunk for the first 4 years to fix all of the problems.

I can't speak for all Mercedes, but I've owned my 2006 Mercedes SLK350 for almost 13 years, and loving it. It drives and handles like the day I bought it. It has so many features and runs like the wind. I blow past people with ease. Yes, I have to spend $1000 every year for maintenance for different things, but that's a cheap fix for what I get. My car was made in Germany. I've owned it so long, that I have been looking for a 'better' car just for a change, but after 4 years of looking, I still can't find anything better for me. And yes, I get compliments pretty much every month with people thinking I have a new car or "nice ride". Gonna be hard to beat.

What people DO NOT UNDERSTAND is any malfunctioning device that is safety related or can be reasoned as being a danger in the future can be used to JUNK your car. With so many devices that are safety related and render the car dangerous (lane keeping assist, reversing sensors, camera's, radar etc) keeping them on the road will be next to impossible (financially and legally). Currently as much as a ABS light malfunction can be grounds to defect a car in inspection. Fixing the ABS system is not only expensive but impossible if parts are no longer available. With manufacturers having closed aftermarket manufacturers on safety grounds, they have monopoly on essential items which they are currently discontinuing even before the last car is past warranty. They want to reduce the life cycle and "push" encourage newer product purchases (profit).

So this is why even the rich neighborhoods in my area are full of Toyotas and Hondas with the few expensive vehicles being pickup trucks or Lexuses

Other than than the screws on the grill I'm not sure how many of these issues have have anything to do with the American workers who built the car. Garbage in garbage out.

I'll take a 10 year Toyota over this money pit. I can't imagine the cost of a simple repair.

@5:23 Scotty is like a little kid in a playground during recess. Loves to make fun of Mercedes Benz!

I think buying a 1966 Dodge Dart new, keeping it and maintaining it would be a LOT more safe for the environment than buying a new car every 5 to 10 years.

General electric fault made me spit my coffee out..

Yes! Love these videos!
