as a Mercedes mechanic I can say: -he‘s heavily overexaggerating on the 30% of actual issues, which are even ones where a Customer has to pay 0$ for a fix, also doesn’t take more than an hour normally (where you do get a vehicle from the dealership) - he picked smaller issues (sometimes also issues due to wear) and exaggerates the outcome of those -lied about some issues (doorhandles breaking off on newer vehicles for example)

Remember, the GLE63 was made in Alabama so of course it's gonna be a turd on four wheels.

I’ve had a 2011 s550 4matic for 5 solid years, currently sitting at 110k miles and I’ve had zero of the issues he bloviated about. Very subjective & anecdotal! Conventional wisdom/knowledge: Do your Carfax history before purchasing any used vehicle, get a warranty if possible & don’t be cheap on maintenance. I’ve had mine serviced, maintained on-time routinely at the dealership I bought it from. I’ve had to do 1 or 2 repairs in all 5 years I’ve had it, which were inescapable based on certain known milestones, nothing extraordinary. It still drives like a dream. An absolute beast of a machine! About to buy a 2020 s560 soon & I’m torn between keeping my 2011 alongside the 2020 in a couple months or trading it in to pay down/towards the new buy. Still looks and drives amazing as it did the 1st day I got it. Definitely still love it and Highly recommend it to anyone… but obviously again do your due diligence prior to buying and keeping up with on-time quality maintenance. Failure to do so, could very well bring these nightmare scenarios he highlighted into fruition for you.

In 24 years, I've had 10 new Mercedes from a CLA to S-Class and GLE63. I am picky so I change the oil at 5K miles and follow the service intervals. I had an airmatic issue about 20 years ago with my S500. That's it.

Got. a 2011 S550 Mercedes Benz with 130k miles from an owner who was falling on hard times. The car was in immaculate condition. Based on the car fax report. I took the vehicle to a Benz mechanic . Had the fluid service , plugs, injectors, brakes and replaced all the suspension bushings. I spent $5768 to do it all. I also bought warrantee for the engine, electrical, and transmission. The car is sweet like bees honey and drives like a luxurious elephant. Benz were built to be taken care of… Take care of your stuff!!! Do the right thing and you’ll be ok. The previous owner is so proud I kept it up. He even drives it sometimes when I go look for him.
