I've been owning a 300 SEL for 24 years and it has now 407.000 kms which is about 253.000 miles. It's so easy to maintain and it works like a charm ! I would never get rid of it. I love it too much ! It's pretty, it's aging very well, and it's very reliable.

Only the old ones like the W126 are genuinely reliable. The new ones like these have mediocre reliability.

The new ones are only reliable when you strip out all of the electronics. But that's heresy in the MB world.

Thanks Jay, for doing what you do on TV and for automobiles. I am 61 years old and never had the money to build any of my ideas in real life. As a kid I built literally thousands of car models and motorcycles. Still a NASCAR fan and Autos in general and have raced motorcycles way back for about 10 years. I think you are the best ambassador of the auto industry there has ever been. Thanks and keep up the great work on both ends! Mike Fifer Fifer Hobby Supply

The Mercedes SL is probably one of the best sports cars ever built!

Im watching this precisely because the depreciation fairy has put them into reach even to a knuckle dragger like me!

Would love to just walk around that garage and listen to you talk about your cars. And drool a puddle around each one of course. So passionate and it shows! Love the videos you do!!!

I worked at a Mercedes dealership body shop until 08 and I loved getting to drive the sporty models. Especially long distance deliveries

God Bless Those who share....and God Bless Mr. Jay Leno...!! Never commented so much in my hole life, but this Show is addictive....thx again and brgds c;`)

jay: Really enjoy your commentary, even about cars I don't really like. Enjoy hearing your comments (or whoever writes for your videos). Great stuff.

jay puts up new videos every week. The two aussies make us wait months. Jay gets my vote!

Absolutely appreciate the time put into putting these videos out! Love your stuff, Jay! keep up the work you'll be big one day! :p

Nice job Jay keep the vids coming!

Love the Fact that Jay is putting a lot more content on KZread for us. And his '69 6.3 Mercedes he plans on stuffing a newer AMG motor in it to see how it goes. Can't wait for that!

love your sense of humor jay

Keep up the "will it do a burnout Jay!" Its key to making your videos totally awesome!!!

who would think some one so rich would be so down to earth and just loves to drive cars and do burn outs. love this show

I have always loved the SL.

Jay, I love that you just went wild with the car instead of babying it.

Thanks Jay, great video as usual, keeo them coming. Recently bought a renault, thought french cars were really bad, but I was pleasantly surprised. Do you have a renault section in your garage?

This was a great overview by a great car guy on a magnificent car...I just love the lines on this model...and while the SL65 may be more powerful, this one has more than enough oomph, and has that great exhaust note that sounds like you are at Darlington...I believe I have talked myself into getting one...

@markm0000

The v12 is a terrible engine. It produces peak HP and Torque at a very specific rpm. It has no low end and hates revving. The AMG built v8 in this sl63 is the best engine on the face of the planet. Shame it's covered by jankey sensors and overcooked electronics, especially that shitty transmission.

That exhaust note!

Awesome sound

I've just been blessed to buy a used 2013 SL550. It has 17K miles on it and I'm IN LOVE! It's thirsty on the gas, especially the way I drive it. But it's a true dream for an old dude (60) like me!

I bought a 2015 CLA 45 AMG a few months ago and absolutely love it. Drives and handles great and sport mode just about throws you into the back seat. It's a turbo charged 4 cylinder with 355 HP and 0-60 in about 4.2 seconds. When it came out it was the most powerful 4 cylinder production model in the world. Hand assembled and signed engine. Gets 33+ mpg on the hwy!

On my bucket list.

My dream car

I have a 2009 SL550. Fabulous car. Wish it were the SL63, but I can't complain. Looking to get an AMG exhaust upgrade soon!

I love your videos and tonight show .... You are awesome!!

My favorite generation of SL

Yeah Jay. It really holds its value. I found several low milage ones for 1/2 the price of a new one in 2009

Its a beautiful yacht!

Omg that sound soooooo good

the sound

That's the one, I'm glad someone else on here knows there facts!

amazing

That exhaust! My god it sounded good

great video Jay and thanks for the burn-out:))

Brilliant! Thank you Sir :)

Finally a Benz! The king of cars

lmao i loved that "burnout"

I wish Jay would still soon cars in his newer videos

Awesome Car

When he said you can fit small children in the back I laughed so hard 😂

this styling was the best they've done in recent times everything onwards just looks tame especially the 2014 model year sigh...but I love the 2015 interior if i could i would get a 2011 sl63 with a 2015 sl interior :D

Yes I completely agree

I was lucky to get a low mile '11 SL550 two years ago, very big achievement for me.

Some of the info is a little incorrect. But I love Jay and his show. I'm surprised it hasn't been updated.

Jay understands style. Unless other presenters in convertibles, he keeps roof, windows and windschott down at all speeds making for a superb look.

Jay you are my hero

Jay do you have tours of your collection. I have been to alot of famous collections in L.A. and I would like to see yours . If you do how do I find your schedule. Thanks

The envy I have is such a lovely colour of green!

That my friend is a whole shot AKA burn out! Nice car.

I agree with Jay, not really my kinda car however the sound of that NA V8 is intoxicating. When you put your foot down its instant go time and it always makes you smile. Maybe in a few years I can get a used C63.

I still giggle like Tom Hulce in "Amadeus" every time I put the top down on my SLK.

Amazing car!!!!!!

Jay Leno is what's up

gotta love that model 156 amg v8 sounds like a german god. and god that sl looks great i love this model

Things that go vroom...

PURE KLASS!!!

Yes, great car! A few year's ago I took a friend to a Mecedes dealer and saw one of these used 2011 models on the lot. It was Storm Red Metallic with a beige top, though not an AMG. She didn't buy anything, but I have the car I saw that day in my garage.

beauty

it's not comparable at all. both are very good channel. peace :)

I like the GoPro. those are nice!

"the car sense that i was doing something stupid" best

At approximately 17 seconds cliff claven can be seen delivering mail haha

I think Leno's got the most extensive & unique car collection in the world.

Burnout? that's a doughnut! Great job Jay!

Jay Leno is so right this car will be a collectible years from now, sure it's going to depreciate first but, 40 or 50 years from now you probably will not be able to buy one for what it cost at the moment. look at the 300 Original Gullwing.

i agree, but i didnt comment on every episode because i simply havent watched them all. obviously theres going to be a good episode or two

Simply the best. Mercedes Benz.

mailman in the opening burnout didn't even stop and look haha

Awesome... I used to have a SL500, got totaled (not my fault, southern drivers).... long story. So, I upgraded to the 2006 SL55 AMG and absolutely love it. A beast... and the looks I get... Priceless.

i work for benz and u should drive the 65! wat a beasttttttt

Exactly, it has a wet multi plate clutch instead of the torque converter. Behind that is like a normal automatic with planetary gears.

U mean donuts jay ! Awesome car !

Very cool'

I agree manual transmissions are way more fun to drive. Also more control

00:16 haha mailman's like 'yawn, just Leno again'.

i have a 2 passenger mercedes sport coupe with a lot of the same features, it's a smart :)

Watch back this old video, Jay actually predicted the SL65 Black series

nice car !

using roll bar to activate wind scott will be 80% eficient. to use correctly do not open roll bar, just adjust manually.

These are his old videos from his website. His new videos are uploaded on Mondays and they are HD.

please do a video of the original 6.3

8:06 80k miles is ~130000 KMs! I used to sell my cars when they reached 65000 KMs! :))

cool

sorry to correct you jay but the amg speedshift mct is no double clutch gearbox. it's rather an automatic gearbox without the torque converter (it uses a wet clutch to launch the car).

Totally agree about the weight, I have both the 03 SL55 and 10 SL63 and wished they had made the hood, roof and trunk lid out of carbon fibre... But then if they had done that it would have only been affordable to the Jay Leno's of the world... lol

Jay you should look in to Mitsubishi 3000gt vr4 spyder twin turbo also . that was the first modern car to have retractable hardtop like this SL63.

Best car channel actually is drive

He made a lot of the videos for his own website before full HD was possible on youtube. The new videos he makes is full HD tho. He mixes old and new on his this channel. =)
