Here's why I Like to Buy Used Cars From Germans - 2014 Mercedes-Benz E 350 Convertible Full Review
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Demonstrating the Active Park Assist on a new companion KZread Channel that will have short clips demonstrating various vehicle features:
• Mercedes-Benz PARKTRON...
The E-Class is almost certainly the easiest Mercedes-Benz to live with - it ranges from pedestrian sedans, to practical wagons, to sleek and stylish coupes, and to luxurious convertibles - not to mention high-horsepower AMG Autobahn burners. There are also commercial vehicles made on the E-Class platform, like police cars, ambulances, taxi cabs, and hearses. For decades, it has been the go to car that gets every angle covered.
While I've done many E-class models over the years, this 2014 with 5K miles seemed a bit special, and also allowed for a clear illustration of why I love buying cars from German residents of Naples. Additionally, it also allowed for the first video of a "features" companion channel to be linked above, something I've been thinking about doing for a while, but only now have gotten around to. Hope you enjoy!
This car is available at Autohaus of Naples, on the web at www.AutohausNaples.com, or by phone at (239) 263-8500.

How many of us here are currently not in the market for another car, but we're addicted to Bill reviews just to hear the comedy and attitude?😁

Not currently in the market either but if i was, i would drive from Detroit to Naples on vacation & demand to buy a car from Bill & nobody else. Im not an elbow rubber just like Bill isn't, but i would love to shake his hand, share a shot of corona virus whiskey & find out more about the guy. What a class act & talent. Instantly a likable fellow. On a crappy day, you can watch one of Bill's reviews & instantly be laughing. My favorite are the Lincoln reviews. Especially the Town Cars. I have a collection of 3 beautiful ones. Best Regards from the Motor City everyone!

Yes sir. Well said.
Bill is pure comedy genius. “German self help book on how to be friendly and cheerful.” Perfect.
I’ll vouch for that…my parents are German and were very strict with proper auto maintenance on their cars. If you drove it one mile over the 3,000 mile oil change interval, it was one week in the cooler. Incidentally, the “E” does stand for Einspritzung….fuel injection.

I'm still betting on a 20 minute video on honor of the 100K subscriber mark. Or maybe he'll do a full out 6 hour review. We'll let the COVID whiskey decide.
I bought a Ski-Doo touring model sled from a German owner way back in 1985, and he had kept it in perfect order. He put a couple of ounces of oil in the cylinder every spring. I took it out and beat the snot out of it.
Bill should be a documentary movie narrator. I would watch every movie!

Hey Bill, aside from your side splitting comedy I was so impressed with your comments and your complete review of the E350cdi that I bought a 2016 version and the car is simply incredible! So a huge thank you from across the pond.
No one takes maintenance and upkeep more seriously than a German.

And here I thought my 2012 W212 with the M278 V8 engine had low miles at 17k. Great video, as always, Bill 🥃
Bill is fun... Must say drive by wire and autonomous drive isn't what customers want as much as it is what insurance corporations want.. love your reviews
I'm laughing my ass off! Bill, you're the greatest!
Good evening Bill from Ron in Manchester England. It is cool and wet here. Sorry the weather is muggy. Fantastic review of a fantastic car.
I drive one of these 2014 E350 Cabriolet and they are wonderful cars. 140,000 miles with no troubles. i open/close the roof 7-8 times a day and still original cylinders. If you find one, grab it. It's a future classic.
OMG: "We will elect people who are for all intents and purposes, deceased." (wink, wink) Best comment ever, Bill!!

Very sad State of Affairs when very good people cannot run for an office if they do not have access to a billion dollars and a campaign
AHHH MY BOY BILL IS ALMOST AT 100k SUBS!!!
I love to hear this guy rambling about cars that I'm never going to buy
Always love the non verbal drive before the very end. Nice touch. Great review Bill! You knock it out everytime. 😎
Fed up with most car videos but Bill is in a different class...😂😂I could listen to him all day. He should come to the UK and critique us - and maybe a car or two! 👍👍
I got a 2014 E350 Sedan for my first car at 24, and it's honestly my favorite model. Its a good balance of modern without being over the top in computer features, and still kind of tradicional. I dont like all the bells and whistles and safety features newer cars have, and I like keeping up with car maintenance in general. Its a beauty and im definitely keeping it as long as possible

I got a 2014 sedan at 23, still have it. Purchased in 2019 with 90ish K. It’s been good but careful of long oil change intervals, do it every 5k instead of ten!
I had a 2012 or 13 E350 for a rental for 2 weeks when my car was being repaired. Really nice car to drive. The park button on the end of shifter lever is a stupid idea. I had the car about 15 minutes and pressed it by accident while in traffic. Lucky I was slowing down at light but transmission made that nasty grinding noise.

Bill is like a fish in fresh water. So natural I want to sign a cheque and discuss financing. SOLD.
Wonderful review, Bill!! I do think this edition of the E-class coupe/cabriolet (with this swoopy facelift) is by far the best looking. Sexy and stunning live in the metal-that rear hip makes me weak in da knees. My cousin Claire has an E450 convertible of this vintage (white with a blue top and cream leather, gorgeous) and drove me back to NYC from our Uncle Donny's memorial in Manahawkin, NJ. Stunning and larger than life, really. I felt like a celebrity lol ;)! As Janice so gloriously sang "Lord won't You buy me a Mercedes Benz...." Amen. :)
I love the e class mercedes. Just the right size. I have an 01 e320. Really solid car. This cabriolet is a beauty Bill.
Your videos Bill are GREAT! Really enjoy your Florida weather reports and the birds, goats and ants I laugh so hard I tear up ! How refreshing and please Bill keep them coming

This generation E class was an absolute high point IMO. I believe it was a match for the W124 in styling and build quality.
Always entertaining!

dude you cant do anything quick and brief but i love it keep it comin lol

Another nice video Bill. I swear one day I just have to buy a car from you. I usually don’t comment on your videos but couldn’t help myself this time - maybe I’ll even elicit a response. I had to chuckle when you hit 90 mph on the hwy. I was just out the other day with my 20 year old W203 C 270 CDI casually cruising at around 190 kph here in Germany. I wonder how many of your viewers would enjoy that?
I come here for Bill, the cars are just the bonus🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm genuinely shocked to see a car from 2014 with an ashtray. I thought those had all gone the way of the dinosaur by the late 2000s.
Ahhh tea time in America. Bill is here to do a review. Another great one Bill.
I think Japanese offers better bang for buck especially when you get around to servicing and parts
Like always great video’s bill 👍🏻🇺🇸
100,000 and counting 📈 congratulations
I’m just here for the weather report... the car review is just a bonus.
For future reference, “real quick” is 37 minutes
Is it true that the Active Park Assist won"t let you park between 2 cars with a combined value of less than $60,000?
This dude is hilarious and informative
Hey Bill if you put the seat belt clips on the back seat they fit nicely in the plastic holder instead of hanging hall way down the seat ! Neat!
...subbed to the new channel Bill.....carry on.......
It was 59° this morning in Panama City! I had to turn on my seat heater on the way to work!
I love your commentary Bill. I watch your videos all the time, love German Cars. One day, will drive down to Fla. from WV to by a MB Roadster from you. I have an 03 SL 55 AMG with 146k.
I don't have time for the car review. I'm here for the weather report. It sucks here in Connecticut, too. In fact, Connecticut sucks.
@4:36 Very interesting detail about the W212 vs A207 platform that I hadn't picked up on in all of the forum discussions I've reviewed.

By the time you get off the Interstate, the guy in that pickup is probably worried about you stalking him. He probably knows he can't escape in that truck. But then, he shouldn't be hogging the left lane while you're showing domination on land, sea and air. ...SUVs...What are you going to do? Buy beautiful coupes and convertibles like this, or the Rivieras, or Lincoln Mark V, VI, VII, VII, whatever, until either there are no more or I am no more.
I can't stop laughing listening to this Man.😂 Beautiful car!
Beautiful interior.
Up front want to give kudos to you Bill know what you are going thru and identify. You did the JJ and seem so fine I'm watching and wishing your health continues. Have studied this set of shots and understand the effects that come down the road. So at this point in my life I'm watching Bill talk about the baby going into the trunk net and thinking 'this is a normal way to spend my Friday night with a bit of gin and tonic' . We had this in a 350clk and it was a nice car but for the damned hydraulic top which I tried to fix myself and fucked it up and it cost thousands to fix.
Pure gold ..
I’m running out of Bill videos to watch and looking forwards to another new one. Fantastic entertainment, ever thought of Hollywood???
Very cool car. Convinced me to look for one here in Germany.
Love your channel! I used to own an 1993 E400 with a 420 engine. Miss it so much. Currently drive a 2014 E550 cabriolet. How different, better, is it? please do a video on it if you get your hands on one. Thks.
