The Roadmaster is my favorite, but I may be a bit biased as my daily driver is a 1992 Buick Roadmaster Limited with the 5.7 Liter V8 with 84,000 miles. I am a retired school teacher so that car will likely provide for my transportation needs for years to come - I often drive my cars to 250,000 miles or more.

I agree with you here. I also have the 1992 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon with the 5.7 Liter V8 and it has over 256k+ miles on it and still has great power and fuel economy on it. Getting parts for it can be tricky, but you can still get them. Example, Heater core is no longer made so auto parts store will not have them. But again, they do and not even know it. Ask for one for a 2003 Compris and you will get it.

I am absolutely in love with the Roadmaster. To me it just seems like the ultimate weekend cruiser/road trip car. Everything inside of me wants to show up to a car show in it.

That is a fair point. I'd seriously consider how frequently I legitimately WANT to take out any of the other cars over one of those two, because sometimes it isn't about what car drives the best, but about what car makes you feel special or gives you that feeling that you want to drive it. Nostalgia is also a very potent thing, and there's just no way to overcome that desire for an escape back to those simpler times or to just recapture the feeling of those times that you felt particularly fulfilled. I suspect I would be very tempted to buy a 2000 Nissan Sentra if I ever drove or rode in one again because it's the car that my mom had for the longest while I was growing up and it's the car we took the majority of our trips in because it was an automatic while my dad's car was a manual and less suited to long road trips. And there's just nothing like the nostalgia of the cars your parents had for a Millennial, since for most of us, that was one of the best times in our lives, back when life was simple and you weren't struck by the agonizing anxiety of making your own way in this capitalist hellscape of a world.

I had a '93 Buick Roadmaster Wagon. It was technically my 1st car, inherited from my parents. What a beast. 350 cub/in V8 with that bulletproof 4-speed automatic and a limited slip diff. It was a musclecar in a fatsuit, damn thing seated 9 people in (relative) comfort if you include the backward-facing "rumble seat" in the cargo area (illegal nowadays in many places). Goddamn I miss that car. Thanks for the memories, Tyler.

As much as I absolutely love the Roadmaster estate, that Mercedes is the ULTIMATE vintage Mercedes. Special history, a sweet build, MANUAL, and could likely never be replicated for any reasonable amount of money. That thing deserves a permanent space next to your Grandma's car.

Even though I am a Buick guy, I would definitely keep the Mercedes. You built it the way you wanted it. It will always be worth more than the wagon, and you have no shortage of project cars for content.

Hoovie, so glad you reclaimed the w126. I remember years ago when you posted for Jalopnik, I commented on a picture of your garage "I spy a w126" and you sent the video of you driving yours with the manual conversion. Well that started me following your youtube channel! As one w126 Merc lover to another I hope you keep this 1-2-6. If not please let me know I want it to sit next to my 420 SEL! :)

100% Hot Rod the Roadmaster!! I’d watch that!! Still gotta respect the clean 4 spd swap, nice work on the documentation too that’s pretty impressive and well put together.

I know from experience that the roadmaster wagon can fit 3 person band equipment with full size drums. My old bandmate's mom had one lol. Fun fact they are rated to tow 7,000 lbs, same as my 98 silverado

I vote both too. Team Mercedes if haaaave to choose but both would be extremely awesome to see in future videos

I'd keep the w126. I sold mine 6-7 years ago and regret it. Was by far the best built car i've ever owned.

My parents had a fully loaded (minus the fake wood) Light Adriatic Blue 1994 Caprice Wagon with towing provisions. We still have the original 4 page window sticker. Options included upgraded brakes, self leveling air suspension, strengthened frame, oil cooler and transmission cooler, heavy duty cooling fan, 2.93:1 limited slip rear end, and the LT1. This is one of the last truly good sounding V8 equipped cars, in my opinion. I used to love listening to our car idle as a kid. Nice and smooth, deep, and subtle, until you floor it. I witnessed our completely stock wagon make 282hp / 330 lb-ft to the rubber on the dyno, back when that was necessary for emissions testing. Needless to say, the LT1's power was definitely more than advertised. These are very underrated vehicles in more than one way. Not much else can seat 9 people while towing 7000 pounds behind it. I will always put this above the Vic/Marauder, even if the Caprice/Impala might seem like the faster, better looking "underdog".

I had a 92 roadmaster with the 5.7, such a lovely car to drive, smooth and comfortable. I traveled everywhere in it and often folded all the seats down, threw a mattress in and took it camping :)

I love the old wagons, but personally I’d keep the Mercedes because you know it, it’s rare, in good condition etc. I would constantly be annoyed at the situation surrounding the purchase of the wagon.

This Mercedes is the reason I am subscribed to Hoovies Garage! I was looking to buy one in my country - Macedonia and had watched every video on youtube on these cars and than stumbled on a 2/3 day old video from our beloved Hoovie with this exact Mercedes. I like the way he spoke and was so passionate about the car I decided to subscribe on 2/3k subscribers and I am still watching and this is my favorite youtube channel! Keep it up Tyler, we appreciate you!

If a return to the past format is in store for the future, I am SO EXCITED for it!!

It was that Mercedes diesel that got me hooked on your channel years ago! I don’t think I’ve missed an episode since. I saw a young guy like myself enamoured with with a classic Mercedes, not afraid to enjoy it and make it your own. That inspired me to buy a 1970 Mercedes w108, exactly like my dad owned when I was growing up. It’s it’s 20 years older than me and I love it.

Absolutely keep the 126 Tyler! It is after all the car that started your KZread channel and the reason I found your channel from day one! I even remember speaking with you about buying your lorinser lo’s when you were selling it. The 126 and the 107 are a pair that should never be separated! I have a similar story with my 300SEL 126 as you do with your 500SL.

Yes! Bring back the hoopties! They hold a special place in my heart. 80s and 90s GM sedans, Crown Vics, Grand Marquis, and the sort. They have so much more character than anything new today. It is still surreal that things I remember (and owned) when they were new are bringing Barrett Jackson money these days.

The Merc is such a fantastic car! Had the pleasure to drive one back in 2007 in the US with automatic transmission.

Having owned 2 W126s and driven a Roadmonster before, I would keep the 300SD. There are plenty more things that could be done to it too, Lorinser or H&R springs, Recaro power seats, Clarion G80 sound system, euro bumpers, 5 speed instead of the 4 speed (or swap in an OM606 if you get tired of it being slow), etc. If you don't want to buy $3k recaros for it, the old style covers fit on the Gen 2 seat bases that have stiffer springs so they aren't so bouncy.

When i was a kid my pops had a 1978 300d 4 spd manual No turbo inline 5cyl...the slowest car ever. My pops towed contruction materials when he build our house. From cinderblocks to cement or whatever else needed.

The W126 was released at a time when I was in my early teens and I remember really being impressed with the 500SEL of a relative, who by the way, had a 450SEL 6.9 before it. Since then I have always had a soft spot for these cars, and oh boy when I saw the 1st generation SEC, I was smitten with it. And I still am. oh well, may be someday. So, 300SD.

Both. They’re just to perfect. The Merc is a time capsule, and the road master, while it needs some work, is amazing.

The Roadmaster was on the B/D platform out of Arlington, Texas. In addition to the Buick that platform included the Cadillac Fleetwood, Chevy Caprice, and the Impala SS. We built out of that platform on 13 December, 1996. Then did a plant refurbishment and started building pickup trucks in March of 1997.

Love the in-video promo - YT not reimbursing content creators. The great early 90s Buick Roadmaster. Many of my first cars were land yachts (think 70s New Yorker, Marquis, Monaco) like those. Although mine had minimal 400ci 4br carbs (think 5mpg downhill). Always looking for a "weekender" to run errands, an inexpensive to purchase and maintain car like the Roadmaster.

I don't have a particular nostalgia for either but tend to lean towards the Merc. As old as each car is at this moment, which one has the best chance of still being around in twice that time? That's not always my criteria, but in this case that's what's appealing to me. Either way, have a blast.

Tyler came over to check out our red 93 300ZX for a minute…we had no idea who he was since he hadn’t blown up on YT yet. For the benefit of the channel, I say keep the Woody and go full-on restomod. Find a good home for the Mercedes and bid it farewell…not much more you can do with it so it seems. The road trips are what this hobby is all about. If you aren’t getting the cars out and using them, you’re doing it wrong, folks!

Why choose? Keep both! At least for now. I haven't seen a wagon build on YT in a LONG time! I say the time is ripe for one!

Keep it up, Hoovie! I love these videos that feature relatable and nostalgic cars. Can watch these on repeat and never tire of your enthusiasm for vehicles that still have a lot of love to give.

ROADMASTER EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK!! We don't have them in Australia! I want one!! ❤️

Roadmaster for sure! A few months back, just finished my road trip around the country! Approx 20k miles in total and it held up fantastic with no issues.

Tough choice! The roadmaster project sounds like a blast and I hope you choose it for my viewing pleasure. If I were to keep one of the two, I'd choose the Mercedes as I'm project averse at this point in my life

Well my personal choice is the Roadmaster as I love wagons but I'm sure you'll keep the Mercedes. Either way the thought you may go back to more normal cars that just cost more would be a welcome return to the channel and would help people know what to expect in this crazy car market.

@@Craig-wp3pz Buick Roadmaster station wagons are fun: - third seats at the back. Kids will have a blast - more space with groceries - couch seats. Very rare to find now that bucket seats are on every new cars Roadmaster is a family car. Mercedes on the other hand is a driver's car. Looks good, great features in the front and it's fast. Don't know how much the maintenance will cost if it rarely breaks down.

Very Nice Car............owned a 96 Caprice 9C1..came from So. Carolina..loved that car,got her rolling 148 MPH,without any problem..beautiful cars,they were.I believe they shut down at 150, ...

definitely glad to see the regular or underappreciated cars again. Keep both

Love that your back into these types of cars - you inspired me to buy an old town car - lovin’ my land yacht, column shifter, couch inspired seats, hood ornament, v8! They don’t make’em like they used to!

I’m so jealous of your roadmaster, man! I’ve been looking for one for years. They are just so fun and practical. That picture you posted with it parked at the drive-ins is exactly what I’ve envisioned doing with my girlfriend. There’s a guy down the road from me who owns TWO of them. Both the same color. White. And I asked him if he was willing to part ways with one and he refused, stating one was his and one was his wife’s. Not sure what the logic was behind that, but, regardless. I drive a JK wrangler nowadays after cruising down the freeways in an old crown vic police car for years. It’s kinda funny how much I miss those boats. Behemoths on wheels that were just so comfortable and fun to drive on a straight line. I hope you keep that roadmaster, for my sake. I would love to see a hot-rodded estate wagon.

Reminds me of my Dads 1975ish FORD LTD station wagon yellowish with wood trim ans brown leather interior with the split rear seats facing each other. Think it was the first 10 SEATER!! Love the channel sir! ❤️🇨🇦

If you HAD to only keep one, I'd go with the Mercedes. I imagine you spent many many hours getting it just the way you wanted. Something about those old Mercedes. I will saw though, that Buick Roadmaster is awesome!

I've owned 2 Buick roadmaster wagons, a 93 TBI and my current one a 96 LT1 collector's edition with the tow package. People can't believe how quick that huge, heavy grandma looking car is, and most young people don't even know what it is. I have plans to put a 5 or 6 speed manual transmission behind that LT1, I just need to find the parts, and the time lol.

It really is a neat car. I bet it rides very smooth. does it?

I have a soft spot in my heart for those wagons. I think that you should go one of two ways with it. A) Damn the cost, make it what you would have made your first one. B) Fix the cosmetics and turbo the engine, build the trans/diff/suspension to handle the power and make it a true sleeper.

I bought a 1993 roadmaster because I just can't stand the steering wheel in the later ones, and I like having all the gauges. But yea, keep the mercedes

I had a custom 91 Caprice, with an Impala SS front, cowl hood from a 69 Camaro, rear roll pan, deep Amethyst pearl paint, nice aluminum 5 spokes, grey interior, nice window tint. I put in a 350, and lowered the front just a touch. I cannot express how much I miss that car, for its coolness, and UTILITY. The later versions with the LT1 (I had a 95 SS, also) was the perfect starting pint for an awesome all around car. I’d do the Buick.

If it was me, the Merc. If I was you, the Roadmaster: as you say, you’ll get more content out of it.

Everything about the Mercedes is amazing, I am a huge diesel person and I have never really seen anything like the Mercedes since we don't have too many in the states. Although I am a truck person I would 100% consider buying something like the merc here. That color is phenominal, you have the luxuries of a mercedes, its a manual, and the diesel?? can it get any better than that????

I spent three years paying for college through working as a Mercedes sales person, not only selling, but delivering them from 1965-1968, and I have never forgotten the joy of driving whatever Mercedes I had to deliver, including the lowly 190Ds. Many years later, we bought a used 190D and after putting 208,000 more miles on it, began to worry about major repairs. I regret selling it to this day! My advice: Keep the Mercedes. The Buick was a fine automobile in its' day, but there's just no comparison between the two. Just count yourself fortunate that you have one of the last of the really great Mercedes chassis.

I love seeing these videos and living vicariously thru you sir! I'd keep the Roadmaster, but I am biased because I love the GM B body...and our 94 Fleetwood LT1 is getting rebuilt.

Keep the Mercedes. It is just such a beautiful car, it deserves to be in your collection.

Hoovie, I have just recently started watching your channel after watching the Wizard for several months. In the short time I've watched you, I have discovered one thing about you: You have a tendency to throw money at a car, sometimes, without thinking. (The Subaru, the Superbird) Keep 'em both! Build that Buick up the way you wanted it. She's practically the last of her kind!

Ever since I sold my 94 Z28 LT1 I've missed that powertrain tremendously. I want one of those Roadmasters so much 😅 The Comfort, the reliability, the space, and power? What's not to love? That being said, I think you'd be happier to keep the Mercedes. If it were me personally, it'd be difficult with my love for those diesels but I think I'd still choose the Buick for myself.

Hoovie, not to be overly dramatic, but channels like this are PART of the reason that car prices have ballooned. Before finding your channel, I never really thought about buying old cars to fix up. But you have opened my eyes, and my mind, to the possibilities. I figure I'm not the only one

Hands down, I'd keep the Buick. Had a 1970 Buick Estate Wagon with the 455 engine. It had a neck-snapping acceleration. Won a few stoplight drag-races against many so-called "sports cars". Great times. Sold it when it was 15 years old. To this day, that was one of my life's greatest regrets.

You can't beat the comfort and ride quality of many older vehicles. Now a days it seems everything has to have stiff suspension, crappy stiff cheap seats and low profile wheels. Not just that the gizmos I don't want or need. I can drive myself perfectly fine, I can parallel park, I don't need navigation, I don't need automatic stopping either. Get rid of the junk car makers and you will have a winner. Just make it comfortable and reliable. That's it.

@@discgolfdetails9889 Agreed, tired of harsh shitty riding vehicles with uncomfortable seats and a bunch electronic crap I'll never use. Bring back soft suspensions, big comfy bench seats, and tires with beefy sidewalls. No automaker today has one available, so there's definitely a market for it.

As a rather OCD car guy... I was BRICKED up when Hoovie was going through that Mercedes documentation 🥺 unrealll 😩

I love the Roadmaster! Solid vehicle. Matter of fact, Hoovie woody shirt. And the wagon please.
