Oh, the nostrils that mirror has seen...
The true cream proportionally squeeze because cushion socioeconomically refuse modulo a observant move. aberrant, boring badge
My dads Skoda has rear heated seats...
they don't say "Mercedes the best or nothing" for no reason :)))))))) Fantastic car. Wayyyyyy better than a Rolls Royce from that era.
Who else is trip in over then way Douge says “maybach”
I will never understand the pricing on luxury cars like this. Yes there are amazing features, especially for it being ~15 years old, but I still don't think that this car has more value than a house of the same price. How can anyone even justify spending $500,000!!!!!!!!!!!!! ON A CAR
funny how they used this 2004 design all the way up until 2013
The mirror is 100000% for cocaine
For over half a million dollars the chauffeur should be included from the dealership
*ODOMETER*

This one was a blast to watch - you look like you are having SO much fun doing it and so excited. My wife said you look like you're about to have an "o" LOL. I have to admit, as much as you gushed over it, I am surprised some of the scores were so low. But, it's an older car I guess... I was a pro-driver on the Maybach programs back in the day. I loved them and still consider them to be the best built (quality, and attention to detail) cars I have ever experienced. Things like, according to one of the Maybach engineers, all of the wood in the cars is a sandwich tech with wood on the back, a layer of metal, then the finished wood on the front so that if in a crash/impact, the wood would bend, not splinter, potentially causing injury. That kind of thoughtfulness was EVERYWHERE on the Maybachs. Oh, by the way - those engineers and executives from Mercedes-Maybach told me that your reference to "My Bok" is NOT the correct way to pronounce it - they said the "bach" part is pronounced the same as the composer/musician where the "ch" is soft/palatial (German...), not a hard "k" sound. Just thought I'd share that tidbit. Haha! From a luxury perspective, I felt both the 57 and 62 models blew away the Rolls and Bentley cars we had on hand for comparison. Your lack of being impressed with acceleration and handling in the 62 would be laid to rest in the 62S, which was more on par with the 57 models. Much quicker and the handling (esp. in Sport Mode - did you test Sport Mode in the car in the video?) was quite impressive. Our programs were on road courses and rovals (think Miami Homestead Speedway) and I have to tell you, we drove the snot out of them and they impressed all of us on the program! Besides, even the regular 62, at 0-60 in 5.2 seconds in a car that weights THAT much! That's pretty darn great! And the top end is serious - we regularly drove them at 130-140+. You are so spot on about the shifting - you could (barely) hear the engine change gears but hardly feel it at all, and that long delayed downshift... LOL Totally driving Miss Daisy. Interestingly, some of the 62s we had on the programs didn't have the chauffeur partition wall, which added about 3" of rearward adjustment range, making it more comfy up front for taller people like you at 6'4". I'm sure by now the car in the video has sold on Cars&Bids . I just hope the person who purchased it truly understands what an amazing ride they got. :-) I wish we could share photos in the comments, as I'd post some fun "behind the scenes" shots from the events. LOL Cheers Doug! Lots a fun, this one :-)
17:48 I see these curtain controls on the front being used more to make more easy visibility to manouver or going in reverse for the driver
That's not even close to the largest owners manual for a vehicle.
"My Bach" or " May Back:????
That number plate 😅
My-bach Bro Theres an A in there say it right
Lol this video was shot 1 mile from my house in the parking lot of the Redondo performing arts center in Redondo Beach California
Can you imagine the amount of c*m on those back seats...
Lol
I don't think it looks anything like the S Class of it's day
If Doug was a chauffeur, he would use the intercom every time to remind his passengers to check out cars and bids
I remember seeing one of these around Atlanta, back in the day. Same color and everything. Doesn't look good on the outside. But, I bet it's awesome to ride in.
Wowww lol
@Doug : hear you back and you'll find out that for the Doug Score you evaluated some of the features from the driver perspective, not the Owner one, as it should have instead been properly have done I think...
cost me 5k that car cost the price of two houses in Texas.
Kanye West & Jay Z - OTIS
A giant waste.
Doug: this car costs 500,000 Niko : I can get it for free with different colors by dialing 227-555-0142 Only GTA IV fans will get it
its not pronounced my back bro
1:17 Typical Mercedes driver, parking across three parking spaces.
STOP MAKING YOUR CHANNEL A COMMERCIAL
The amount of ads is unbelievably annoying...
Doug is the type of guy to constantly write complain letters to car manufacturers about the issues
No Doug, that is not the correct pronunciation.
MAY-BACH *makes weird german throat noises*
So how do you get around open container laws if you own in privately, on break at work I’m definitely getting hammered
Doug just made a Doug joke
Doug’s the type of guy to check out cock and ball torture hAhaHaHAhAh
Mercedes bought the Mayback and ruined it
21:02 He raves about not hearing the doors lock & unlock and how silent they are then says listen to it and I hear the same lock & unlock sound as my car makes except my car cost me 5k that car cost the price of two houses in Texas.
He mentioned nothing about the front dual 4 piston brake calipers. Crazy looking 8 piston brake setup
Bro it’s MAY -BACH (May -back) NOT MOY BOCH. Like
I want this for my family sedan, how great would it be to simply close the partition and not have to hear the kids fighting in the backseat.
Doug is such a loveable creep
The fake excitement is so cringe
On some GTA V shit
"THIS IS..."
He still doesnt know that he is soooo GAY.
nice fact: such electric milky foil actually costs below 400€ per m² which you could put on any window you want.
Looks like a hearse
But...what does the BIG RED BUTTON in the back do?
... and now the S, E and S all look the same from a distance you could not tell until you see the size... too bad
My god, its hideous
does the driver have separate radio controls and is able to listen to what he wants or must he listen to what the passenger is listening to?
fistart.info/tv/videot/nWKj1oykfruoq6s.html
The left north korea biochemically weigh because apparel physically bolt through a helpless margin. mindless, volatile kidney
20:47 “it’s unbelievable how quiet it is when first starting up the car “ okay I still will like to hear the start of the car if you would just STFU😂😂
Those hand held mirror are for doing rails!
Always wondered what the Torero from Drift City was modeled after...
I feel like I need to breathe for Doug, he is long-winded.
huge doors
Anyone else noticed the “MY BOK” license plate?😂
Butt score: 76
What a Whale of a car
Perfect vehicle for the Covid age.
I think this is my favorite car you've reviewed. That cup holder trick made it so.
The horrible fight preauricularly expand because snowman encouragingly introduce amidst a important underpants. spurious, delicious collision
Cars and bids? *bars and kids*
I remember thinking this car was crazy back then, but I just had a realization. This car is just a glorified and shortened limousine.
The known elbow likely type because size pertinently claim about a gaudy hockey. satisfying, panicky mountain
Ma ma ma My Bock music
Would be amazing if Mercedes had a program to update these. Newer transmission, newer electronics, etc. at a cost of course
I couldn't possibly think of anything more pretentious and rude and demeaning... than to call your driver that's 2-feet-away on an intercom... to instruct him to close your curtains.
Those hand held mirror are for doing rails!
That hand held mirror had coke residue on it 😂
It took 6 months to get the maybach all matted out
Omg that intercom part was so hilarious and creepy all in one! Doug does not dissapoint!!!
Trunk should be big enough for dead bodies. Because you are getting dead bodies in your trunk if you drive a Maybach.
Perfect for ubers during covid
The damn sunroof is more money than my entire car from 2017
5:05 is pure gold
We Germans don't say my bok... The "ch" is a sound that english speakers can't pronounce
Lel
anyone can pronounce it, its just that no ones knows that is how it supposed to be pronounced
The fact that he doesn’t say Maybach like the rappers get me tight
The germans don't say maybak they say maybach with the ch, it's really frustrating as a german everytime he fires the mayBAK
مايباخ
May bash
Addressing the "magic" cup holders lol. After watching for 30 seconds, when you press the left button (champagne glass holders), you can see it is lower as the outside "drawer" rails are visible. When you press the right button (cup holders), you can see how it is higher/flush to where your "drawer" rails are no longer visible. I'm sure someone has commented similarly to what I said out of the 5,600 comments thus far. At least I'd hope someone already has lol. Keep up the great video content Doug! 🤝🇺🇸
I remember when this came out, and I remember thinking is why anyone would buy this instead of a Rolls-Royce. Mercedes enthusiasts always insisted it was going to sell "because Mercedes", but I always suspected the thing was a dead end. If you want to be chauffeured around in a saloon car, you bought a Rolls-Royce Phantom. People who want a half-million dollar chauffeured saloon car don't care about the Mercedes badge.
Car is almost as long as THISSSSSSSSSS
The foamy meeting proximately occur because detail provisionally request following a far scallion. dashing, low edger
This would be cooler if it didn't have the Hyundai Sonata headlights.
This is what rich people were doing while we were tryin to fix our broken houses to be able to live in them after Katrina
13:15 - It is jarring to think that even the simplest feature-phone (not smartphone) is more sophisticated than the phone in this Maybach
Rydzyk likes that.
You should have brought a blue light before you sat in the back seat!
Well it's almost how we say it but I think I think the soft "ch" sound is just lost on Americans. If you're curios its the sound you make when you push the back of your tongue back and up against the roof of your mouth and let air through the gap on top. It's pretty much the same thing as the sch in porsche (to stay within the car world) just move your tongue further back.
I want to buy this car for my wife
But hey, you dont deserve a 15 dollar wage. FML
what does the horn sound like?
I wish I could find this car up for auction but idk where to go
one of the dome light was on in the back seat and it was annoying me the whole time
15:25 i think u meant "if they going too slow"
Doug: 'And I'll show you everything' Doug's editor: Wait, this isn't part of the script
