Over $38,000 of verified documented work on the car in one place..

In an enormous 3 ring binder, every page with a plastic page protector.

Like a Giant telephone book, but bigger than one I ever saw.


Beginnning with road test copies and review from US and English magazines, to window sticker showing an MSRP of $84,500, Factory Build Sheet in English, Car faxes , smog tests several Mercedes Benz dealer master inquiry (VMI) printouts, Russian VIN# check abstract, and and every receipt for everything ever done to the car since April 1992, all service and repair records, and all in the pockets, the old car registrations.

Very complete and up to date, today L/O/F, brake fluid flush, and valve guide seals at a crack Los Angeles mechanic. The original service booklet is stamped up to the minute in all places, too. It's in the factory leather booklet with ALL accompanying booklets from new, even the blue and orange hang tags.


Except for the actual 1991 service and warranty claims, (but shown by abstract and translation on the VMI are all there anyway, it is fully documented from the day it was assembled in Germany.


Parallel to it is two little binders with records of the oil changes with date and mileage intervals as a quick reference guide to see all oil changes, and where performed since 1992 to date.

It's a verified Lifetime California car from delivery at Calstar Mercedes Benz on Dec. 23 1990 in Glendale, CA.
