I dont think you can do that on the MB's. You can on some of the American units.

Talking strange vin

i am looking for information on a pre-83 VIN that neither the dealer nor the sec. of state can find any information on. according to everyone we've talked to, there is no record of this car anywhere.

can you suggest someplace to look or would you be willing to take a look-see at it here and see if you cant recognise it from someplace?

thank you!
~anna.

Did you try the website listed in Robert's post above? Put a WDB prefix ahead of the VIN you have to make 17 characters.

i tried that and it did not yeild any results- i have identified parts of the vin, but only the first few numbers- this car seems to be a mystery. i am hesitant to post the vin online or to pm it about, due to the fact that i have no idea who will have acess to it and what sort of damage could be done with that information.

cheers!

I input my 1980 300SD, WDB11612012018426, and I get a list of options.
I input my 1978 450SEL, WDB11603312087719, and I get an error.

It doesn't work for anything older than 1981.
