You could run the full VIN (I don't think you posted the complete VIN) through the Russian MB site, should give you lots of good info.

Russian web site

Turn down the caps, it's hard to read.

Edit: Damn, ForcedInduction beat me to it and even ran the numbers for you I'm not smart enough to know what was missing from the VIN.

He was just missing the "WDB"

Yeah, that was easy to figure out once you posted it

I need a few more notches in my belt before I know the first 3 letters of MB VINs (unless they always start with WDB).
