I bought (paid deposit) the car on CL for $250. Tranny is toast and so is body/int but the engine is a fairly low mileage swap and hey maybe it has some decent axles . The car is in Macon about an hour south and I have yet to see it. Owner seems pretty legit, college kid who is responsive to the emails. Hoping to tow it home.

My boss got a carfax for the year so I am gonna have him run the VIN and see whats in it. Interesting that the EPC says bad model.

Anyone got something else I can plug into "A6CB"

Your VIN format is correct, I've successfully put similar VINs into it that have worked. Example: WDBAB33A8CB015342

MB probably just "lost" that particular one from their records.
