Point well made, taken and accepted.

At least the puzzle is solved.
Thanks,

I poke around on used car from my MB dealer and found good price on 06 S-class(I thought)

On the trunk is S500 but from Russian VIN WDBNG70J86A478901 yield different description.
I got S430 instead, other thing seems to match . Should I trust my dealer that I bought brand new 04-C230K four years ago.
What do you think about this one or W220 and M113 anyway?

Mine says Japan too. I assumed that all left hand drive models were referred to that way.

Except that Japanese cars are right hand drive.

I'm clueless.

I get the same result for my 123 but not for the 124 or 210 cars. The latter two don't give a country, just the description, e.g., "210020 E 300 DIESEL."
