One possibility is that when the car was first registered, human error goofed up the VIN number. I had a similar problem with my euro twincam, where the Mercedes standard WDB was listed as WCE. It took more than a couple DMV visits to correct the VIN.

I suspect that Carfax only takes the VIN information from the various DMV records and nobody has ever bothered to correct the VIN on this 190E.

While there are some VIN's the Russian site will choke on, this shouldn't be one of them. I believe the VIN is probably invalid.
