Help with vin
 
I am looking at importing a 1990 500sl. Can the VIN number tell me the month of production? ( It must be older than 15 years). Is there any other way of determining this?

Thanks all

The month of production appears on the plate on the door jamb of every MB I have seen...so ask the seller what it says. Chances are good that a 1990 model year car was made before 2/90 as they probably began production in the early of 89 for the 90 MY (my 98 was made in July '97, as an example).

I may stand corrected, but if you're actually bringing the car in from another country, it may not have a VIN number on it.

Hi Perkis,
Give me the VIN and I'll check the data card which contains the delivery date.
All the best,
Dokta
