I don't think a true Euro would start with WDB...

I also tried calling the dealership listed in the auction. Voice Mail and Mailbox was full - not getting good vibes.

hmmm...he returned one e-mail.
said a/c was not ice cold... little to no dripping... and tranny sometimes shifted hard into 3rd those were the questions i asked. it would be a seldom used vehicle for me..but one that i would keep indefinetely. this summer i tried to buy one from a florida guy who was moving oversees...but he wouldn't let his go for a reasonable price.

really only interested in coupes... have a 124... wouldn't mind a 123... can afford a 108. I keep my eyes open for a 560SEC...but those things scare me
you don't see too many of either of these in the town i live in.... i don't like to see myself coming and going.

It's a Euro
See smaller bumpers and a 2.3 Injected 4 cylinder.

Whoever federalized the car added the WDB to make 17 chars. Pretty common back in the gray market heydey.
The Russian VIN website usually takes WDB + Euro VIN but doesn't in this case. There's a Euro 240D in L.A offered on eBay. You can run that VIN. Sixto 93 300SD |
