Finally got my VMI

While at the dealer yesterday for an alignment, I got them to pull the VMI on my car.

Two items of note on it:
Wiring harness replaced at 62k miles!
Instrument cluster at 25k.

The instrument cluster was a concern for me, as the car is a '92 300SE, but it has a digital odo/trip. Cars of this vintage had mechanical odo/trip meters, and I was concerned how this cluster got into this car. I was afraid someone had swapped a later, low mileage cluster to cover up extreme mileage. The condition of the interior when I got the car either speaks of really, really poor treatment, or high mileage.

Since it was swapped by the dealer, I'm fairly confident that they would have transferred the mileage from the old cluster to the new one. The current one only shows 129k.

Unfortunately, I didn't see the most desirable replacement - the evaporator core. That doesn't mean it hasn't been done, only that it wasn't done as a warranty repair.

I guess eventually, I'll find out the answer to that question.
