Been away from this forum for awhile so thought I'd bounce this off you. Have searched the site but no luck.

I'm looking over a prospective 2000 W210 E320 4Matic wagon. High mileage from a local non-MB dealer. Not many records, but where I live there is not a large marketplace from which to select a used MB, so I take my chances when I have to.

The car looks good and seems to run well and smooth (no ringy-dingys or taps/clacks); a few small issues pop out, one rear window and PS mirror are non-op, balancer looks reasonably new, mileage is big...166K, but all my other MBs are high mileage and it typically doesn't scare me off. So, here's the question: Does MB still give out maintenance database data if you provide the VIN# so I can see its service/recall history? Oh, car was Starmarked so the PO probably got it from the dealer in WA.

Nearest dealer is 125 miles away and not very well-stocked. But they are all we have nearby. I'm going to be in their neighborhood next week so could stop by for a check, but won't waste my limited time if they don't do this anymore.

Thanks in advance,
