Reminds me of a friend who used to be an "exporter" of MB cars to Taiwan, he bought so many cars that MBZ found out about his operation and shut him down.

Hi! Sixto:

Thank you for your info.

Actually, I am not sure the SEL is euro or us spec.

The owner said it's from the authorized "Mercdes Benz of Taiwan",
then I assume it's directly from Germany.

Well, I know that US spec has speed limit, but I don't really drive that fast, so I think US version is ok for me.

Here's an idea - check the VINs of those cars at carfax.com. The VIN is the 17-character string visible on the driver side windshield pillar. It'll be something like WDBCA39... for the SEL. There's a cost to checking so maybe someone on the forum with an open account can offer to help you. It won't tell you anything about the history of a car outside the US, but if carfax has any record of those cars then they were originally sold/registered in the US. A report might even validate the odometer readings. And what if they're reported as stolen in the US? I hope I'm not scaring you :)

Hi! William:

I am still single. So.....:)

I also think that SEC will be a "eyeball" catcher on the street or highway.

Do you have a source for Depo brand replacement Euro spec headlights for these cars? See - http://www.depoautolamp.com/index.htm

Ha! It's a Taiwan-based company.

I think I knew someone from other car forum in Taiwan who's working for a "replacement light" company.

Maybe it's the same one.

I got to ask him.
