Hi. I am a new owner of an old (1993) Mercedes E 320 cabriolet. I have an E number: WDB1240661B91658. and I am trying to find out where it was made and where it went when it came out of the factory.

The VIN is missing one number!!

Niesnies

This is the number on the official papers

Plutoe

Either there is a typo or you got screwed or both--MB VIN's have a 17 alpha numeric string----when I put your 16 string VIN in EPC it states error in sequence.

Have I counted incorrectly and or how-----In what democratic country did you get the vehicle registered ??

Niesnies

Originally from Japan, I think. It was then imported to Holland and I am picking it up from there. Will look at the number on the car itself, when I pick it up.

Plutoe

Well you better ask for conformation, because what do you think is going to happen when you go to register the car---in any event I can't help without the correct information!!

Niesnies

Sorry, I recheckt what I have got and I could see a nine was missing. So here is (what I hope is the right number) : WDB1240661B919658

Plutoe

amazing what one charecter makes---yes you are correct the car(320CE) was shipped to Japan

engine=104.992 serial 12 012511
Tranny=722.503 serial 03 808838
color=dark blue

Hopefully this is what you purchased

Thank you very much. To have all that information from just a number. Does it mention a dealer?? By any chance. I am looking forward to Saturday to drive the car and I might have just a little more information.:

The MB VIN Datacard info has the order number, but not who. The datacard lists all the factory build features and special options selected by the customer. A must if you are purchasing a used car or parts for the car.
