hi guys, first post here for me... going to pick up my first benz 05' C55 tonight... I'm coming from an 06' Cayenne Turbo and I hope the C55 will be just as much fun although a different beast all together.

ANyhow, I was wondering if anyone in here had the ability to decode the VIN for the C55 I'm picking up. I would like to know exactly what options/features it has.

VIN - WDBRF76J35F613408

Can anyone help please?

Shoot me a PM with your email address, I can help.

Anyone can actually punch in a VIN on the online EPC, but for Canadians (from Toronto, right?) it's difficult to register. Even though it's free to register, they require a credit card and it won't accept non-US addresses. Boo. Another member helped me out and registered for me, for which I'm eternally grateful, as the EPC is a big help when ordering parts.

the CTT was great - probably the ultimate vehicle - it did everything great but it was time to move on... I'm a 90% city driver and the fuel consumption was killing me. Essentially it was overkill.

THe C55 is much smaller and better suited for my needs. Its funny, I just got back from picking it up and I think I reached for a clutch pedal 3 times. It feels like a sports car
