How do I read my Vin#?

The VIN number#202 0331 F82 4305 is from my car!
How do I read those numbers to know if I have an early or late model car?
This car is manufactured in winter 98 as a 99 model!

But I don't get it how to check the chassi cut offs?

For exmple some bushings are up to a certain chassi number, then it cuts off and another chassi number cuts in!

To Ch.No. A 443812
To Ch.No. F 500865

How do I read my chassi number F824305 to know which bushings to buy?

Should I go after the letter A or F?

Come on guys n gals!
Nobody knows how to read the #VIN?

Is it the first 3 digits in F824305 or the last 3 digits?

Some parts fits up to a certain #VIN chassi so it's difficult to know how to read the #VIN!

There are several MB trained mechanics here on this forum, can you help out an AMG brotha?
Much oblige.

83 500SEC, 87 300D, 02 C32(x2), 02 C320T (x2), 03 C320T4, 03 C320T, 03 E55, 05 E320CDI, 06 E320CDI
He is saying you need to find the part that says "From Ch.No. F500866" since your car is F824305

For example, the part you listed would include all models From F000000 to F500865. The later part would cover cars F500566 to F999999. Ignore the AXXXXXX, since your car is an "F" you can ignore the other part of it.

Ok, that was a better explanation!
Thanks!

So this is the #VIN number before my car:
To Ch.No. F 500865
The example #VIN: F 500865 comes before my car's # VIN: WDB 202 033 1F824305?
That means my car is a later edition!

This is the correct parts number for my C43 AMG highlighted in black!
From Ch.No. A 443813
From Ch.No. F 500866

Thanks
