300te
when was this 300te made?

Hi all, im thinking of buying a 300te, its a japanese import and the seller says its a 1996 model, the vin number is WDB1240902F149808


could someone confirm this for me, as i tried the russian vin decoder and it looks like its still not working.

thanks

if you have all the info on that vin it would be nice too to know what it had on it when it left the factory

Coupes and wagons were made through 96. I think the cabrios were made through 97.

You can't go by what's posted on some of the Japanese cars. I have been informed that sometimes it carries the year it was first registered in Japan. I've seen a 500e (w124) being listed as a 1999, 2002, doesn't make sense sometimes.
