4Matic Confirmed by VIN?
I'm considering assuming the lease on a friend's 2010 E350, with an eye towards purchase at lease end. He assures me it's a 4Matic, although there's no badge on the trunk lid. Any way to verify with the VIN? WDDHF5GB4AA031257
Thanks.
Thanks.

It's RWD!
According to the EPC, it's RWD!
You friends car is a 212.056 (RWD, E350) vs, 212.087 (4matic, E350)
Do they also assure you of it's genuine leather upholstery?
Some friend!

Thanks.
My EPC subscription has expired, and I have not been able to renew (site keeps responding "SORRY: THERE WAS AN ERROR PROCESSING YOUR TRANSACTION. PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER.")
I'm confident my friend believed he was leasing a 4Matic, as that's what he's had for the 210 & 211 models. I suspect his salesman told him whatever was necessary to close the deal.
Thanks for the info.

Your welcome, glad I could help!
No matter, if your friend knew or didn't know about it not having 4Matic (but really how could he not?), it's always good to be thorough & check things out for yourself! Wouldn't that have been a surprise for you come winter!
I guess this is a good example why you don't sell or buy cars from friends or relatives.

Thanks, guys
My buddy likes nice cars, but he's not an enthusiast; details are not his thing.
Leases for a few years, move on to the next.

I get it though.....nice car, but not concerned about
the appearance......hopefully at least the upkeep and wear and tear,
but I guess that suceeds to leasing eh? I've never leased anything before
