I’m searching everywhere for a nicely equipped very low mileage 2016 E350 or E400 sedan. I’m running VINs for details and later production 2016 models list “077 YEAR OF MODIFICATION 15/0 ECHELON 2”.

Can anyone provide more information on this code?

Thanks.

As far as I can tell, Mercedes-Benz uses several build codes that have no specific definition that means much to we customers.

I have the same code as yours on my 7/21/15 built E350. But I also have the following...

108 CONTROL CODE MARKETING
494 U.S. VERSION
6P5 STEUERCODE VERTRIEB FUER CODE 475 ANFORDERUNG (anyone sprechen sie Deutsch?)
705L UNITED STATES (USA)
7XXL NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA (that's the third notation for N/A or US... I guess repetition is just Teutonic efficiency?)
806 CHANGE OF MODEL YEAR, THE LAST FIGURE SHOWING THE NEW MODEL YEAR (huh?)
986 DEVIATING VIN WITH MODEL YEAR (huh, pt.2?)
HA REAR AXLE (yes, I would hope so)
J82 SEPTEMBER RELEASE

I don't think it important to know what any of these mean. Curious, yes... need to know, not exactly.

Maybe someone here is in the know afterall and will chime in, please.
