I keep seeing a trend where Mercedes vehicles that have been in a total loss type of accidents are exported from US to different countries around the world. People in US know better to check the Carfax before buying a car but that's not the case even for Europe. You can buy cars from Germany and not be able to check the VIN on a trust source.
I can only see a very small # of Mercedes vehicle that have been exported but I decided to put the VIN and Carfax history here so maybe the final buyers of those cars can see this thread before paying for a car that may be not safe to drive. To be fair, it doesn't take much for a Mercedes to be declared total loss but some of these cars have been involved in very serious accidents and even the best repair can still have weak points in frame or body.
I will update this thread as i find more VIN #'s.
