1> go to www.carfax.com
2> enter vin number WDB10704412065298 keeping in mind that The letters "I", "O" and "Q" never appear in a VIN, the VIN must be exactly 17 characters in length and the vehicle year must be 1981 through the present. (the VIN number you provided is invalid.)
3> decide if you want a single report for $19.99 or unlimited reports in a 30 day period for $24.99
4> enter payment info

Ok already! I didn't know until yesterday and found out on another MB forum that CarFax only traces back to 1981 model year.
While other MB forums members are offering to look up CarFax info for fellow members, (they did for my 87 300D) and as well from a Volvo forum I also am a member, I just assumed this is an offering not uncommon in car forums as I have found. I didn't think it would be any different here, I didn't antisipate some people here on this MB forum (I also posted the same request in the tech section here) of which I am new to, to have such a beef about my asking for this info! Another reply I got here was suggestive that if I could not afford a CarFax report, I could not afford a MB!
Maybe some of the members here on this MB forum are not so generous, nor as friendly! What was I thinking

This 1980 450SL was given to me last week by my brother. He has no info on it's history and the Odometer stopped working at 178K. All basically I wanted was to find out if I could to determine based on previous ownership how many miles might be on it today!
A further understanding as to my frustration here can be explained in the tech section on this forum, please read.
