Incoming GL63
Hi all I'm about to purchase a GL63 and has got the VIN number but would like to check up the options with VIN decoders, unfortunately none of the online ones work so it would be great if any of you can give me a hand on that, the seller claims the car's a MY13 but I'm not sure about that as it seems to be a 12 to me. Anyway the VIN number's WDC1668742A215721. It'll be great if someone can show me the specs with a vin decoder. Thanks a lot and I look forward posting photos very soon.

There is no 2012 GL63. Its either 2013 or 2014 - probably a 2013

Your dealer can print out a exact features sheet for that GL with the last 7 of the VIN... takes about 45 seconds...

Thanks for the reply fabbrisd1 but unfortunately here in the uk our dealers does not have the VIN decoder like the US, would've been great if we did have such service here.

NetStar US does not have visibility on VIN#'s allocated for intl delivery - on the same hand the delivering dealer can print out confirming factory spec sheet for that PO# or that VIN#.. in like 45 seconds on their MB system..
