Hi all,
i'm a new user , i just purchased a used R300 L with low Kms on it.
I wasnt sure whether it is a SWB or LWB,
is there a number which identifies it?
also i did a quick Vin lookup, it says the car model is R280 instead of the emblem R300.
should i be worried? haha

thank you.

Yes, however what does the official title documentation say-----also where did the car come from!!

the car came from a third party.dealer. i read somewhere when the R class was facelifted, the emblem was changed to R300(2011-2013) instead of R280(2006-2010)

anyways, how about the lwb and swb.. any way i can find out of the version?
thanks

take a look at these 2 end to end. In the LWB, the front and rear doors are almost same length. in SWB the rear door is noticeable shorter.

but also check wiki... it gives the wheelbase of both models.. 10 inches difference.. you can measure it!

In North America, I've never seen a short wheelbase. Our models are R320 and then R350 for the diesels.

this confirms my R is a LWB...nice...
