Help - VIN decoding before I buy!!
Hi - Please can someone help me urgently!
(I'm truly sorry for the multiple post, but this forum seems more active than the CL forum and I need to make a quick decision)
I need a VIN number decoded to see what options were fitted at the factory...the dealer is 300miles away, and I am taking a bit of a risk and buying "remotely" - although of course I will check the car before I actually pay the money....
My local MB dealer said they could not tell me the VIN information...which I found strange, but guess they have better things to do??!!!
Its a 2007 (UK spec) CL500 - test drove anothe rone yesterdasy and was blown aweay completely....
VIN number is WDD2163712A005099
Can anyone help - I have searched the internet and these forums - found some sites (the Russian one for example) but its not complete -I know the car has night vision assist - but this does not show up on the Russian site decoder.
Its the factory options I need to know quickly so I can put a deposit on the car. The non MB dealers seem so confused with the huge number of options, I just cant get a straight answer...
Grateful for assistance - and hopefully - I'll be back here soon -
thanks
Alex

The Russian sites do show the Night View Assist option, it is 610, they just don't give the correct name for that option. For the rest, see PM.
