LAST VIN

I'm posting here as it's a very active forums. When I put a vin number in on a car that is 2-3 years old, it says it's not found. Is there another website available where you can find out exactly what options and spec are on a particular car?

Most VIN decoder sites that used to show options seem to have gone defunct. I've heard that MB changed the API, so these sites no longer have access. LastVIN used to work for my 2019, but it stopped working several years ago. The only one that still works for me is mb.vin.

800 367 6367 gets you to Mercedes customer service. You can request a factory “build sheet” at no charge. After verifying ownership, they email it.
Also Monroney Labels (monroneylabels.com.
$9.99 for a window sticker label.
i have both for my car…
Good luck
Chuck

Amazingly enough, there's a VIN decoder sitting here in MBWorld right under our noses. It seems to have data beyond what the VIN decoder sites have. I know that because I have a subscription to online EPC and was researching the final year for the S65 (2019). As a test, I put in the highest numbered S65 VIN that I know of (WDDXJ7KB6KA040458) into two of my favorite Vin decoder sites - Lastvin.com and mbdecoder.com They don't have it. MBWorld decoder did have it.

Check it out: MBWorld VIN Decoder

Failing that I'd be happy to look up a FIN/VIN for you on EPC online.

This VIN decoder has been here for a long time, but it only shows the standard specs and options. It doesn’t actually decode the VIN down to individual option codes like LastVIN does when it works.

True it doesn't provide specific information about the vehicle identified by the serial number within the VIN. It does provide a nice overview of the model and the options that were available. The pricing data is also useful and not typically provided by the decoder sites.

One catch is that it only seems to accept VINs and not FINs. So not helpful for markets that don't have VINs.

I wonder where they get their data?
