Pardon my naiveté -- but exactly what is a decoded VIN? I see what's been posted for the other VIN's, but exactly what information does it give you? Can I use this to my benefit? Thanks in advance!

A MB VIN contains information on the list of all options the vehicle has, the colour, the production date, the factory of production (and therefore what country it was produced in), the body style of the vehicle. As for benefits, if you forgot if your vehicle has a certain option, a VIN datacard would be able to provide that information. Other benefits include: if you are shopping for a vehicle, you can view this data card to see what options it has and if the vehicle is the one you are looking for. Decoding a VIN however would not tell you the vehicle's service history (or collision history), that requires a carfax report. Think of a VIN number as your vehicle's identity card (it stands for vehicle identification number afterall), every number and letter represents different pieces of information. for example, the first number being "5" usually means the vehicle is made in North America. The year of the vehicle is in the far middle of the VIN.

OK for I get a snapshot
I believe that the Bengal Tiger is at a MB dealership and accesses resources for MB use only.
