ability to read and interpret a VMI

Is there anyone out there able to read AND interpret a VMI I have for a SL500 that I'm about to inspect and buy.

I'm trying to ascertain a good overall opinion of the vehicle by looking at it's record.

Rather than post the VMI here, I'd rather PM a knowledgable member or members that are willing to review and share their input privately.

Thank you,
AZ
