Original Window Sticker

Does anyone know where I could get a copy? I just paid $10 bucks online and it turned out to be a generic sticker not specifically for my VIN.

It needs to come from the original dealership that sold the car - at least that is what MB USA told me.

I just thought about last night so I googled it and came across a few websites. I tried to go with the one that seemed most legit and it was a fail. It's not really a big deal, just was one of those random thoughts.

They keep records of Window stickers for this long? My car is a 2013. I might give it a shot if I feel like putting in the effort.

I agree that the dealer may be a good try. On my prior CLK 430 I loved having the original window sticker. Seeing all the options and the price when new $55k made me appreciate the car a little more than I already did.

Good luck.

Not quite the same as a Window Sticker, but wouldn't a build sheet give you most of that information. All option codes are listed and a total price. Just a thought. Any dealer or MBUSA can provide it with your VIN.

A lot of the older build sheets have been purged from Netstar

Yes, the build sheet would give you similar info, just not as pretty as the window sticker lol.

Having “THE” original window sticker that was actually affixed to the car when it came to market, has the potential to be a very valuable item, if and when a car ever achieves “collector car” status. Our little 231’s still have a way to go for this to happen, but I do believe it will happen one day. Our cars are quite unique and in the future, a pristine example sporting its original sticker will be a sought after collectible.

The day I took delivery of my 2019.

Very nice that you took delivery at such low miles, your car looks nice.

Vehicles I taken delivery is usually around 90 KMs which is around 55? miles, I guess the vehicles I buy are usually test driven a lot before I get my hands on it.

It actually had only about 6 miles on the clock, but I took the photo after a test drive. I ordered the car and was very fortunate that it got through the Long Beach VPC in one day and I took delivery the following day. I know it’s no big deal to most folks, but to a condition lunatic like me, I was thrilled that the car didn’t bake in the sun for weeks or months before I could tuck it away in my garage.

I have never babied a car as I have this one, mostly because I know I can never get another like it. It is usually driven weekly, to keep the juices flowing, but I never really drive it to a destination and leave it outside. I take it out for a drive for maybe 30 minutes or an hour and then it goes back in the garage. The interior still has that new car aroma.

I am jealous that you were able to buy it with such low mileage and I am glad that people didn't test drive your particular one and added miles before you bought it as new. Absolutely, this is a great SL and enjoy in good health!

You're welcome you deserve such fine vehicle. I am just super glad that after your dissatisfaction with the W223 you had and the terrible transmission experience with also your W222, you still have this car you thoroughly love and enjoy, truly happy to hear that!

I also downloaded one. It is very similar to the original.

Monroneylabels.com provides a nice OEM Sticker service for $9.99. Unfortunately, Monroney only goes back to 2014 for Mercedes and back to 1990 for Porsches. I guess I'll have to check with a dealer (unlikely) or a manufacturer (maybe) or upgrade to some newer vehicles (likely unaffordable) in order to get an OEM type Sticker for any of my herd members.

I purchased the Monroneylabels.com copy for my 2015 SL by vin #. . While it is useful, it is not accurate, Had missing options as well as options i did not actually have. Prices listed for options were also incorrect. . . . I know this because 4 weeks after purchasing the car, I fount the original window sticker folder up nicely and under the drivers seat. . .
