Hi Joe ( jmattioni ) I would highly appreciate if you could provide me also data on my 2008 SL55 WDBSK72F48F138587,
Thank you.
Sorry for the late response. Didn't see any notification.
Unfortunately, your vehicle doesn't seem to be in the database! Is there an error in the VIN you supplied? The VIN decoder sites also have no data for it.
Is it: WDBSK72F48F138578?

Reason: add reports
This is my first attempted post, as I just recently discovered this forum. I own two R230s that I would love to know more about, especially how many were made in the same configuration. If you can help me, I am especially appreciative! Thank you
Wait. Something doesnt make sense on this. What is the "performance" package? Also there r different numbers on the bottom for totals. Am I missing something?

I saw this on another vin on this thread and I realized I didnt know theres a difference. This is a little off topic but Id imagine this is sorta related. This has been an amazing piece of information for me.

Was that one of my reports?
FYI - I have now changed the way totals are derived for special models. In the new method only a build code that describes and "edition" or "special" can optionally limit totals to that code.
P30 is an unusual code in that it's meaning has changed several times over the years. Here's the summary:
Cde Eff Date Description
P30 0000-00-00 SPECIAL MODEL SILVER ARROW EDITION USA
P30 2002-11-26 SMART EDITION STARBLUE
P30 2005-05-04 AMG PERFORMANCE PACKAGE
P30 2009-04-21 EDITION LIMITED FIVE
So P30 in years where it was "special" or an "edition" can be totalled.
