I know there is one or more somebodies here that can PM me a MB history on a car I'm looking at - I just can't find them!

Looking to upgrade to an '18+ E63 and have one in my sights, but zero history is given/or I can find...

I'd like this to be the one! Help please?

You are spending 50k+ on a used car. Spend 50 bucks for carfax and autocheck. Make sure to do both. Some accident history only shows on autocheck and not carfax.
also $200 PPI from local MB dealer is highly recommended.
if you need to check build sheet to check included option, you can use mb dot vin.

Thanks for the suggestions - been burned more than once on Carfax so that's a pass. I've got some history but only ownership and registration. I'm working on getting records for dealer service - hopefully can get a hold of those. I wish it was only $50K!!!

On edit: I do plan on having it checked over at my MB dealer...

What you are looking for is VMI and only Mercedes dealer can print one out for you. It will show service history at all previous Mercedes dealers. It won't show you anything done at an indy shop or if the owner DYI.

Thank you, 100% what I'm looking for. This is a Carmax car and I will buy their 5 year warranty - within the 30 day "no questions asked" return period I'll have the MB dealer do a thorough inspection. Our E550 (also bought through CM w/ warranty ($2700)) went through well over $20K in repairs, all covered.

Anything that is a known problem area on this generation? This car is loaded with P3 package and more...

Thank you - has CarFax been a good source of info for you on MBs? I've had crap luck with them, but that has been lower priced cars that "flippers" often don't report to CarFax all that was wrong until sometime after the sale - and some of those were pretty bad...

Yeah it's hit or miss what does & doesn't get reported to carfax/autocheck.. X2 on a vmi from MB. I just recently found an E63 with structural damage on the autocheck & it had a clean carfax. So I make sure to run both now. Not a be all end all by any means but whorthwhile info in their reports for sure .

Just curious did carmax quote a price for the 5yr warr. for an e63 for you ?

Yes they did, $50 deductible at $3429 5 years/75k miles...
