history

Hello all, My name is Ricardo. I'm 21 and live in central-ish London. I drive a 1995 M plated w202 c200 elegance manual. It is Azurite blue, with matching blue leather and suede on the inside (including carpets and key fob). To my knowledge most of it is stock, however the original owners did...

Hi, I have just bought a 1987 300TE in need of fettling, and was wondering if anyone might be able to help with a couple of questions I had. The car was first registered on 2 June 1987, does this make it one of the first in the UK? The reason I ask is that this is no ordinary 300TE in terms of...

*** Apologies to Mods, if this is in the wrong section *** All, My brother in law and I have found a used MB being sold privately, however it has a mixed/partial history. Does anybody here have a hook up or link into MB whereby we could check up/verify some of the details given? If...

I'm currently hunting for a used C-Class. When buying used BMWs in the past, a friendly service engineer was able to check the main dealer history of the potential purchase for me from the reg. or VIN number, including recalls, updates and so on. Is this possible for Mercedes? Via a known...

Hi all, Time has come to sell another of my Mercedes models. As stated in the add, I bought this a few months ago, with the intention of getting the work done to replace my recently sold E220 estate. I cleaned it up in preparation for the garage work, but have now just bought a newer car and...

Has anyone done this when buying a used MB? I ask as i have tried it previously with different marques and have got various grunts from the dealers! I would hope theat MB centralise their service details on computer, but hopefully someone can tell me how they have done it. Purpose would be to...

I have just updated my gallery to show the previous R2's and photos of my very first day of Mercedes Ownership. I have now had my plate on 3 Mercs on the trot. How many consecutive Mercs has everyone else owned on the same number plate?

Hi recently purchased a 1997 C230 with 56,000m and full history, but the dealer cannot find the service documents or hand book since they moved to new larger premises. I have no reason to beleive that the mileage is incorrect by the way the seats/pedal wear is like new and was told that it was...

So, I've found the almost perfect car for my rally... Problem is, it doesn't have any service history.... zero, zilch.... It's a 1997 Hard-Top Vitara, with a/c (I know... I know - but otherwise how will my cheese, caviar and champagne stay chilled in the desert? :p) Reported to have 99K...

Is there a database I can log onto to find out about previous service history to a car I have bought? Any ideas.....

My 210 has gone in for accident repairs. The garage pointed out the amount of rust: all 4 wheel arches, boot and 2 doors. They suggested I take it to the main dealer and try a warranty claim. Although I have a full service history, it is largely from an independent specialist, which is why...
