Please help with VIN numbers!
 

Hi

Can anybody please help me and read off the first letters and digits off their 2001 C240? A very obnoxious guy backed into my 280SL today and was going to take off until I passed him and got him to stop. He then handed me his insurance card and I asked him if he was the guy listed on that card, because he didn't have his drivers license.

He lied and I unfortunately copied the brokers name and number and only THE LAST 6 DIGITS of his VIN. I thought I had enough and he was being very pushy. Can anyone please give me the WBA....... for a 2001 C240?

Thanks very much, Tom

it's WDB.

either
203.061
or
203.261

my wild guess: WDB 203061 1A ******

RE: Please help with VIN numbers!
 

Thanks sleepwalker. Is this a very wild, wild guess? What is the difference between 061 and 261?

Tom

very simple.

203.261 got:
fat ass.
no trunk.
wagon.
can put extra seats behind passenger seat.
can carry 20 more extra six-pack of beer inside... plus barbecue grill, some marinated steaks, patty, buns and hammock.

Thanks again.

Your guess was right. It was a 4 door sedan. Would the numbers for a 2 door sedan be any different or were they in the same series of numbers as the 4 door sedans?

why don't you just tell me the last 6 VIN numbers that you got so i can answer you straight?

i might be able to tell you who the dealer was.

...and the US version of VIN is: WDB RF61J3 1F 084747

RE: Please help with VIN numbers!
 

Thanks, once again. I really appreciate your help.

Is that Blue 359 a very dark Blue (this one was). So the fact that this was a US car, affected the first digits as opposed to a European market car?
