[W126 Coupe] test

[Rltimmerma at aol.com]

John,
    You might be surprised at the information you can  get from your local MB 
dealer's service manager.  I was.  I took my  just purchased 560 SEC to the 
local dealer (Hoehn MB in Carlsbad, CA) and  explained that I had just bought 
it and could he give me any information about  it.  He took the VIN and in a 
few minutes came back with a print out of a  VMI (Vehicle Master Inquiry).  It 
included a list of options and the codes  for paint and upholstery as well as 
the production and delivery dates.  The  warranty history showed that my black 
beauty had been originally delivered to a  dealer in New York where it had 
several paint imperfections repaired before  delivery.  Four years later it had 
the EZL and automatic transmission  replaced at 54,000 miles under warranty.
    From a CarFax report I learned that it moved across  the river to New 
Jersey before it made the trip to California and was registered  first in 
Carpinteria then Palmdale.
 
Hope you have similar results in finding out about your SEC.
 
Regards,
 
Ray Timmerman
