Brand-wide guidance: Japan-market Mercedes usually retain a 17-character VIN (commonly WDB or WDD prefixes), not a short Japanese chassis code. Find it on the export / deregistration papers, the door-jamb plate, and the windscreen VIN tag. Platform codes below (R230, W204, …) help identify the generation — for lookup, enter the full VIN.

What to check on a SL-Class

  • Confirm the full WDB/WDD VIN on documents matches the car.
  • Soft-top and quarter-panel repairs show on honest damage maps.
  • High asking prices make mileage fraud especially profitable — always verify.
