Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / December 2004Invalid VIN on Carfax, what does this mean?
I was looking at a '90 300CE at Autotrader but whenever I enter the VIN into a title check service I get an invalid VIN message. According to Benzworld it's a valid number and was built in '90 at the Sindlefingen plant. So what does this mean other than to maybe stay the hell away from the car? The car has to have been titled sometime but could it be a recent import? Thanks for any help.

Dollar has been weak enough since before 1990 that not many gray market cars make much sense any more. ds > >I was looking at a '90 300CE at Autotrader but whenever I enter the VIN > > into a title check service I get an invalid VIN message.
