Mercedes-Benz S-Class 1996 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class 1996: VIN WDB1400501A241678, model year 1996, mileage 580k km, газ/бензин (lpg) engine, автомат gearbox and an asking price of $6,000.

High mileage — check the service history and the condition of the engine and gearbox. LPG is indicated — verify the legality of the installation and the registered conversion.

Market position

Market prices range from $2,300 to $26,900 with a median of $10,900, and this offer is about 45% below the median.
