Like I have been told, the Daimler Chrysler Benz are the ones to stay away from, from my VIN, I have succeeded.

I assume I should have updated this thread and stated, info was acquired elsewhere but valuable opinions are still welcomed here. Obviously, opinions with like I said no particulars wouldn't/shouldn't change a decision.
...and I can say the Merc I've driven of the same model & year (just different engine) has been flawless. You should be good with your new ride

Although I still want to se some pics or it didn't happen.
