Check the VIN decoder. WDB1240311B570596 The data card shows up the codes and the last one is the important one :-)September 9th, 2025 at 1:37pm ESTGoBoGo (102) 0@TinoAndAlex Understood about the leather, thanks for the info! I am still confused with the 990 (I understand the concept and have always seen the descriptor of the 990/AMG tie-in, but I am not seeing where it actually shows 990--I just see the images of the VIN with 980 above--where is the 990 showing?) I'm not questioning the provenance by the way, literally I am just curious where I should be looking to see 990! I am a true W124 lover; my old 91 300D made it over 278K miles in our family/extended family. September 9th, 2025 at 1:18pm ESTTinoAndAlex (24) Seller 0@GoBoGo Hi Code 990 means "AMG Komplettfahrzeug" like it was ordered here. It includes, that the whole car was tuned by AMG before delivered to a branch or customer. Leather was always an option in Germany. Even a W140 600SEL was equipped with Velours. For leather you paid extra. In the early 90ies this car was exceptional cool and it still is 34 years later. Fun fact: for a good equipped 190E 3.2 AMG or a 300E-24V 3.4L AMG you were able to buy a 500SEL! That was crazy. September 9th, 2025 at 1:08pm ESTGoBoGo (102) 1LOVELY car; another fantasy vehicle... I do have a question--there is much talk about the "990" code but all I see is 980--just curious what that means, etc.? And I meant to ask this on other auctions as well--why is it most US "luxury" cars wear leather interiors and most of the actual Euro versions seem to prefer cloth upholstery? Regardless, this is awesome and if only I had scored more than 1 number on my Powerball ticket(s)! (actually, I did win $4 but that's not going to help here!) GLWTA!
