Re: info??

I have the details from the vin check. I was wondering if anyone knew where this dealership was located. I'd like to know what country it was bought in first day.

Re: info??

Well, I can say is that it was maintained by an official Mercedes-Benz garage named Gebrüder (Bothers) Spicker in Saalestrasse 10, 45478 Mulheim and der Ruhr (between Duisburg and Essen in Nordrhein Westfallen - Western Germany) that no longer exists.

There is a car dealer named Cool-cars GmbH & Co. KG listed at that address though.

The local Mercedes garage is now Fahrzeug-Werke LUEG AG -Autorisierter Mercedes-Benz Verkauf und Service

Alot of my manuals are in German but it also has some english copies. Strange that it was bought in Germany since it is right hand drive.

I saw a german Audi a4 RHD in a BCA car auction over the summer, my friend and I were like 'whaaaaaaaaaat?'
