Benz VIN number

Hello guys,
I am new to this site, and this is my first question. Does anyone know what the Mercedes VIN number exactly tells? or at least what the 4th - 8th character means?
I would be very grateful if anyone can tell me what each character means.
Regards.

Hi:

Can you decode this VIN, please?: WDBGASIGOVA340575

Sales slip, may have to go right to car instead.

Much thanks!
Invalid vin designation, please check your vin # again.

Thank you

Thank you Eric, your help has been invaluable - because now I will not buy the car. The dealer was trying to pass it off as a 190E 2.3 but my suspicions were proved by your decoding of the vin.

However, I may bother you for this service once more as I have been actively looking for a 190E, I had rejected 2 ot hem and the 3rd on the basis of the above, but there is yet one more.

Thank you again, Eric.

I am not holding you to a specific number of decodes, finding the right car is always difficult, when you need a decode just post the vin my friend.

1965? If so this will not be listed in EPC, ask the chaps in the classic car forum.
 
#1,191 ·
On a 1965 car I would not know where to look sorry, but the chaps on the classic forum may know. EPC is the Benz parts catalogue and this holds the data cards for each car but in 65 EPC did not exist in its present format.

VIN for an AMG

Eric I finally bought a C36 AMG. It's vin doesn't seem to match - it shows up as a C180... I satisfied myself that it was a real AMG and its condition and price were really good so I went for it. It had only 69000 km! Here is the VIN:

WDB2020186F221557

Can you tell me what this says? Even the year of manufacture is not known to me since the car was sold as per the year of first registration in Thailand (1999). However it does seem clear that this car was a Japanese car because it had Birds Eye Maple wood trim. Whatever you can tell me about this will be greatly appreciated.

It was built for Thailand. And it is a C180
