Summary

Plate AB3438IX check

This page is a short report on the car with plate AB3438IX — Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2001, VIN WDB2032351F092466, mileage 440k km, lpg / petrol engine, manual gearbox and an asking price of $3,000. A plate check helps to quickly identify the car, see its market position and registration history before buying.

Insight: The car is over 15 years old — running costs are higher; the key inspection points are the body and anti-corrosion treatment. High mileage — service history and the condition of the engine and gearbox are decisive. LPG is indicated — the legality of the installation and the registered conversion matter.

Market position

Based on current data, similar offers are available for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2001 (same model, year ±2). Market prices range from $3,100 to $5,740 with a median of $4,200, and this offer is below the market: 29% under the median. This is not always a problem, but such a difference deserves extra attention to the car's condition, documents, registration history and value guidance.

Insight: The price is abnormally low — a higher risk of hidden problems.

History & registrations

The report includes registration data: owners — 3, transfers — 2, plate changes — 1, years in the registry — 2. The latest recorded operation: Imported from abroad and registered on 27.05.2022. This data helps to understand the car’s legal history before buying.

Insight: A moderate number of owners (3) — typical for the car’s age. The plate was changed 1 time — such changes can split the history into separate episodes. The car appeared in Ukraine recently — the history is short, its origin matters.
