Summary

Mercedes-Benz E-Class 1993 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class 1993: VIN WDB1240301B496981, production year 1993, mileage 194k km, petrol/LPG engine, automatic gearbox and an asking price of $2,600. Such a check helps to quickly understand how well a specific car matches the market, whether the price looks suspiciously low and whether the mileage is typical for this year.

Insight: The car is over 15 years old — running costs are higher; the key inspection points are the body and anti-corrosion treatment. Low mileage for its age — the odometer reading is worth cross-checking with the history.

Market position

Based on current data, year ±2). Market prices range from $1,790 to $6,560 with a median of $2,875, and this offer is below the market: 10% under the median. This is not always a problem, but such a difference deserves extra attention to the car's condition, documents, registration history.

Insight: The price is below most similar listings — condition, trim or history usually explain the gap. Wide price spread — the final value depends heavily on trim, condition and mileage.

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 3, transfers — 1, plate changes — 0, years in the registry — 3. The latest recorded operation: Sold to a new owner on 06.06.2026. This data helps to assess the legal transparency of the car before buying.

Insight: A moderate number of owners (3) — typical for the car’s age. There were transfers but the plate stayed the same — the history was not broken up by plate changes.
