Summary

Mercedes-Benz C-Class 1998 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class 1998: VIN WDB2020251F670627, production year 1998, mileage 330k km, petrol engine, manual gearbox and an asking price of $3,990. 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. High mileage — service history and the condition of the engine and gearbox are decisive.

Market position

Based on current data, year ±2). Market prices range from $2,165 to $5,040 with a median of $3,375, and this offer is above the market: 18% over 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 above most similar listings — trim or condition should explain the gap.

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 3, transfers — 1, plate changes — 1, years in the registry — 5. The latest recorded operation: Sold to a new owner on 01.11.2025. 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. The plate was changed 1 time — such changes can split the history into separate episodes.
