Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify EGR pipe, exhaust flange and fuel system recall repairs.
3. Request brake, steering and parking pawl campaign records.
4. Confirm airbag, seat weld and frame fastener recall completion.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Mercedes-Benz dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
