    1994 model year dapat letter before number na yan. Instead of 220E dapat E220, pareho yan with 1995.

    US models are 260E 300E 400E 500E until 1993. 1994-1995 naging E320 E420 pero meron 1993 na 300E 2.8 m104 engine nakakalito talaga ang Mercedes maniwala ka. Takes a while to absorb all these differences.

    Kung titignan mo yung sasakyan, make sure the VIN on the firewall, on the radiator tag, on the dashboard and driver door jamb are all the same. VIN on all body panels dapat match din but not as important as VIN on the chassis frame itself. Cross reference the VIN on the Russian VIN Decoder, check that the engine code matches the designation and engine (isang balik na naman ito to inspect). Usually, E220/E200/200E/220E have smaller engine, longer fan shroud and smaller air cleaner box due to it being a 4-cylinder model. 260E/300E/280E have inline 6 naman, larger components compared to 4-banger model. Or better yet take a really good image of the engine tapos post mo dito.

    My best suggestion is have a trustworthy mechanic who knows MB's inspect the car (prepurchase inspection) tapos go through it one by one.

    Good luck sana good deal ito
