I requested a VMI report at the local dealership for my newly acquired 1985 300SD. To service adviser handed me the one page report and said "it has never been to a dealer". There were zero records, although the carfax report listed a handful for brakes and tires. Has 193xxx miles but the odomet

VMIs are not reliable for cars prior to about 1988-90 or thereabouts. The fact that it has no (service) entries doesn’t mean it didn’t go to a dealer - their recording methods were still hit or miss back then. I don’t put a lot of value in VMIs for cars prior to about 1990, as they rarely show

IMO the only thing that matters with cars that old is condition. I wouldn’t even look at a Carfax really, and I’m guessing they have the same issue… just too long ago for reliable records to exist. You might get some recent history but that only tells you so much. On Sat, Mar 11, 2023, at 20:47

CarFax are nothing other than registration/title records when it gets that old. Understand that service records on a CarFax are all self-reported, which is why they’re so spotty. They’re getting better at receiving information from independents, but it’s still not the best source of information,
