    Current Mileage: 119,650

    • Current Owners:  Wakefield Place Louisville, KY 40245

    Benz Dealer, Tafel Motors in Louisville, KY, (Dealership subsequently acquired by

    Mercedes Benz of Louisville).

    • All recommended/required maintenance has been performed over the term of

    ownership, (documentation available).

    • No significant accident or damage to the vehicle during term of ownership. One minor

    accident that did not involve another vehicle, (Brushed right outer undercarriage

    against parking chuck in a public garage several years ago. Repairs made by Senn’s

    Body Shop, Middletown, KY/Documentation available).

    • Purchased as a MB Starmark Used Vehicle, (Requirements: no significant accident,

    hail or water damage, no salvaged vehicles and all suggested maintenance must be

    completed/documented. Vehicle must be inspected and signed off on by a MB North

    America authorized Mechanic to qualify. Documentation available.)

    • Original CarFax Document dated 30Apr2003 states there are no issues with this

    vehicle, (document available).

    • Experian Autocheck Document dated 27Mar2004 states there are no issues with this

    vehicle, (document available).

    • CarFax Document dated 26Jun2024, in error, states that this vehicle was claimed a

    total loss and sold at a salvage auction on 13Apr2003. (Vehicle owned by Tafel Motors

    at this time.) Several attempts by the current owners, Mercedes Benz of Louisville and

    MB USA to have CarFax correct this error have not resulted in action. CarFax refuses to

    provide any information or documentation to corroborate this claim and has no

    satisfactory answer as to why this claim did not appear on prior CarFax documents for

    this vehicle. Owner’s current insurance company nor the Kentucky Department of

    Motor Vehicles can locate any information or documentation that corroborates the

    CarFax claim of Salvage of this vehicle and do not recognize the CarFax claim as

    factual.

    salvage, (the term they use is a “branded title”). New KY tags were issued for this

    vehicle Oct2024 as there is no branded title for this vehicle. New KY tags were issued

    for this vehicle each year the current owners possessed this vehicle.

    • Auto Insurance Companies will not insure vehicles for commuter use if the vehicle has

    a branded title due to being salvaged. Each year this vehicle has been possessed by

    the current owners, an Auto Insurance Policy was issued by a reputable USA based

    insurance company with no issues.

    • Vehicle History Document dated 11Mar2025 from SearchQuarry, (a reputable vehicle

    database and information search company used by US based insurance companies),

    states that there are no title brands, major accidents, etc. registered or documented

    for this vehicle. (Document available
