• 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.
• KY Dept of Motor Vehicles will not issue a license for a vehicle that has been sold as
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.

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),
