How can you find a model name or number from a VIN?

Answer 1

A VIN number is to give a accurate description of a vehicle. The first number identifies the country in which the vehicle was made. Second number tells who manufactured the car. Third number identifies the vehicle type or manufacturing division. Numbers four through eight gives the features such as engine type, body style, model, and series. The ninth number is used to identity the VIN'S accuracy. Character ten identifies the year. For example the year 1988 is represented with a J, 1989 is a K and so on. Which plant the car was made in is the eleventh character. And then twelve through seventeen identifies the sequence of the vehicle for production as it rolled off the manufacturers assembly line. Now knowing all this information your model name is found in characters four through eight.
