Where is the VIN Number on a Car?

 

 

Do you need your VIN, but don’t know where the VIN number is on a car? Whether it’s a brand-new car or a pre-owned one, you can easily find it in one of the following ways:

  • Stand outside of your car on the driver’s side and inspect the corner of the dashboard where it and the windshield meet. You should be able to find the VIN there.
  • If you can’t find it on the corner of the dash, open the driver’s side door and check where the door latches. It’s likely shown right there on the door post.

Now that we’ve answered, “Where is the VIN number on a car?” learn more about a VIN and what each number and letter mean below with Spitzer Motors of Mansfield CDJR!

What is a VIN?

VIN stands for ‘vehicle identification number.’ VINs are 17-character codes that are unique to one car. In other words, no two vehicles on the roads of Shelby have the same VIN. Here’s an example of what a VIN looks like:

1G1YZ23J9P5803427

Your car’s VIN can tell you key information, such as the car’s manufacturer, specifications, and features. The VIN can also provide insights into registration information, active recalls, warranty claims, theft, and insurance coverage.

What Do the Different Characters in a VIN Mean?

Each number and letter in a VIN refers to something specific. Here’s a quick breakdown of what type of information each number and letter represents:

  • Character 1: Country
  • Character 2: Manufacturer
  • Character 3: Vehicle Type
  • Character 4: Body Type
  • Character 5: Engine
  • Character 6: Series
  • Character 7: Restraint
  • Character 8: Model
  • Character 9: Check Digit
