VIN Number

Each vehicle has its own unique VIN number. This VIN number is made up of 17 characters. They may appear random, but they have specific meanings and are designed to protect the vehicle from theft and fraudulent use.

The first three characters of the VIN indicate where the vehicle was made and the name of the manufacturer. These codes are known as the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI). The characters four through eight provide additional information about the vehicle including its design and features. The ninth character is the security code which ensures that the VIN is valid. The last character is the year in which the vehicle was built.

The VIN number is located in a variety of places on your vehicle. It is typically printed on an adhesive that is visible when you look at the windshield or dashboard. You can also see it on the driver's side door jamb if you open that door and examine the inside.

Before you sign an agreement to purchase a vehicle that is used, be sure to check the VIN.
