ravenmaster · 03-10-2008, 10:36 PM

I searched on this however could not find anything and if its been posted before sry. But you can not do a search for just 3 letters. Anyway does anyone know where to find an automatic VIN decoder. I went to toyota and they were no help, they just gave me a printout on what came stock on the car and no other info. Anyway if anyone could help me out, (please no links to manual decoders, they dont seem to be any help)
Thanks guys,

What exactly do you need to know?

I can give an example of my old cars VIN

JT2MA67L9F0151972

J means the car was made in Japan. Most Domestic cars' VIN numbers begin witha number if they were made in the USA.

T is manufacturer, Toyota.

2 is vehicle type, in this case, passenger car

MA67L

is the body line, series, body type, engine type and restraint system

the 9th digit is the check digit

the 10th digit indicated model year, in this case F = 1985

the 11th digit is the assembly plant. it is believed all Toyotas are coded 0

The last 6 digits are assembly line build numbers, meaning my car was the 151,972nd Supra made.
