Question 1

What is a VIN number?

Accepted Answer

A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code assigned to every motor vehicle. It encodes information about the manufacturer, model, year, place of assembly, and a unique serial number. You can find it on the dashboard, the driver-side door jamb sticker, or your vehicle registration.
