What is the Year, Make, Model, and Style?*
*To find the year, make, model, and style of your car reliably, here are five methods:
-
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):
-
The VIN is a unique 17-character code typically found on the dashboard near the windshield, inside the driver's door frame, or in vehicle documents. You can decode it using online VIN decoders to get the exact year, make, model, and style of your car.
-
-
Registration and Title Documents:
-
Your car's registration or title paperwork will list the year, make, model, and style information. These documents are provided when you purchase the vehicle or when it's registered with the DMV.
-
-
Owner’s Manual:
-
The owner’s manual that comes with your car often includes the year, make, and model, as well as information on different trim levels and styles.
-
-
Manufacturer’s Sticker or Plate:
-
Many cars have a manufacturer’s sticker or plate located in the driver’s side door jamb. This sticker contains information about the vehicle’s year, make, model, and other specifications.
-
-
Insurance Card or Policy:
-
Your auto insurance documents will also include your car’s make, model, and year. These documents are tied to the car’s VIN and are verified when the policy is issued.
