VIN VDS Table



After the WMI (either WBA or WBS) in your 17 DIGIT VIN comes the VDS ..

The first 4 characters of the VDS tell you what type of car you have ..

Here's the table I've come up with ...

Feel free to fill in the question marks ;)

If you have a car that either is not IN the table, or doesn't match,
especially a Grey-Market car ... email me with pertinent info!!

Enjoy!
