Thanks Ala_xfire.

I actually decoded the VIN on several sites and I did the decode manually with the kelp of jalopnik dot com in this artificial;

deadspin-quote-carrot-aligned-w-bgr-2

In the VIN the first 3 letters/numbers are Make/Model: (Digits 1-3) This breaks out the vehicle's make, model, and manufacturer. In my case the VIN is 1C3AN69L74X007275 with the 1 being the country where it was made/assembled. I also confirmed the information on a few sites including;

The first digit in the make code will always be the country of manufacture. There are numerous country codes, but the most common ones are:
  • USA: 1, 4 or 5
  • Canada: 2
  • Mexico: 3
  • Japan: J
  • Korea: K
  • England: S
  • Germany: W
  • Italy: Z
  • Sweden: Y
  • Australia: 6
  • France: V
  • Brazil: 9
I give Jalopnik full credit for this info.


I would encourage everyone to have a look. Might save you from a "lipstick on a pig" situation.
