I was a tech in the dealership, and went to tech school for r but I am no expert by any means anymore. The very first # in the vin is te country code for where it was built.
1 is US 2 Canada, 3 Mexico, the rest I kind have forgotten but I think Japan is 4 or 6, as well as Australia 8 get those mixed up. If you can find an SS or a g8 then take a look.
Or a Honda of Mitsubishi or something like that. The second digit or number is the manufacturer code. Tells you the brand.
The 10th digit or letter is the year the car was built. The 8th digit is the engine code.
I only know these 3 because as a tech I dealt most with te 8th and 10th digit. Every digit or letter has a meaning. What are you trying to find out? I have it all in my book and I can look for you.
