Did You Know?

Every motor vehicle, trailer, motorcycle and moped has a VIN number.

In 1980 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration dictated that all new vehicles sold in the U.S. have a 17 digit VIN.

A VIN can describe the Year, Make, Model of a vehicle. It also specifies the body style, engine, and assembly plant. The VIN can tell you if your vehicle has been stolen, in an accident or subject to a recall.

Since it is used for title and registration purposes it also contains registration information.

And you thought it was just an annoying set of numbers and letters your insurance agent needed to provide an insurance quote.
