Komeuppance Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Let's see who's got the low serial number cars out there. Just because. 1983-1985: Serial number is last 5 digits of your vin, after the letter Z and (4,5,7 or 8) 1986-1989: Serial number is last 6 digits of your vin, after the letter Z. EDIT: You can check manufacture date by opening your door and looking at the door jam. (Your vin number is there too, kill two birds with one stone.) Model: Starion Flatty Year: 85.5 Manufacture Date: May 1985 Serial Number: 20057 Model: Conquest Widebody Year: 1986 Manufacture Date: Sept 1985 Serial Number: 017237 -Robert Edited July 17, 2008 by Komeuppance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example: U.S.A.(1or 4), Canada(2), Mexico(3), Japan(J), Korea(K), England(S), Germany(W), Italy(Z) 2nd character- Identifies the manufacturer. For example; Audi(A), BMW(B ), Buick(4), Cadillac(6), Chevrolet(1), Chrysler©, Dodge(B ), Ford(F), GM Canada(7), General Motors(G), Honda(H), Jaquar(A), Lincoln(L), Mercedes Benz(D), Mercury(M), Nissan(N), Oldsmobile(3), Pontiac(2or5), Plymouth(P), Saturn(8), Toyota(T), VW(V), Volvo(V). 3rd character- Identifies vehicle type or manufacturing division. 4th to 8th characters- VDS - Vehicle Descriptor Section. These 5 characters occupy positions 4 through 8 of the VIN and may be used by the manufacturer to identify attributes of the vehicle. Identifies vehicle features such as body style, engine type, model, series, etc. 9th Character - The check digit "character or digit 9" in the sequence of a vehicle identification number (VIN) built beginning with model year 1981 (when the 17 character digit format was established) can best be described as identifying the VIN accuracy. A check digit shall be part of each vin (since 1981) and shall appear in position nine (9) of the VIN on the vehicle and on any transfer documents containing the vin prepared by the manufacturer to be given to the first owner for purposes other than resale. Thus, the vins of any two vehicles manufactured within a 30 year period shall not be identical. The check digit means a single number or letter "x" used to verify the accuracy of the transcription of the vehicle identification number. After all other characters in the VIN have been determined by the manufacturer the check digit is calculated by carrying out a mathematical computation specified. This is based on vin position, sample vin, assigned value code, weight factor and multiply assigned value times weight factors. The values are added and the total is divided by 11. The remainder is the check digit number. The correct numeric remainder - zero through nine (0-9) will appear. However, if the remainder is 10 the letter "X" is used to designate the check digit value/number. 10th character- Identifies the model year. For example: 1988(J), 1989(K), 1990(L), 1991(M), 1992(N), 1993(P), 1994®, 1995(S), 1996(T), 1997(V), 1998(W), 1999(X), 2000(Y)------2001(1), 2002(2), 2003(3) 11th character- Identifies the assembly plant for the vehicle. 12th to 17th characters- VIS - Vehicle Identifier Section. The last 8 characters of the VIN are used for the identification a of specific vehicle. The last four characters shall always be numeric. Identifies the sequence of the vehicle for production as it rolled off the manufacturers assembly line." http://www.vinguard.org/vin.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo G54B Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) A = Audi ??? "A" can also signify Jaguar. It just depends in what country and/or year the car was manufactured to distinguish between letters that are the same. But here we're just looking at the last five digits for '82-'85 or six digits for '86-'89 which is the production number. So yours would be the 36,843rd Starion produced of whichever year yours is from, if I'm not mistaken. Edited July 18, 2008 by Turbo G54B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
