The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), composed of alphanumeric codes, is a simple and reliable way to classify vehicles. Each of its symbols identifies specific vehicle data. Checking the complete set of the car by its VIN-number will allow you to find out which parts were used during its assembly and avoid fraudulent purchase.
Instructions
Step 1
Ask your dealer to provide you with the technical documentation for the vehicle. The complete set can also be specified in the sales contract. If the contract itself lists only the basic options, ask for an additional agreement to it, which will indicate all additionally installed equipment.
Step 2
Search the internet for spare parts catalogs. Select your car make and model. In the table that opens, find the VIN of the engine of your car. Open the link with the modification that matches the number. By choosing the category of goods you are interested in, you will receive information about a specific spare part.
Step 3
Use special programs that allow you to determine the complete set of a car of a certain brand by its VIN-number or VIN-code check services. Ask for help from forum participants who own the same make and model of car. It is quite possible that they will be able to determine the configuration by photographing the interior and dashboard. If you have friends who work in a car service, you can contact them with this question.
Step 4
Find out the equipment in the catalogs of cars, compiled on the basis of the official catalogs of manufacturers. In addition to the equipment, you can find technical specifications, information about the colors in which the car was painted, photos of the interior and body.
