Each character or digit has a particular purpose.
They are as follows:
1 G 1 J F 2 7 W 8 G J 1 7 8 2 2 7
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
Country Manufactured
Manufacturer
Vehicle Type
Vehicle Features
Accuracy Check Digit
Model Year
Production Plant
Sequential Number
The first character vehicle identification number (VIN) serial number identifies the country from which the vehicle was manufactured.
First vehicle identification number digit: U.S.A.(1 or 4), Canada (2), Mexico (3), Japan (J), Korea (K), England (S), Germany (W), Italy (Z)
Second vehicle identification number digit specifies the manufacturer. Audi (A), BMW (B), Buick (4), Cadillac (6), Chevrolet (1), Chrysler (C), Dodge (B), Ford (F), GM Canada (7), General Motors (G), Honda (H), Jaguar (A), Lincoln (L), Mercedes Benz (D), Mercury (M), Nissan (N), Oldsmobile (3), Pontiac (2 or 5), Plymouth (P), Saturn (8), Toyota (T), Volvo (V).
Third vehicle identification number digit indicates the vehicle type or manufacturing division.
Fourth through eighth vehicle identification number digit reveals the vehicle features such as body style, engine type, model, series, etc.
The ninth vehicle identification number digit is a VIN accuracy check digit, verifying the previous VIN numbers. This is how the check digit works
STEP 1
Assign to each number in the VIN its actual mathematical value and assign to each letter the value specified for it in the following chart:
ASSIGNED VALUES:
A=1 G=7 P=7 X=7
B=2 H=8 R=9 Y=8
C=3 J=1 S=2 Z=9
D=4 K=2 T=3
E=5 M=3 U=4
F=6 N=4 V=5
STEP 2
Multiply the assigned value for each character in the VIN by the position weight factor specified in the following chart:
VIN POSITION AND WEIGHT FACTOR:
1st = 8 10th = 9
2nd = 7 11th = 8
3rd = 6 12th = 7
4th = 5 13th = 6
5th = 4 14th = 5
6th = 3 15th = 4
7th = 2 16th = 3
8th = 10 17th = 2
9th = check digit
STEP 3
Add the products from steps 1 and 2 and divide the total by 11.
STEP 4
The numerical remainder is the check digit which would appear in the 9th position in the VIN. If the remainder is 10, then the letter “X” is used for the check digit.
Tenth vehicle identification number digit tells the model year. 1988 (J), 1989 (K), 1990 (L), 1991 (M), 1992 (N), 1993 (P), 1994 (R), 1995 (S), 1996 (T), 199 7(V), 1998 (W), 1999 (X), 2000 (Y)——2001(1), 2002 (2), 2003 (3)
Eleventh vehicle identification number digit reveals the assembly plant for the vehicle.
The twelfth to seventeenth vehicle identification number digits indicate the sequence of the vehicle for production as it rolled of the manufacturers assembly line.

We have a new feature on our website that we are sure you will find useful!
Using this calculator you can check how much it will cost to get vehicles to your port of destination. The calculator is linked from each car detail page on our auction website. The link will pass on the values of the chassis type, m3 size of that car when available along with the average expected selling price of your car. Look out for the link as below.
Although the best way to get accurate data is via the car detail page. We also have a generic version of which you can enter the the input fields car cost, export fees, m3 and dollar yen exchange rate.
Click here to access the car export cost calculator from Japan
If you edit any of the costs/values the costs will update automatically.
Although this feature is working we plan to upgrade its functionality by adding more ports, including allowances for extra costs such as the JEVIC inspection. We hope to offer real time exchange rates, custom costing based on your account preferences and more accurate auction price history data.

Efficient Service
Internet has spread to all over the country and has had a strong impact on the car industry as well.
Dealing with used cars, there is always a “Right Timing” to sell your car and if you miss the “Timing”, those cars always stay in a long period of time.
In stead of waiting for your car to arrive at your yard after shipping and take photos & upload your car onto your website hoping to sell shortly. It might be too late.
B-spex provides photos of your car shortly after we receive and send them to you. Then you can use those photos to sell. It might sell before you receive your car. In fact, this does happen to many of our dealers.
After car service is also very important. If any parts are needed, quotation of parts will be sent by email after receiving the full chassis number the model code.
We even care on the small thing like, shift knob, main master key, remote control of stereo, any small things inside of your, we take those and send by air Currier, just to prevent from stealing or any fraud.
