Hi,
I'm buying new evo 8 soon and I want to check if all the VIN location has original VIN attached.
Can you guys please tell me all the locations?
So far I read

Engine and Tranny = lower driver side corner next to header
Front Fenders = Under the hood where lip where the hood closes

Please let me know on other location
Supposedly car is clean title wo any accident.

Thanks in advance.

 

one on the dash, and the doors, one on the trunk i believe. Check out the service manual, there's several of them all over the body.

 

all the VIN's are in easy-to-find places, you can easily see them all without knowing where they are just by doing a quick one-over of the car

 

there are stickers on the front bumper and fenders. also check the seams in the trunk and spare tire well area for anything funny. check the jack points for slash marks - these indicate the frame was straightened.

 

definitely will check fir jack point.
any other tips?
by looking at report car was on lien and, missing like 6 years of report.
is this safe to buy?

 

That is definitely something to be concerned about. What history report are you using? Carfax, Autocheck? The only vehicles you could have years of no data on older vehicles built over 10 years ago. Most of the reporting agencies only guarantee the info going back 10 years.

 

car is sold but i was using car fax.
there were some questionable stuff with the car condition.
owner said it was garage kept but brembos were completely faded

ill start looking for another

Hello everyone, I have checked all the place but cant find the VIN. Can any one please help me out to find a JDM Evo 9 MR VIN location ?

Thanx In Advance

 

my vw that i bought 6 years ago had 3 years missin on its report. come to find out the car was repo'ed for non payment and sat in the banks storage for those 3 years before being sold. so missing info is not ALWAYS bad but try to dig to find out why its not there.

 

check the doorjam on the drivers side

 

I have checked there is noting in door jam of driver side. Any other suggestions ?

 

If you cant find the vin anywhere on thats car leave it the ****s probably stolen.

 

if its not on the door jam it may have been in an accident and they never replaced it...... u need to look more than one place for it though.

 

I import it from Japan for me then how come its STOLEN ? & This car don’t have any accident history i checked it.
