Getting vehicle spec etc from a VIN number
« on: 13 December 2021, 09:46:44 AM »
Hi all,

is there any system we can search to find out the basic spec of a vehicle, including paint and trim codes?

I was asking a breakers on Ebay about whether a Saab they were breaking, what the paint code was, and they said they couldn't determine it, but gave me the VIN in case I could find out that way.

If it’s a 9-3 like yours the paint and trim code is on the label on the glove box lid.
