How to Find What Country a Car Was Made in by the VIN Number by Leonardo R. Grabkowski

Globalization has made it difficult for someone to determine a product's country of origin. In the past, one could assume that a product from an American-based company was built in America; however, this is no longer the case. The same is also true for foreign manufacturers. For example, most Japanese cars were once built in Japan. But Japanese manufacturers now build many of their vehicles in the United States or in other countries. The best way to determine a car's country of origin is to inspect its VIN (vehicle identification number). This number tells you everything you need to know.
