Want to figure out the details of a Mitsubishi from its identification number? Use this easy guide to understand a Mitsubishi vehicle's pedigree. Knowing the details hidden in the vehicle ID can save you money buying a Mitusbishi and earn more selling one.
Each digit in a Mitsubishi VIN means something. For example, the first digit is a number that represents the country of final assembly (4 means US). The 11th digit, a letter, represents the factory where the vehicle was made (Z=Okazaki, Japan).

and pick the model year that interests you.
Use the information to drive a hard bargain if you are buying and support your desired price if you are selling. For example, a vehicle manufactured in the early part of a model year may not be worth the same as one made later in the model year. Sometimes, features may have changed mid-year, or a defect corrected that an early vehicle may require a recall to mend.
