The free VIN decoder reads the 17 characters of a model Acura EL VIN and shows who made the car, which model year it carries and in which country it was manufactured. For the car Acura EL we list the production years 1997 - 2000, 1 versions in total, the body styles Sedan and a power figure of 107 hp. From the 17 characters the decoder reads who built the vehicle, in which model year and in which country. The plant can be derived too when the manufacturer encodes it.
The VIN identifies the car but does not describe its life. Records of accidents, mileage, theft or owners have to be looked up separately from the decoding. A quick test for the model Acura EL: the 10th character encodes the model year, so it should fit the year the seller states. Also remember that I, O and Q never occur in a genuine VIN.
