Enter the 17-character VIN of a Buick Regal and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, with no registration and no fee. Our data covers 16 Regal versions, from Buick Regal I Coupe to Buick Regal V Sedan, with model years from 1973 to 2020, Sedan, Coupe and Wagon bodies, and power from 86 to 310 hp.
A VIN does not record accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, so the decoder cannot speak to any of those. Check the decoded model year against the registration and the body style, and if you want the car's past, that information comes from a paid vehicle history report.

A VIN is built from six parts, and each one says something about the vehicle. Our guides explain how to read it and what it can and cannot tell you.
Enter the 17-character VIN and see the factory basics in seconds.
Our data lists model years 1973 - 2020 across 16 versions of the Buick Regal. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.
16 versions, in 3 body styles, with power up to 310 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.
The tenth character gives the model year, which narrows the list of versions in our data, for example Regal II Coupe or Regal II Station Wagon. The body style on the car and in the registration then settles which one it is, including facelift versions such as the 1976 and 1981 Coupes.
All 17 characters must match exactly on the plate, the registration and the sales paperwork, and none of them should be I, O or Q. Then check that the decoded model year, body style and power fit what the documents describe. Our data runs from 86 to 310 hp.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or how many owners the car has had, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also cannot read the older numbers properly: cars built before 1981 do not carry a 17-character VIN, and our data starts at model year 1973.
