Every car Chevrolet Prizm carries a 17-character VIN, and the free decoder on this page turns it into the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data for the model Chevrolet Prizm covers the years 1998 - 2001, with versions in our data: 1. Body styles: Sedan; power: 126 hp. The first three characters identify the manufacturer and region, the 10th stands for the model year, and the 11th often marks the plant.
The decoder stays with the facts stored in the VIN itself. It cannot tell you about accidents, mileage, theft or owners, because that data is not part of the 17 characters. When you look at a car Chevrolet Prizm, compare the VIN stamped or printed on the vehicle with the one in the registration papers, character by character. A single differing character is a reason to ask questions.
