Methods to determine if a car is imported: 1. Check the brand: Some car brands are exclusively imported, such as Lexus, Porsche, Ferrari, and the Mercedes-AMG series. Seeing these brands can directly indicate that the vehicle is imported; 2. Check the model: For brands like Audi, Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes, some models are imported while others are domestically produced (joint venture); 3. Check the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): The VIN, also known as the chassis number, starts with 'L' for domestically produced cars, other letters indicate imported cars, and 'LB' denotes joint venture cars. The VIN is usually located at the bottom right corner of the front windshield; 4. Check the vehicle's nameplate: The nameplate typically states the manufacturing location of the car.
