How to Determine if a Car is Imported?

[MacBeau]

There are several methods to determine whether a car is imported: 1. Check the brand: Some car brands are exclusively imported, such as Lexus, Porsche, Ferrari, and the Mercedes-AMG series—these can be directly identified as imported vehicles. 2. Examine the model: Brands like Audi, Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz have both imported and domestically produced (joint venture) models. 3. Look at the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): The VIN, located at the lower right corner of the windshield, starts with 'L' for domestically produced cars, other letters for imported cars, and 'LB' for joint venture vehicles. 4. Inspect the vehicle's nameplate: The nameplate explicitly states the manufacturing location of the car.
