How to Identify the Model of a Car

[AddysonMarie]

Methods to identify a car's model include: checking the vehicle's nameplate, locating the vehicle's factory certificate of compliance, or referring to the purchase contract. The car's nameplate provides detailed information such as the manufacturing date, engine displacement, power, and other parameters. The nameplate is positioned differently in various car models but is commonly found on the lower part of the front passenger door; opening the door will reveal it. The vehicle nameplate is a tag that indicates the basic characteristics of the vehicle. It typically includes the manufacturer's brand, model, engine power, total weight, load capacity or passenger capacity, factory serial number, manufacturing date, and the manufacturer's name. The factory certificate of compliance is usually kept at the vehicle management office, and a copy is provided for retention when purchasing a new car. The purchase contract will specify the model of the car purchased, and inquiries can be made at the point of purchase.
