• decoding Kia VIN 10 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  After 8 weeks of dispute between my new car supplier and Kia regarding the origin of my car I'm getting desperate. One swears it's a fully warranted European model imported last year, the other insists its a grey import with no warranty. Having browsed many internet sites I have found a lot of examples of VIN numbers matched with cars for sale and I think I've found how to decode most of the number.
