Lexus Vin decode where you could put in a Lexus vin and it would tell you what year it was made and so on.
Has this feature been removed for Lexus resources?

Thanks,
Dave

 

Here's one of many places you can check your VIN for your car's specs: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/vindecoder.php
There are many others. Just search for: Lexus VIN decoder
Good luck!

 

That link says my vin is invalid wtf?

 

Your VIN should consist of 5 alpha characters, followed by 2 numbers, followed by 1 Alpha character, and then 9 numbers similar to this: ABCDE12F345678901 (At lease that's how mine looks on my 2003 ES300). Double check your VIN and try at that same site above or this one where you have to register to get your info. This site will have complete service info on your car if it's been serviced at a Lexus dealer as well as all the specifications for your particular car.

Good luck!

 

Thanks, But "LEXUS" had a site where you could plug in a vin and voila, they must of taken it down.

 

That's in the link directly mentioned above under vehicle specifications. It is a "Lexus" site.

Not trying to be difficult but the Lexus site at least as I can tell doesn't have the ability to check a vin.

But Thanks,

The other site sufficed and at least told me the RX350 I was looking at was a 2wd and not 4wd.

 

DAVEGS4: Thanks for backing me up on this one. Thought I messed something up.

HAGAR: This (below) is the Lexus site that you indicated might have been taken down: It was quoted in my previous post.. Did you try it? As I said, you had to sign up to get to the VIN part. It's pretty thorough. Did you also check your VIN number to be sure you had it correct? It works for my car. Good luck.

Sorry but you are incorrect. You need to sign in and associate the vehicle VIN to your account first.

https://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrive.../vehicle-specs

It's got all the details including drivetrain, factory and port options, date of order, date of first use, plant it was made in, etc.

There are no other Lexus sites that I've heard of that let you do this. There are others you can get the monroney label (some free, some paid) as well, but not via Lexus.

 

Sorry, but you are correct. however, as I saw it, I needed to add to my garage and then delete it I guess.

Not what I remembered in how it use to work, but none the less, thanks for trying to help out, wait you did help.

Thanks

 

I think the feature is gone. Yes, you do have to add the car to your garage in order to see the service history. But it has gotten worse. They are now concealing all dealer identification on service history, a tool which I have found helpful in the past. Also, they are incorrectly representing the selling dealer, as I discovered when I was trying to research my girl.friend's GX. I fired off a testy email to Lexus that it looks shady and they are taking tools away from us as shoppers of used cars. I got a response from customer service that they confirmed it was missing and were forwarding my concerns to marketing. We'll see.

The info you seek is still there, under "vehicle specifications".

 

I cannot add a vehicle to my profile for some reason. Tried in Chrome, Safari and mobile Safari. The Lexus website is truly an example of form before functionality. Except the form is not so good either.

 

Which browser are you using? You should try using your browser in "Incognito" mode or "Private" mode or whatever mode depending on your browser that will eliminate add-ons and extensions that act as Ad Blockers.

 

I appreciate the suggestion, unfortunately it still does not work. I tried both Chrome and Safari incognito. I'm getting 2 types of errors, sometimes I cannot even log in and when it does log in, I get the pop up where you can enter your VIN... but it seems to be glitching and blinking, not allowing me to enter the VIN and/or hit submit. I checked and pop-ups are enabled and there are no extensions to either browser.
