Want to be a hero at your next barbecue? Check the VIN of any Nissan you see. It’s like a secret handshake.
If the VIN starts with a 1, it’s from the USA (Tennessee or Mississippi). If it’s a 4, it’s also from the USA (Indiana or other plants). A J? Japan. A 3? Mexico. Boom—instant car genius status.
You can also look at the window sticker. Federal law requires the “Final Assembly Point” to be listed. So next time you’re at a dealership, you can walk up to a salesman and say, “I’d like to see the VIN, please.” Then watch them panic because you’re too cool. You’re welcome.
