How to Decode Aurora Cars

Vehicle identification numbers, or VINs, provide specific information about your Aurora vehicle. For instance, if you want to get an insurance quote, an insurance agent can use the VIN to get exact specifications for your car and prepare a relevant quote. Decoding templates provide a convenient way to decode your Aurora vehicle on your own.

Instructions

1

Note the first three characters. They represent the World Manufacturer Identification, or WMI. For your Aurora, the WMI is 1G3; "1" for United States, "G" for General Motors" and "3" for Oldsmobile.

2

Characters four and five describe the car line and series: "GS" or "GR" for Auroras.

3

Look at character six to determine the body type, such as "5" for four-door sedan.

4

Character seven describes the restraint system. For instance, "1" means the vehicle has manual seat belts.

5

Character eight identifies the engine type.

6

The ninth character is a check digit used to verify the VIN.

7

Characters 10 and 11 identify the model year and assembly plant, respectively.

8

The final six characters represent the production sequence number.
