Hey everyone.
So as the title says, where does a vehicle recieve its vin number?
Is it from the factory?
The reason I ask is because I ordered a civic 3 weeks ago. They told me because the hatch is made in the UK, it might be 6 to 12 weeks for delivery, which I accepted.
They told me, once they recieved the VIN, they would give it to me for insurance purposes.
During the deal the general manager of the dealership told me he found the model I wanted on the boat already and that I could possibly have it by months end.
He wont know the official delivery date until he receives the VIN.
I started wondering, how could he know the model I want is currently on a boat, but not know the VIN number associated with it.
Is a vin number allocated to a vehicle when it hits the country it's going to be sold in? Or at the factory, dealership, etc?
Cheers.
