¿Qué es el VIN de un Cadillac?

Henry Ford founded Cadillac in 1902, and was kicked out of his own company for mismanagement. General Motors bought the company in 1909, positioning it as their most luxurious model line. They backed their claim of being the “Standard of the World” with several firsts, including the first synchromesh transmission and the first dual plane V8. After WWII, Harley Earl's radical designs made Cadillac America's most desirable luxury brand. The brand floundered in the 80s and 90s, before finding its footing with the massively successful Escalade SUV and a shift from land yachts to sporty luxury cars. Today, the brand is best known for its luxury SUVs and high performance “V” sports sedans.

Buying any car is a big decision, especially if it's a luxury car. Take the stress out of your next purchase by using the VIN decoder Cadillac drivers turn to for accurate information: EpicVIN. Our Cadillac VIN lookup decodes each character, telling you when and where the vehicle was built, as well as its standard equipment.

For over four decades, all vehicles in the U.S. have been issued a 17 digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number.) The VIN is unique to each vehicle, so it's used as an ID on official documents. However, it's more than a serial number. Most of the VIN number is used to identify manufacturing details. Our Cadillac VIN number lookup tells you what these characters mean, so you can verify the vehicle you're looking at is authentic.

Worried about buying a lemon? Order a VIN report. As an official NMVTIS source, we're able to access government and commercial databases, allowing us to create a full history of the vehicle. This includes vehicle owner lookup for the current owner, accident reports, title changes and more. With this information, you can avoid cars with issues like outstanding liens and salvage titles.

Búsqueda por VIN de Cadillac

Why should you run VIN checks when you're shopping for your next ride? VIN numbers are issued by Cadillac at the factory, providing an easy way to authenticate vehicles. This helps you narrow down your search to cars with the equipment you want. This is especially important for valuable models like Cadillac's “V” cars, which unscrupulous owners may try to fake.

Don't forget we do more than Cadillacs. EpicVIN's search tools let you look up any highway-legal vehicle. so you can use our site to run an ATV, RV, heavy duty truck or motorcycle VIN check.

¿Dónde buscar el VIN?

How do you get this code to run a DMV VIN check? Here are some places you can find this number on a Cadillac:

  • Look through the windshield at the dashboard. You should see a small plate next to the driver's door. The number on this plate is the VIN. If you're looking at a newer model, the lower part of the windshield is usually blacked out. Look for a small, clear rectangle in this area. You can see the VIN plate through this slot.
  • Open the driver's door. Depending on the year, there will be a sticker on the side of the B pillar between the doors, or just below the door latch. The VIN is printed in bold text on the middle left side of this sticker.
  • Open the glove box and look for a “Service Parts Identification” sticker. The VIN is on the top left of this sticker.
  • Look at the left side of the engine block. The VIN is etched into the block, either below the head or above the oil pan.
  • The VIN is often etched into the windows at the dealer, so these parts can be tracked if they're stolen. However, if a salvage part was used for accident repairs, it won't have the correct VIN for the vehicle.
  • Check the title, insurance cards, and registration. These documents use the VIN to identify the vehicle.

Don't have the VIN? Our license plate lookup finds the VIN of the car currently registered to the plate. From there, our search engine can decode this number.

What information is encoded in the VIN number? Here's how Cadillac uses each character to describe their vehicles.

First character: Manufacturing Country

1, 4 or 5 is used for vehicles built in the USA

Preguntas frecuentes

Las ubicaciones cambian de un fabricante a otro, pero hay tres zonas en las que se puede encontrar el código en la mayoría de los vehículos:

- Mira en el salpicadero a través del parabrisas. En el lado del conductor, deberías ver una pequeña placa metálica con el número estampado en ella.
- Abre la puerta del conductor. Busca una pegatina de identificación en la parte frontal y en el lateral del marco de la puerta. Suele incluir el logo del fabricante. El código debería aparecer en esa pegatina.
- Abre el capó. Puede que veas una pegatina en el cortafuegos o al lado de la barra antitorsión del lado del pasajero. Algunos autos tienen el número grabado en una de estas partes.

Puesto que este número se usa para identificar al vehículo en documentos oficiales, también lo puedes encontrar en el título, la pegatina de la ventana y las pólizas de seguros.

También decodificamos números de vehículos recreativos, camiones pesados y motos. Si necesitas decodificar el número de un vehículo recreativo, asegúrate de que sea el emitido por el fabricante del chasis, no el del proveedor de servicios de equipamiento adicional.

No. Los vehículos canadienses y mexicanos suelen tener el mismo formato. Otros países utilizan sus propios formatos.

Es el fabricante quien determina lo que se incluye en algunas partes del número. Por ejemplo, algunas empresas no incluyen información sobre la transmisión o los niveles de equipamiento.

Normalmente, no. Hay pocos fabricantes que estampan el código dentro del motor. En esos casos, si el VIN del motor y el del auto coinciden, se trata del motor original. En cambio, en la mayoría de los vehículos no hay nada que vincule un motor a un vehículo específico. Como mucho, buscar el vehículo en nuestra web te dirá si se ha instalado otro tipo de motor. Por ejemplo, si alguien pone un V8 en un Ford Mustang, nuestra página te dirá que originalmente traía un V6.
