please educate us and tell us what a vin decoder is?? i have an idea.. but what do you mean by getting one?
i mean there's the JTK which basically means made in Japan, from Toyota, and it's a passenger car
DE177 is the type of car model wise..
and then the rest is the check digit, year made, assembly plant and the serial number..
