use the SEARCH feature FFS!

i just posted about this a month ago and here's the solution:


where it says "C/TR" at the bottom left is your Exterior Color / Interior Trim Color

this sticker is inside your driver door at the bottom

The 10th character in the VIN is the year model. The first character is the orgin. J is for Japan. 1 & 4 is US. There's probably more, just google it.

3rd Generation

I created an Excel file helping to decrypt VIN for Toyota cars. It is based on Wikipedia.

I hope it helps.
