VIN Decoder for First Gen?

I've been using VINDECODERZ to figure out what junk yard Highlanders came with from the factory but it does not break down fabric/leather, paint color, trim level, or interior color.

Is there another decoder that does this?

It would help out my junk yard searches. The chain of yards near me often puts the wrong exterior color in the description. Additionally, there is only one picture (exterior front/drivers) so it is very hard figuring out exactly what they have.

edit - It would be great if I could know whether the HL has third row seating or not.

A phone call to the yard would be faster, the VIN isn't gonna tell ya that. Only other option would be buy a $10 Moroney Sticker on what you think has the best chance of having what ya need. It's a copy of the window sticker based on the VIN , about $10 bucks a pop.

This is a Pick-N-Pull yard, calling will not help. They remove wheels, fluids, and batteries then put then out for people to pick at. They do not visit individual cars once they are on the lot. They regularly remove entire rows and put new vehicles in.

Fabric/leather, paint color, trim level, and interior color info is all contained in the info provided by VinDecoderz but needs to be decoded further. Not sure how to figure out 3rd row status except visually.
