thanks

why do you wanna know? I suppose you coudl go over to autotrader or ebay motors and look at 5 or 10 vins and see if you say any "O"s but why would that matter?

To see if a VIN might be fraudulent?

There are zeros in the VIN for my Porsches. Porsche VINs include the number of the car, in other words, the last 4-5 digits tell you what number your car was in production order. (i.e. if the VIN ends with "02673" then that car was the 2,673rd car of that particular model made in that year.)

EDIT: VIN's differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. You have to figure out what the VIN scheme is for the company that made the car before you can figure out if a VIN is valid. Sometimes the VIN scheme will even differ among models from the same company.

VIN check

I don't really know if that site works or not... I just googled it.

There's no letter "O". All other letters and numbers are used.
