Attempted hijackings
The VIN code is a kind of indelible “stamp”. It cannot be displayed or removed and therefore the car is easy to detect. Not only law enforcement agencies know this, but also car thieves. According to statistics, marked cars are stolen 79% less often than unmarked ones. Moreover, the found cars in 85 cases out of 100 are equipped with a VIN code. Stealing a marked car is not profitable for car thieves: the risk is high, and the profit is approximately 12-15% less than expected. The fact is that marked glass and mirrors will have to be removed and replaced with unmarked ones. If you sell a car for spare parts, then hardly anyone will buy the “tagged” glass and they will have to be thrown away without receiving money for them. In some cases, VIN marking is beneficial due to insurance: when insuring a car, the presence of a VIN code can significantly reduce the cost of a CASCO insurance policy (Certain insurance companies provide a discount of up to 35% of the insurance premium)

About the manufacturer Toyota
The Toyota company began its activities by manufacturing looms, and only in 1933 a car assembly workshop was opened.
Today, Toyota is the largest corporation, producing more than a dozen car models and supplying products to almost every corner of the planet. The main office of the company is based in the city of the same name, Toyota.
The Second World War had a negative impact on the company's work, and production was completely restored only by 1956. A year later, deliveries began to the USA and Brazil, and after another 5 years - to Europe.
By 2007, Toyota had earned the title of the largest automobile manufacturer and has successfully held it to this day.
Certain difficulties arose in the periods of 2008-2009, when, due to the financial crisis, the concern ended the year with losses, but after some time the company managed to outsell such giants as General Motors and Volkswagen.
By 2015, Toyota brand cars were recognized as the most expensive and in demand in the premium segment.
The main activity of the enterprise is the production of cars and buses.
The main machine production facilities are located in Japan, but the concern's factories are scattered throughout the world.
Production takes place in the following countries:
- Thailand (Samut Prakan);
- USA (Kentucky);
- Indonesia (Jakarta);
- Canada (Ontario) and others.
The concern's products are sent to Japan (about 45%), North America (about 13%), Asia, Europe and other regions of the world. Toyota dealerships for sales and service are open in several dozen countries, and their number is only growing.
Toyota Camry XV50 – VIN location and engine number
It must be remembered that in the Toyota Camry, forensic markings are the easiest to find, but the most difficult to check, since there are a lot of stolen cars and not only amateurs, but also real professionals who know how to efficiently “re-glue” the strip with the VIN number, are engaged in “repainting”. By the way, in the Camry XV50 it is located under the front passenger seat:
To properly check the Camry before purchasing, the seller should be warned that it is simply necessary to remove the decorative door sill trim, since there is no other way to determine the originality of the fasteners. You can, of course, bend the carpet a little, but the view will be extremely limited:
The duplicate nameplate on the left central pillar is well protected from re-sticking and counterfeiting:
Marking under ultraviolet light
A mark glowing in ultraviolet light borders the sign and failure to fall within the boundaries may mean the presence of crime. The symbols themselves are machined (concave, not convex), and can be felt with your fingers. The encoded information about the gearbox, interior and exterior color must match the vehicle. Check and do not forget to check the year of manufacture of seat belts:
And, of course, computer diagnostics are mandatory, where in a Toyota that is reliable in terms of electronics, the VIN should be checked first:
Engine number Toyota Camry XV50 (1AZ, 2GR, 2AR, 6AR)
Regardless of the engine and year of manufacture of the Toyota Camry XV50, the engine number can be found here in the same place (the left front part of the cylinder block near the gearbox) with the only difference being that for in-line “fours” 2.0 (1AZ, 6AR), 2.5 (2AR) it will be much easier to establish visual contact with the markings:
It is more difficult to see and photograph the engine number of the V-shaped 3.5-liter 2GR - the small distance between the “TV” and the engine itself interferes, so for now there is only a diagram:

Where is the engine number

The engine number is needed in order to register the car. When buying a vehicle secondhand, you need to make sure that the number stamped on the engine and the code indicated in the title match.
Competitors
The next economic crisis forces all new models to leave our market, and those that remain have to save on something. In principle, this phenomenon was reflected in the 11th generation Corolla. In the golf class, in addition to the used E180, you can still consider the youth Mazda 3, the family Skoda Octavia, the strict Ford Focus, or take a look at the technologically advanced, but damn dangerous Volkswagen Golf 7 and Jetta. In terms of comfort, reliability and many other qualities, the “Japanese” is actively being squeezed by the Korean Kia Cerato, Ceed and Hyundai Elantra. The most important thing is that there is a choice.
