Window Sticker Lookup by VIN

What's on a window sticker

The Monroney sticker is the label legally required on every new vehicle. It lists exactly how the vehicle was equipped and priced from the factory:

• MSRP & pricing — The manufacturer's suggested retail price plus the price of every option and package.
• Standard equipment — Everything that came included on the trim from the factory.
• Optional equipment — Factory options and packages that were added, each with its price.
• Fuel economy — The EPA city/highway/combined MPG (or MPGe / range for electrics).
• Safety ratings — NHTSA crash-test star ratings for that model year.
• Warranty — Basic and powertrain warranty coverage as sold.
• Parts content — US/Canadian vs foreign parts content and the country of assembly.
• Assembly plant — Where the vehicle was built — also encoded in the VIN.

How to read a window sticker

Every Monroney label follows the same layout. Here's what each zone tells you, top to bottom:

• Header — year, make, model, trim and body style, plus the exterior and interior colors.
• Standard equipment — everything included on the trim at no extra cost: mechanical, comfort and safety features.
• Optional equipment & packages — factory add-ons listed with individual prices that raise the total.
• Pricing block — base MSRP, each option's price, the destination charge and the Total MSRP.
• Fuel economy label — EPA city / highway / combined MPG (or MPGe and range for EVs) and the estimated annual fuel cost.
• Safety ratings — NHTSA 5-star crash-test scores for that model year.
• Parts content — US/Canadian parts percentage, country of origin and the final assembly plant.
• VIN & barcode — the 17-character VIN that ties the label to that exact vehicle.

Window sticker search by VIN

A window sticker search needs one thing — the seventeen characters of the VIN. There is no registration to fill in, no dealer to call and nothing to pay: the label is rebuilt from federal build records, and the same lookup works whether the car is new, ten years old or already sold twice.

1. Find the VINWindshield on the driver's side, the door-jamb sticker, or your registration document. All three must match — if they don't, stop and check why.
2. Enter it aboveForCar reads the build from NHTSA's vPIC database: engine, body, trim and factory equipment as the plant recorded them.
3. View the stickerOriginal MSRP, standard and optional equipment, EPA fuel economy and crash-test ratings, recreated for that model year.

If the search returns less than you expected, the VIN is usually pre-1981 — the seventeen-character format only became mandatory that year, and federal build records start there. Older vehicles carry shorter numbers that no lookup can expand. See what each character means →

Window sticker vs build sheet

People mix these up — they overlap, but they're not the same.

Enter a VIN above and ForCar pulls the factory build from NHTSA — you get the window-sticker content and the underlying build details (engine, plant, options, paint) in one place, free.

Window stickers for used & older cars

You don't need a brand-new car — ForCar rebuilds the original window sticker for used and older vehicles straight from the VIN.

For most cars, trucks and SUVs from the 1990s onward you'll get full equipment, EPA MPG and safety. Very old or low-volume models may have partial data — you'll still see everything NHTSA holds for that VIN.

A window sticker shows what a car cost new — its original MSRP. To see what the same car is worth now, check what a used car is worth today or browse current market prices. Buying used? Run a free VIN check for its accident, title and theft history first.

Why window stickers exist — the Monroney Act

What the sticker database covers

A Monroney label is only as good as the records behind it. We rebuild it from EPA fuel-economy data, NHTSA ratings and live market prices — here is how far that reaches across 1,315 models, and what kinds of vehicle they are:

1,315 of those 1,315 models (100%) already carry at least one sticker field on file — EPA economy, an NHTSA rating or a market price. The rest still return a rebuilt label by VIN; they just don't have a summary page of their own yet.

Which brands have the original 10

For these makes we pull the genuine factory Monroney label straight from the manufacturer — the exact document that shipped with the car. Free, no signup, any VIN including used cars:

Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, Jeep, Ram, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat and Alfa Romeo — see the table below for the full list with model counts.

Every other brand keeps its stickers private. Toyota, Lexus and Kia closed public access in 2026; Honda, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and the rest never opened it. For those we rebuild the label from NHTSA and EPA records — the layout, fuel economy figures and safety ratings are real, and the option lines are yours to fill in.

2. Door jambOn the driver's door frame, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.

Those seventeen characters carry the build before any sticker is drawn: the free VIN decoder reads the plant, engine, body and model year straight out of the number.
