Check options using VIN number
There has to be a way or site to check what factory options a car has. I'm looking for somewhere that has the codes that go into a VIN number to help read a VIN number for an LS400 i'm looking at.
I'm not looking for a Carfax rather what options the car came with from the factory or what package it has.
Any help? And yes, I did use the search function.

Gives basic info on the car...
Example on what my report said:
Year 1990 Invoice $32,265.00
Make Lexus MSRP $40,450.00
Model LS 400 Forced Induction No
Delivery $350.00 Size 4.0L/242 CID
Trim w/Luxury Group Engine Type 8 Cylinder Engine
Style 4-Door Sedan w/Luxury Group (CA)
Hope it helps!

A VIN number does not contain information about vehicle options. I know from being involved for a number of years in the automated rating of vehicles for insurance purposes. Trust me, insurance companies sure wish the VIN contained this information.
A Lexus dealer might be able to look up a car for you or you could visually inspect the car verifying which options the car has. The option lists for all Lexus cars ever sold in the U.S. are on the Lexus corporate website although there are some errors in the option lists.
For example, here are the specs and options for my 00 LS: http://www.lexus.com/contact/pdf/2000/2000LSspecs.pdf
Over type the two model years (i.e. 2000) and the model (LS) in the above URL to see the specs for Lexus cars from 1990 - 2005. You can see the specs for newer cars in the CPO library on http://www.lexus.com

Here's the community Lexus VIN decoder. It shows a list of factory options for some US and EU models. The service is free.

They can also tell you how your vehicle was optioned.
After all, it is their interest to get it right the first time.

As a "back from the dead" thread - I built a tool that can give JSON response formats to decode the VINs of almost any 2006+ Lexus. It works on Desktop only, but try it here!

On the other hand, I tried that community VIN decoder listed by masterfx, and it says I have a very rare LS400, with a 3.0L inline 6 engine. I'd take it though, because it also says the horsepower is 5600.

Resurrecting an old thread here. This tool no longer works for Lexus.
Actually, the whole page was move to some Carvana.com website which does not support Lexus or Toyota.
Any equivalent VIN-to-Window sticker tool available elsewhere for Lexus??
Thanks
