As title says.

Also, from a VIN, is it possible to ascertain the vehicle is a carbon edition?

Many thanks

You can pay for TIS (Toyota's technical system) access and get details about the car including build date and all options/accessories.

$15 gets you 2 day access.

Thank you so much for that!

I presume although it states ‘Marketed in North America’ the system will have details of all RC-Fs (as I am based in the UK).

Also, do you know if the system is flexible enough to make queries such as ‘List all white RCF carbons’?

Thanks again!!

Sorry, it doesn't let you search VINs, simply enter a single one at a time. You can use the system to access the repair and collision manuals as well. Well worth it once you have a car and plan on doing some work.

I assume this ties into your other thread on Breakdown by Country?

Are you looking to purchase something extraordinary where you live perhaps?
