Infiniti G37 VIN Number Location
Where to find the VIN on a G37
The G37 was discontinued after 2013, making remaining examples over a decade old. The VIN sits on a plate at the base of the driver's side windshield, with a door jamb sticker and trunk lid label as secondary locations. The firewall in the engine compartment carries a stamp. G37 was a popular performance sedan, VIN checks frequently surface suspension damage and structural claims from enthusiast driving. Convertible variants add a secondary label inside the trunk area.
The VIN also appears on the vehicle registration, insurance documents, and title. All locations should match. A mismatch between VIN plates is a potential indicator of a rebuilt or salvage vehicle.

Run the VIN through the NHTSA recall lookup, including the seat sensor and power window recalls on coupes. Check that the air bag light goes out after starting and that the passenger air bag indicator works with someone in the seat. Look over the dashboard for cracks. Make sure the steering unlocks and the car starts every time.
