Generate a Window Sticker for a Vehicle

The window sticker is the factory’s record of how a vehicle was built. Generating it takes a VIN and a few seconds, and it removes the need to enter the options by hand.

Enter the VIN and Vehicle Fair Trade looks up the OEM window sticker for that vehicle: the trim, factory options, and original MSRP. Use it to confirm the build and pre-fill the evaluation, so the options on the appraisal match the actual vehicle.

Step 1: Enter the VIN

Open a New Evaluation and start with the 17-character VIN, the same one you would decode for an evaluation. The sticker is tied to that exact VIN, so it retrieves the build for that specific unit.

Step 2: Generate the window sticker

Select Window sticker. Vehicle Fair Trade looks up the OEM window sticker for the VIN and shows the factory build: the trim, standard equipment, factory-installed options and packages, and the original MSRP. A preview is also available if you want to check a build without starting a full appraisal.

Step 3: Use it to pre-fill the evaluation

The factory options carry into the evaluation, so you do not retype the engine and option list, and you do not estimate the trim. The standard fields are correct by default, which leaves your time for the walk-around.

What it is good for, and what it is not

The sticker confirms the factory build. It does not show aftermarket or dealer-installed extras, and it says nothing about current condition. For a full explanation of why the build matters to your number, see the OEM window stickers overview.
