Things to Know Before You Buy

The Automobile Information Disclosure Act of 1958 mandated that every new car in the U.S. comes with a window sticker containing important information about the vehicle, including:
  • The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP)
  • Engine and transmission specifications
  • Standard equipment and warranty details
  • Optional equipment and pricing
  • City and highway fuel economy ratings, as determined by the Environmental Protection Agency
Our website provides a digital copy of the original window sticker based on a VIN number. You will see the window sticker in your browser, and you can share and download it in PDF format.

Our website digitizes the original factory sticker, so it fits on your desktop, phone or tablet. You can print it and share it in a readable format that's easy to use.

All of our window sticker data is based on how the car was equipped when it was manufactured. Our data comes from the manufacturers, and we do not use statistics, algorithms, probability, nor weighted analysis to guess at an answer. We do not use artificial intelligence to source or process the data.

It depends on the manufacturer of the vehicle. Go to our Covered Brands Page to see whether we have the window sticker for your vehicle.

Yes, it will. The window sticker will show your car's base MSRP, any installed option packages, the destination charge, and the total MSRP when new.

Our service digitizes the window sticker so what was once a flat document becomes readable, searchable text that reflows on any device.

Our Reflow Technology means you can share the digitized window sticker with any potential car buyer or seller, and it will be appear already formatted to fit on their device. If you prefer to share a paper copy, you can print the window sticker on your home printer.

Our service supports most U.S. vehicles. Go to our Covered Brands Page to see whether we have the window sticker for your vehicle.

In rare cases, we don't have a window sticker for a vehicle even though it is in our list of Covered Brands. For example, if the vehicle was a special-order or a foreign import. If that happens to you, you will not be charged for the window sticker.

Our mission is to match the window sticker exactly. We've built our service from scratch to match the look, feel, and content of the original window sticker word-for-word while adding new features and capabilities.

Our data comes from vehicle-data providers and manufacturers so it always matches the equipment and options on the vehicle as it was built.

If your window sticker has a mistake, we'd love to know about it. Contact Us and we'll make it right, even if that includes a refund of the window sticker purchase price.

A VIN is your car's Vehicle Identification Number — the unique 17-character code that identifies your exact vehicle and how it was built. It's a mix of letters and numbers. You'll find it in a few easy places:
  • On a small metal plate on the driver's side of the dashboard, visible through the windshield
  • On a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb (open the door and look at the frame)
  • On your vehicle registration, insurance card, or title
Once you have it, type it in or use your phone's camera to scan it, and we'll pull up your window sticker.

No app download is needed. Navigate to https://digitalwindowstickers.com on your phone, log in, and then click "Scan a VIN" to make the VIN Scanner appear right in your browser.

Every window sticker is billed once per VIN decode, not a subscription. After you add a window sticker VIN to your account, you will not be billed again for decoding the same VIN. If for some reason we don't have window sticker data for a particular VIN, you will not be billed for it.

Yes. We require our users to create an account so they can easily access their past VIN decodes and billing history. It also makes it easier for our support team to contact you in case there is a problem.
