Engine Plate Decifer
« on: July 21, 2025, 09:34:34 »
Hi guys (and girls),
I’m on the cusp of purchasing a US originating vehicle that’s now in New Zealand.

Can anyone please help with deciphering the plate numbers, be hugely appreciative to a Pagoda Virgin 🙏

It’s a 280, with a silver body. Thetwo numbers in the top line are “options” (- US spec). The long numbers are not the VIN but a build/factory production number.

Matt,

You can use our forums' Search feature.  You can Google any of these codes.  You can even put "site:sl113.org" at the end of your Google search string to search just our site.

But, the best thing to do before buying a Pagoda is joining here as a full member and using our Tech Manual to educate yourself on Pagodas.  Knowledge is Power.  Don't go into a purchase uneducated!!
