J vin versus 1 vin?

I heard that accords with the "J" vin number being made in japan are more
rare and more in demand. Any truth to that? Mine has a "J" vin number, so it
was built in japan as opposed to Ohio.

 

Hello everyone,


I didn't get any responses yet, so I figured that everyone is either too
busy getting ready to eat turkey or just doesn't know the answer. My
question was from a salesman at a dealership who made the comment, but I had
never heard of it before so I thought I'd ask here.

I heard that accords vin numbers that start with the "J" are being made in
Japan are more
rare and more in demand. Any truth to that? Mine has a "J" vin number, so it
was built in japan as opposed to Ohio.

This is my 4th Honda, and the first one that was actually made in Japan so I
do think its interesting at least.

Thanks,
Al

 

Yep.

 

Does that mean they are more likely to get stolen?
