Where are all the VIN #'s located?

I'm looking at an RX-7 right now, I didn't get a chance to look for all the VIN #'s since I only saw the outside. I'm just wondering where I should look for them. Anyway thanks for the help.

I know this is probably a stupid question and all but I really don't know too much about these cars.

Also the car is a 1993 silver/black auto with 20k miles original owner. He is asking $19k. I spoke to the guys son today and he said the car was a non-turbo... The 3rd gen were only turbo's from what I hear so I checked and saw a SMIC but didn't point that out to the guy He seem to not know anything about the car. It's in really in amazing condition. Is their anything I should check for tomorrow since I'll probably test drive it then? Once again thanks for all the help

If you look from the outside at the bottom right of the windshield, u can see a little metal plate with the vin number inscribed in it...

You can find the vin # on the driver side near the lower corner of the wind shield. The vin# is locate at the same place on every car.

AxionF117:

I would be leary of buying a car from an "original owner" who didn't know his car was turbo-charged. VERY leary.

VIN# locations:

door sill plate(?), driver's side dash, middle of firewall above intake manifold, on engine block behind/below alternator

That's all that I know of.

EDIT: BTW, an automatic FD is not nearly the fun of a manual. They are much harder to mod and have no power off the line. Also, autos usually sell for quite a bit less than manuals. That car has very low miles but is still a 10 year old car with an auto. I think $19k is a little steep.
