I recently bought a 2001 Accord here in Canada and I am having a heck of a time figuring out exactly what model the car is.
The dealer that I bought it from was a Toyota dealer and therefore not terribly knowledgeable about Hondas but they advertised the car as an EX-L. However, I am not sure that's a "real" model designation, as opposed to something that's just been made up. I halfway suspect that the car is actually just an EX with leather seats so they described it as an EX-L to indicate the presence of the leather seats. But I don't pretend to know what official model designations Honda Canada has set up.
I had hoped to find something in or on the car itself that told me the model but was very surprised to find nothing indicating a model on the door panels.
I was googling to find out more when I discovered a site for Honda owners that says it can determine the exact model from the VIN numbers. However, when I went to that site -
If anyone knows a reliable way to determine my model, I'd love to hear it!
