How to read this page
How to use this VIN page: review photos first, then compare the auction history and spec tables. Fields like damage, title, mileage, and sale date come from the underlying listing data and may be missing on some records.
If you are researching purchase, export, or rebuild decisions, treat this page as a research snapshot and validate everything with official paperwork, auction documents, and inspections. Wheelwise does not generate these attributes — we display what the source record contains.
Common reasons some values are blank: the original listing did not provide a field, the value was unreadable, or the record was imported without that attribute.

Photos and condition notes
The photo gallery contains 11 listing images for VIN JM1NA3536T0702979. Use these photos to visually confirm body style, trim badges, wheels, interior options, and visible damage areas.
Damage fields are reported as categories (“primary” / “secondary”). They help you filter listings quickly, but they do not replace a detailed inspection.
When comparing this vehicle to similar listings, focus on year, drivetrain, mileage entry, title status, and auction date — these attributes most often explain price differences.
