Is there a number or letter in the VIN...

[00NORCAL V8]

that would indicate if my car is a sport or premium? It has wood steering wheel and factory 17 in chromeys. I was also curious if I had the sport suspension. TIA

If you have chrome on your bumpers, it's a premium. No chrome...sport. That's how it works as far as I know.

I just got off the phone w/Lincoln cs and gave them my VIN. First off they need to get better qualified people to work the phones - I could barely understand what she was saying. So according to her my car just came with a standard convenience package yet my car has the 17 in. chrome wheels, wood grain steering wheel and chrome on the front and rear bumpers. What gives? How can I find out exactly what my car is? I appreciate any help.

Could have been dealer addons. They were able to tell me mine is an Ultimate and came with all options cept HID, rear seat heat and Nav.
