Hi,

According to this web page, it says that Japanese cars made for the local market do not have VIN numbers but have chassis numbers instead, which do not contain as much information as VIN numbers. There may also be a model number associated with the chassis number which provides more specific model information.

Putting your vehicle’s chassis number into the Free Vehicle Search link on the web page, gives this result.

Here’s another link which may be of some help.

If you scroll down the page you will see entries for build year 2004 with Chassis ID of LA-3ESP which if you click on the specific model variants will give full details regarding the vehicle specifications.

Hopefully this is of some help.
