Question How to tell if 2005 Civic has ABS?

Hi all,
I'm in the market for a used Civic sedan 2005.

Is there a way to tell from VIN or other visual sign if a 2005 Civic has ABS?
I'll be looking at cars in dealer lots and I dont trust their ads saying it has ABS, have to be sure.

Thanks.

I HATE abs. So glad my car doesn't have it.

but yeah, turn the key to the "on" position or even start the car, you should see an abs light come on for a few seconds.
