Check under the hood and you can find two additional letters.
If its CA then March 2010, if DA then its April 2010 please confirm.

Dear Wildon,

How to decode BEAT an UVA VIN?

Thanks in advance.

I also find Vehicle Identification Number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia a good reference.

Regards

Vinu

9th digit represents Month and 10th digit represents Year

A to M excluding i represents January to December.

A in 10th digit represents 2010 if 9 =2009

Hey wildon! can you help me decode this VIN for the Chevy Spark?

Going by the logic given above, 9th digit (D=April) and 10th digit (A=2010). Correct?

Any other details to be had? Thanks in advance.
