Finding the VIN & manufacturing date/year on Indian cars

sdp1975 · 18th December 2009, 19:00

Even I bought a Aug manufactured vehicle in Oct, nothing to worry about so long as the vehicle is OK.

EssYouWe · 18th December 2009, 19:16

Yeah yeah... No worries on that front. Just sad that I missed a reason to fight with the dealer.

wildon · 20th December 2009, 08:33

^^^ My reply is already mentioned by you.

If you are visiting the stock yard Look for a Two digit or Three digit numbered stickers pasted on the Glasses(front/side/rear) on the car. It will be starting with an Alphabet in which

A= JAN
B= FEB
C= MAR
D= APR
E= MAY
F= JUNE
G= JULY
H= AUG
J= SEP
K= OCT
L= NOV
M= DEC
