How to Determine a Car's Manufacturing Date?

[RileyMarie]

Methods to determine a car's manufacturing date include: 1. Judging the car's production date based on the body paint data, where the vehicle identification code, manufacturing date, total vehicle weight, engine model, and rated power are usually found on the side of the body; 2. Determining the car's production date by the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), where the 10th character (letter or number) indicates the manufacturing date; 3. Checking the production date via the information on the engine compartment's nameplate, which typically includes the car model, engine model, engine displacement, and production date; 4. The car's manufacturing date is also specified in the vehicle's user manual.
