How to Tell What Year a Car Is?

[LaFelicity]

Here are the methods to determine the year of a car: 1. Check the manual: If you want to know the model year of the car, the most direct method is to look at the manual provided at the time of purchase, as it will include this information. 2. Look at the vehicle's nameplate: You can also check the car's nameplate, which is usually located below the passenger-side door and can be seen when the door is opened. 3. Call customer service: There is always a dedicated customer service representative you can contact for inquiries. If you have any questions about the car, you can directly ask the customer service. 4. Check the car's VIN code: Generally, the 10th digit of the car's VIN code indicates the year. However, this year may differ slightly from the manufacturing year, usually by no more than a year, and is close to the model year, which is generally the default assumption.
