Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know how to find out when my car was made?

Is there a way to read the chassis (frame) number to give a build date (i.e. like ford).

Luv and kisses, Gail

Open the drivers side door, look on the body above the door latch. There should be a metal plate with your vehicles "build or production" date.

Jagbabe,

North American import cars have a build date stamped on the VIN plate at the driver's door jamb. Your car may not have that stamping and we have discussed at length the legitimacy of the door jamb date. Other members may help out here, but I want you to look up some of the older threads on this topic. Check "Philosophical discussion" and some of the other build date threads for a detailed description of the importation tags and their locations.
