Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've read alot on this board about avoiding the early production '99's. How do I know if the car was an early or late production in that year? I have the Vin#'s for the cars I'm considering I just don't know how to decipher them for month of production. Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

There is a sticker on the lower portion of the driver door that specifies the build date. Not sure what the date cutoff is for early/late 99. The only difference I am aware of is the early 99s have amber tail lights while the later builds have clear lights.

POST 3Original post

My 99 made in June 99 has clear tail lights. My Bother-in-law's 99 made in Nov 98. He has not had any real problems.
