Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Although the dates may have changed since then, when I got my '97 Targa in September, 1996, I remember it was literally the first 1997 911 any dealer in Southern California had (don't know when it was built).

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Probably a dumb question-- what month does the MY change to the next year? e.g. - a 10/99 manufacturing date sells as a 2000 MY.

POST 2Original post

My '04 Targa has a early build date of June 18, 2003. I think the new year models release around September, and obviously the initial releases need to be built several months before that. Although the dates may have changed since then, when I got my '97 Targa in September, 1996, I remember it was literally the first 1997 911 any dealer in Southern California had (don't know when it was built). When the car doesn't really change (i.e. 2003 vs. 2004 996), its pretty much just a fiction based on the year it was released for, but the factory sticker would show the correct MY.

POST 3Original post

I think occasionally a new series 911 production may start before the August Holiday. I believe the 1995 993 began earlier than Sept 94; and I believe the 99 996 began production in April-May 98.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys - I had seen some May-June builds listed as the next model year and it made my curious. rb
