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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is it possible to pull the date of manufacture from a car's VIN? It's for a '99 with a VIN: WP0AA2995XS625300

POST 2Original post

Look on your drivers side door jamb sticker. It will show month and year of manufacture. Sent from my iPhone using Rennlist

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yup, I know that. The car in question is not with my brother at the moment BUT just checked Carfax and first registered Oct. 1999 so the manufacture date has to be before. So it is 15 years old....no federalization required to bring it into Canada.

POST 4Original post

that one won't pull up...my guess is july/aug 98

POST 5Original post

last four digit 5058 was 12/98 so probably 1/99 build is my guess
