Not true...........you are looking at the last 6 digits of the VIN# and that has no relative significance to year. There were plenty of 2007's built with 06xxxx numbers and then continued into 07xxxx All the 2008 models have VIN#s ending in 07xxxx.
What you need to check is the numeric digit immediately in front of the X (8th last character of VIN#) and that is the model year code.
2008 models were all produced in the 07 Calendar Year, ending just prior to Xmas.
One last point that is very important............Chrysler did not sell off any 2007's as 2008 models. The 2008 cars were actually designated and produced as numbered '08 models direct from the factory.
