Thanks Dennis. So it appears my xfire is a 2006 model however it was built in 2005 and first registered in the UK (DVLA logbook) 30/12/2005.
As you can see the date of UK registration is very close to the end of 2005 so I guess it's quite possible that the car has a 2006 specification.
This is great news here in the UK as "Road Tax", an annual tax to drive on UK roads increased significantly on 2006 cars. As mine is registered in 2005 I pay the lower amount yet have the 2006 car, Cool!
BTW - which site did you use to do the vin lookup?
On one site I did get this back "Vehicle Build Date: 2005/9/2" with "Model Year: 2006"
I also noticed "Sequential number: 063246", I'm assuming this is the incremental serial number for cars coming off the assembly line, would this be all Chryslers or just Crossfires?
Also is there a master list held somewhere like on this forum?
