Inquiry about the VIN structure in my car
My car's VIN is: 1C3ANE9LX5X031940.
Using the service book I deciphered that:
1. Country of Origin - Manufactured by DaimlerChrysler Co.
C. Assembler - Chrysler
3. Vehicle Type - Passenger Car
A. GVWR & Pass. Safety - Restraint System Active Front & Side Air Bags (CGS)
N. Vehicle Line - Crossfire (LHD -> Left Hand Drive)
E. Transmission - 5 Speed Automatic (DGU -> W5J400 Transmission)
9. Body Style - Specialty Coupe
L. Engine - 3.2L V6 18V SOHC (EGX)
X. Check Digit -
5. Model Year - 2005 ??
X. Assembly Plant - Karmann - Osnabrueck Germany
031940. Vehicle Build Sequence / Model Year Assembly Sequence
Position 10 in the VIN is "5".
But my car is manufactured in 2004.
What does that mean?
Does that mean the car was actually manufactured in 2004, but maybe late 2004, and it's a 2005 model...??
