Where in the VIN sequence can you tell what year the car is??
Looking to get my EF hatch soon, but one I'm looking at is titled as '88, but he says it is an '89.
I know the year code is in the VIN, but don't know which numbers .....

The 10th Digit on the VIN # indicates the Year of the Car... But its a little strange because they are basically letters.
1st, 2nd, 3rd - Manufacturers Make and Type of Vehicle
4th, 5th, 6th - Line, Body, and Engine Type
7th - Body/Transmission Type
8th - Vehicle Grade <---- Does Not Refer to the Vehicle's Education... LOL
9th - Check Digits
10th - Model Year <-------
11th - Plant <------ Not an Agriculture Thing... LOL I don't know where they get this stuff
12th to 17th - Serial Number
Welp Thats All Folks... Hope that Helped.

Thanks, it turns out to be an '88 based on the 10th being a "J" appreciate the quick response!
