Decoding Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

[vikasanj]

Welcome to The Automotive India, Vikas. All four above mentioned Volkswagen cars are manufactured in April 2012.

Drive Safe,
350Z

Thanks 350Z. One more query - how can i find out from the dealer about the excise that has been paid on these cars? Since these were manufactured in april and the excise duty was increased after 16th April.

Thanks in advance,
Vikas

Is it an issue if the car is manufactured in March, 2012? I did a routine PDI at the warehouse, everything looked fine while few components were not functional like Audio Player.

There should not be a problem as long as the car is in an acceptable condition. Which other components were not functioning? Sometime dealers disconnect the battery of the cars kept in stock.

After reading the guide I think I missed few items.
Can I check those left out items at showroom before delivery or that deadline has crossed as I am expecting delivery on Friday morning.

Do make sure to carry a print out of PDI Checklist. It’s never too late. Don’t mind waiting for another model if you suspect something fishy about this one.

You’re welcome. Price hike isn't applicable for cars dispatched to the dealership before 16th March 2012 (Link). In this case, it is manufactured in April.

Drive Safe,
