Thanks Nitin!!

I got my Honda city registered in Jan/2009 and good to know that it is manufactured in the same month.

Let's see what does the dealer have to say about this tomorrow ... LOL

it will be zero and not O since to avoid confusion they do not use the alphabets
O & I

you car is Wagon R
the 18th number is missing which denotes month and 19th number denotes year.
kindly confirm the last 2 digits.

happy driving!

I WANT ONE MORE HELP FROM YOU GUYS.when i was surfing on the net,i was checking the vin decoding websites but all websites are saying that my vin is invalid.i know its not safe to show it online but kindly help me in this regard.it says that my check digit is invalid.on eof the replies from one site was like this:
The VIN you entered (MA3EWDE1S00487821) has an invalid check digit. The check digit is a value encoded into the VIN in order to protect against altering VINs illegally. Since the check digit is invalid the VIN that you entered is not the correct VIN for your car.
i had asked wildon also but he has not replied yet.my last 2 letters are KC which means octo 2012 but what about other 17 letters and their meaning?

i will simply say stop being paranoid. most of the online sites are not updated and its not worth losing your sleep on them. you are dealing with maruti and they have no reason to cheat with you. think positive. I have nothing more to add.

hey friend that's ok and completely fine but i had a very bad experience with maruti dealer.so although i know that maruti company will not do anything wrong but dealers can and u never know in what form. that's why i asked it. neways as you say i should stop being paranoid., but where is my friend wildon? he is active on other web sites and online forums and giving every small details about cars like color,engine type etc including manu. month and year, which a common man can not decode from vin. so i wanted that information from him hence was the earlier post. but he is not replying here.
