Decoding Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
- Thread Starter anuprav
- Start date
Thanks. Yes I needed this, kind of relief. Since last few days I was scratching my head to get this![[confused]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Confused.gif "Confused [confused]")
, posted in other few forum too but no luck. Finally I had to work on this. After a little comparing with others Hyundai car bar code label, Wola! ![[thumbsup]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Thumbs%20Up.png "Thumbs Up [thumbsup]")
. Chassis number just provides the month of the chassis manufacture, not the production date. Production date is very accurate and its the assemble date I think.
I hope this will helps others as of now. One can easily get the Production date without asking anyone. I was sure somewhere in the barcode this was hidden. But there was so many numbers its hard to figure out.

You can send the bar code label of the car here, I will try if I can. I’m not a professional. But you can put a post at car dekho forum and ask wildon to decode it. He is a professional and will send you the accurate details, however it may take few days as he is not very much active there. I got his reply just yesterday.
Put it here. You will get the details.

Hi anshumann it's a long story, this was given by sales person.
He was like until payment is made VIN is not generated and only he can provide 5 digit / character.
When we said cancel the booking he gave the entire number.
Tomorrow will have to confirm same while checking the car.

Same story with me, but we made the payment but he gave 17 digit chasis no only. ![[frustration]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Frustration.gif "Frustration [frustration]")
Dealer is at Kolkata.

. Is this correct number or not?First 17 digits gives you the lot number but the last 2 digits gives the month and year of manufacturing.
Here goes our experience:
When we told the competitors name and said to cancel the booking, he just panicked.
Within few minutes she got a call from GM, and the earlier Sales person who said car can be seen only on the day of registration is now ready to take us to the dealer yard.
Tomorrow will be inspecting, so only posted it here.
They were adamant in getting the payment first before giving the VIN.
He almost had an excuse for what my cousin was asking him, and i was guiding her

.I told her to hold the payment and cancel the booking, that is when he came to track.
Even this dealership has given 23,000 discount 1500/- corporate discount and additional 7K discount as September price.
Lets see what bouncer they are going to put during delivery, and we have everything in writing.
Now they have realised i guess, that they cant mess with us.

OK after numerous calls and follow up got the VIN our our new Alto 800 ending with *GD, hence its a Aug 2013 model. I guess it is fair enough to take a 2 month old car with the discounts they are throwing in. PDI is going on, ODO is showing "12".
Hi,
I got done with PDI of my new Hyndai i10.
Attached is my VIN information and manufacture date is of May 2013.
should I go ahead and accept this car?
thanks in advance

Mistake *GD denotes Jul 13, but I presume it was end of July as per dealer records the received the car in Aug 2nd week. But still I am ok with it as dealer was transparent enough.
There is no harm. But get the usual checks done, Tyres, Battery, Fluid replacement, external rubber parts, external chrome parts.
BTW, what are the discounts given. You can push for more discounts citing 5 month old car.

Hey,
Thanks for reply.
I got basic checks and all other parts seems to be fine.
Discount wise - I am getting approx 30K Cash discount and accessories discount of approx 12-13K.
Would that enough or should I ask for more? ;-)
