Can any body tell me where is vin Located/punched of vehicle Spark and Beat (Chevrolet India)?
Decoding Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
- Thread Starter anuprav
- Start date
its actually Magna 1.2 kappa engine. I am not able to decipher the month. By the way the vin is only 17 digit.
Thanks Mr. harish ... Well it's not about model year it's about mismatch of registration paper n chassis no. In registration paper it's mentioned 2013 manufacturing year and chassis no. Says it's a nov 2012 make . Is it legal to write 2013 on registration paper when the manufacturing of 2012.
P.S. We are talking manufacturing year which is mentioned in the registration document not the model year.

Mr.Vivek In registration book(Rc)/Smart card term is use year of manufacture and as per legal way your vehicle month and year of manufacture is Nov 2012. This is illegal How Dealer can regd it on Rc/Smart card that year of manufacturer is 2013.may be dealer use fake paper and in addition .I have confirm direct from VW you can read their reply and Now with copy of this email kindly send one notice to your Dealer and Vw-manufacturer surely they will compensate to you and If you get no reply by them in a month go ahead in consumer forum

This bears reference to your following query regarding manufacturing month and year of the car.
We would like to inform you that the term Model Year is an internal nomenclature used by the manufacturer to identify its products across various categories/subcategories.
With reference to the VIN number WVWL12603DT029557, the car is manufactured in November 2012.

Yeah thanks Mr. Harish ... They didn't inform me before delivering the car they deliberately cheated me by hiding the facts . Yeah already registered the complaint in volkswagen since that time dealers are negotiating with me by telling will put this accessory in your car but not ready to exchange the car. So planning to file the case in consumer forum. Once again thanks Mr. Harish

Ist Tier redressal: Complaint should be filed to the Authorized Dealer from where the purchase deal has been conducted. If it fails, take up directly to the Company’s Regional CRC with a copy to H/Q of the company.

Mr Vivek kindly send a complaint to Siam also ,as directed by National Consumer and pressure to dealer for changing this car(2012) to New(2013).or demand him resale value loss up to 50-60 thousand,and when you will file in consumer court you can demand upto 1 - 1.5 lac in tone of mental agony ,harassed etc Kindly collect some similar cases of Consumer court and I will also try to send you judgement copy In which you get consumer court ordered to manufacturer/Dealer to pay compensation to consumer for selling old Model car.(Violation of Consumer right)
Thank you Mr. Harish once again for enlisting all the important information. Looking forward to get the right compensation or would go through the forum. thank you.
