2003s CHECK IN--what's your build date?
 

Hey guys,
I was just looking around my car yesterday, and decided to take a look at the sticker that's on the driver's side door sill (the one that has the VIN, build date, and some other info). I have the 2003, and the build date was 07/2002.

I was just curious what other build dates some of you have (2003 owners)?

Later

10/02

Damn, that's awesome--that's almost an ACTUAL 03! :laugh:

December of 2002.

Any 2003's actaully made in 2003? I think legaly nissan has to make them into 2003 for it to be a "2003".

BTW I really have a 2001 :laugh: The build date is 8/01

Hello,

Build date 07/02 for 2k3 Maxima GLE.

I don't think so because they sell 2003s in 2002, so obviously there's no way for most of them to be built in 2003. It's kind of weird how the auto industry works in this regard.

My 2002 was built in 2001 as well.

10/01

I guess I have a 2002 AE. :laugh:

well considering we're only 20 some odd days into 2003....most of us are gonna have a build date in 2002...duh!

6/02, I was wondering the same thing if any 03's are actually going to be built in 2003. I guess in a few months we will know!

Same here - 06/02. Looks darn good to be so "old". :)

You missed what I was getting at. What I mean is for a vehicle to be coined a particular model year I beleive atleast "one" vehicle has to be made in that model year.

I was not speaking to or replying to you :confused:

Emax95, I'm sorry I missed your point, but in your post you didn't make it clear that you thought at least "one" had to be made in the actual year.

Anyhow, not a big deal--I see what you're saying now. :)

Mine is 11/02.
I almost bought a 12/02 but didnt go for the deal.
I think production ended with12/02.

08/02

Built in 04-02
 

I am starting to wonder if i have an 02. I bought it used at a local ford dealer, 104K miles 03 SE 6 speed with a 3.5. If its an 03, according to this thread, its the oldest one listed. Don't have the title yet, but all the dealer paperwork said its 03. Great car so far.

Nissan builds the YEAR MODEL (as it is called) from July though May. June is tool change-over for the next year model. Based on 04-02, I would say you have 2002 model.

But there's always exceptions, so look at the VIN number. It has the year model built into it. Example:

JNKNG11C89T000001

The 10th character from the left is the year code. My example would be a 2009. A 2002 year model would be a 2 and a 2003 year model would be a 3.
