from the VIN number it looks like the Car was built sometimes in June/July 2003. get a good deal on the car!!!

 

How can you tell when the car was built?

 

Call the consumer affairs at Nissan with a VIN and they CAN (if they will) give you that info. I did this on about 10 or 15 cars before I got the one I wanted.

 

In TSBs, there will be reference to Maximas built before date and VIN numbers, to which the TSB is applicable. I used this and did a rough guess.

 

There is a fully loaded 2004 maxima, radiant ember, black leather, elite package, navigation with sticker price of 35k-36k...at Capital Nissan in Lanhamn, MD right now sooo those lookin for one

 

Bet there weren't many of those ... Elites with cloth!

edify11 - Another way to get a rough estimate of when an '04 Maxima was built is to subtract the serial # (last six digits of vin #) from 800,000 and divide the result by 7700. The resulting number is the approximate number of months after February 1st, 2003 that the car was built.

The above procedure works for all '04 Maxima serial numbers, including those over 900,000. If your serial # is below 900,000, you can simply divide the last five digits of the vin by 7700 and get the approximate number of months after February 1, 2003 the car was produced.

 

Thanks a lot lightonthehill. According to your formula my Maxima would be around December 03. Not too bad!

 

Hey I got an idea, just look at your door sticker. (edify11)

 

LOL, VQ35DE. Unfortunately, my car is at the dealer right now. Check out this post: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=295270. But here's some pics of my car before it went kaput. http://www.cardomain.com/id/edify11

 

Edify11,
What is the last 6 digits of your VIN, I will give you a good idea of the build date?

 

I figured it out already but it's 881623.
