Anyone know how the RDX VIN numbers work. I may pull the trigger soon and would rather get a vehicle that is fresh into the dealership instead of one that has been rotting on the lot for 3 months (and we all know that many have been).

Are they sequential or coded? If I go into the dealership and look at 2 black RDX's, will the newer one have the higher VIN number?

 

Look at the last 5 digits of the VIN for the build number. They started from 0 and are currently up in the 12,000-13,000 range or higher, from what I am seeing on the lots. Anything lower than 6,000 has been there since at least September.

 

For example, if the last five digit is 01244, does that mean it's the 1244th off the line?

 

Yep.
