Exactly what do the VIN's mean, and how can I tell when my TL was built?

I have VIN 24XXX.

What does the rest of that junk on the VIN mean?

 

You can look at the sticker that is along your drivers side door area....that will give the build information.

 

I know that 4 of the digits represent that you have 6mt and navi

 

This has been addressed before:

http://www.acura-tl.com/forums/showt...threadid=67654

That thread probably has the most useful info, such as how to decipher a VIN number, how to calculate the checksum digit (a lot of work, but I tried mine just for kicks, and it matched - phew!), and even a link to a site that interprets VINS, although it didn't recognize the model code for the TL.

The build date isn't in the VIN, but you can find it inside the drivers' side door, towards the bottom.

 

Thank you.

 

Just got the call from Jeffery Acura that my WDP/Navi/5AT/Parchment is on the way from Marysville.
I will be # 39010.
Pick her up Tuesday.
Yippi!!!

wow 39000??? its gonna hit 40K soon. still i do not see any others on the highway yet. i see a new TL probably once or twice a month. but i see 2nd gen every single day probably like 10 a day. they must have sold millions of that car.

 

I could have taken another TL two weeks ago. It was built 2/5.
I chose to wait hopefully for the better tires, memory seat fix,
and latest software for the navi.
Thanks to this forum, I got a great price for the additional warranty. Thanks folks!!

I have yet to see a TL on the road in the southeastern Michigan area. Course soon as I take delivery I'm sure I'll see a bunch but
that's ok.

That last thousand went fast - I'm 38000 and I picked it up a week ago as soon as it came in to the dealer's.

caball88 I never see any new TL's either, and I'm all over the LIE and Grand Central

 

Question on build date....

I only see month and year on sticker. Do they have the DAY it was built?

I am also curious about that date. It says 12/03 and I picked up my car on 12/13/03:wow:

That is fast delivery!
