I just discovered that the build date on my new '09 Boxster (replaced an SC430) was my Birthday!
Dealer paperwork gave me the info, don't know if the Porsche vin will.
May call the dealer to find out

I also have an IS250AWD
Can we tell the build date from The Lexus VIN or any VIN

Open your driver door and look at the date on the door jam. On the car registration. Mine says production date was 4/20/09. I like that number

The VIN# itself won't tell you, but usually the information associated with a VIN# holds the build date. Dealers should be able to look it up and tell you-- I can certainly look up any Lexus VIN# and tell you the build date. Doesn't the Lexus Owners site tell you the build date?


fyi- The VIN provides some information about the vehicle. It is typically composed of these sections:

The first three digits are called the World Manufacturer Identifier (ie Toyota VINs starting with "1", "4", or "5" represent vehicles assembled in the United States, "2" indicate vehicles assembled in Canada, "J" were produced in Japan)

Digits 4 through 8 are the Vehicle Description Section- These digits provide information on the vehicle model, body style, and engine type.

The ninth digit is used internally.

The 10th digit indicates the model year; letters (except "O" and "Z") were used for vehicles up to the 2000 model year while numbers are used for 2001 and newer vehicles.

The 11th digit is the plant code.

Finally, digits 12 - 17 are the unique serial number.
