Default What is you car's build date?

Tomorrow is my car's 6 year birthday(or birthmonth). The car is an 01 and it was produced 02/01.
I'm curious what other member's build date is compared to the year of vehicle. I think most vehicles are built late in the year before the model year.

EDIT -- check that, 99 GS4 built in December, 1998 (and purchased in April, 1999).

hmmm...so far most are built after the model year. I thought it'd be the other way around.

Mine was pretty much in the last run of the 2GS. I think it was Nov 04' or something and my car is an 05' model.

1998 build date of 9/97

Lets see someone beat that.

My car was part of the first shipment to my local dealer.

Oops didn't see the last 2 posts while I wrote this. (went out to the car to get the date). Looks like we will need a vin number contest to see which one is older. Mine was delivered on 10/30/1997.
