Default Help decode VIN on GS 350AWD

I am considering buying a manager's demo GS 350 AWD (see following thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=266373) and am trying to determine how 'old' this car is i.e how long it has been sitting around. The dealer says he doesn't know because he got it from another dealer (there are two other dealers listed on the sticker).

Could someone tell me where in the order of manufacture the last four digits come in? The VIN on this car ends in 00054xx (last two digits obscured on purpose). IOW, how do you tell when this particular car was built? It may help me decide whether I should buy it or not.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Servertech. Will need to go back to the dealer to do that. I'm inclined to go for the car. Just have to get him to sweeten the pot a little.
