Legacy_Fan Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Does anyone know an easy way to get the build date of one of the new Legacy/Outback models. Can you find out by the vin number? Is it on the MSRP sticker? I took a picture of the numbers on the bottom of 3 different window stickers to help figure it out. These are Legacy GT's that have recently come in.

SoldonSubie Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Look on the inside of the door. It has a sticker that indicates the car met all safety standards as of the date of manufacture. All cars have this sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy_Fan Posted July 9, 2004 Author Share Posted July 9, 2004 Great. Is it on the driver door? Does it show month and day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Yes, drivers door month/year, doesn't indicate day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 MY99 - MY03 can be also found under the bonnet too, unsure if this the case for new models and other models besides JDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy_Fan Posted July 10, 2004 Author Share Posted July 10, 2004 [quote name='orpie_lightfoot']We print and hang the window labels at DAS, and there's no way to tell from the window sticker. It is hung when the car is finished processing and is ready to leave the facility, but it may have sat in the yard for a few weeks before that. Happy motoring, orpie_lightfoot[/quote] Can you tell from these numbers when it left the shipping facility? Also, now that they haven't assembled any new cars for the last couple weeks, are you guys caught up in the shipping dept? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 They would assume they haven't stop assembly at all, that's a continuing process. They are continually building new cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do some minor upgrades to the plant ( said they were doing some changes in the paint dept for one) while people are gone. They should be back at it on Monday.

SUBE555 Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 I see it now, it was posted on NASIOC. I know the place I work is down for one week after the 4th for PMs and revamps. Wasn't aware of SIA doing any such things, but will be in the future. Hope mine got out the door before they shut down, or it'll definitely be after the 10th before it gets to the dealership. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy_Fan Posted July 10, 2004 Author Share Posted July 10, 2004 I'm in the same situation. Actually, now I'm hoping it is built after this break since they may have spent this time at the plant fine tuning everything. I'm willing to wait a couple extra weeks. Guess we'll have to wait and see. If it says built in June, it's before, if it says July then it's built after the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Remember it might take them a little bit to fine tune the machines after break ones things are re-done as some say. I know that's how it is at the place I work. Takes 1-2 weeks to shake everything down correctly. At least that's after a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
