VIN number doesn't lie, the "year" of the vehicle on the registration is just when the vehicle was SOLD at the dealership. 2006 model year vehicles go on sale late September or early October and can be sold in 2005.

That's why everyone asks for the VIN when looking up parts, parts are made according to the production year of the vehicle.

 

The 10th digit of the VIN denotes the "model year" of the vehicle, not necessarily the year it was manufactured. As for what's listed on the registration maybe that varies by state/location, but my MY '04 coupe was built, sold, and titled in '03, and all of my paperwork has shown 2004. That includes sold as new in one state yet having it's first title in another.

 

These parts still can be found?

 

yup
