The year of the vehicle is often difficult to determine exactly. A model may be introduced as the next year’s model as soon as January of the previous year. Typically, a new model year starts in September or October of the year prior to the actual new year, but not always. This is why the vehicle identification number, usually abbreviated VIN, is so important, shown in Fig. 1.1.1.
