How to read chassis number??
Good morning, I have a problem understanding the meaning of the chassis number of my Subaru SVX.
The chassis number is: YF1CXWBLOEH003651 My car was first registered in Germany the 25/02/1993, then was imported in Italy the 04/11/1997 and then I bought it two years ago. I need to know the year of production of my car (I hope it is 1992), in order to reduce taxes in my country as an historic car. Is there anybody who could help me? Thank you for your attention.

Re: How to read chassis number??
Please feel free to add or correct any misinformation I have posted below.
I believe the 1st letter in your number should be a J, not a Y. The first 5 digits of all SVXs ever produced should be JF1CX JF - Maker ID (Japanese / FHI) 1 - Type of vehicle 1 = passenger C - Line (Subaru C line) X - Body type (coupe) There are no "I", "O", or "Q" allowed in any VIN, so the other digits are incorrect. Digits in red below appear to be incorrect YF1CXWBLOEH003651 Where did you copy this number from? There should be a VIN plate on the driver's side dash, visible through the windshield. There should also be a plate on the door jamb under the lock. This also shows the VIN and the date of manufacture. The 1992 model year uses an "NH, followed by the production sequence numbers (There is no "E") There is another one on the front strut tower, under the hood. The VIN as also stamped on the firewall, behind the engine From your first date of registration in Germany, it is safe to assume it is a 1992. Check for the actual VIN plate on the door jamb for the month and date. For more information on decoding the Subaru VIN, go HERE .

Re: How to read chassis number??
Also for NZ new ones, there is a small "month/year" built metal plate inside the passengers door lock area, will take picture of it next time I happen to remember.
It is about 6mm x 50mm (bit like a USA VIN number under the window) - that is something we do not have here in NZ. |
