Well this is for Optra Magnum and dude GM and FORD are two different companies.

:Frustrati

Well looking at the Optra sales figures there may be a chance of old stock. What was the Manufacturing month mentioned by the dealer.

Also if your city have other dealers please do check the cars about the manufacturing date.

Dealer also told Manufacturing as July 2009. :Frustrati This is the olny GM dealer here.

Does not it tell month of production? I got the vehicle delivered on 20th Aug 2007 after a month long wait, so was curious to know whether it was freshly produced or the dealer arranged old one from the stock.

Ciao

Hi Wildon,

As I have changed the color to medium grey, the new VIN, which I have got from the dealer is : MCA11031709010123JPZ

Please decode it for me.

Thanks.
