1. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): The VIN is a unique 17-character code that can be found on the driver's side door jamb, under the hood, or in the vehicle's registration documents. The 10th character of the VIN indicates the year of manufacture, as per the following code:
- A: 2010
- B: 2011
- C: 2012
- D: 2013
- E: 2014
- F: 2015
- G: 2016
- H: 2017
- J: 2018
- K: 2019
2. Service Records: If you have access to the vehicle's service records, such as maintenance receipts or repair orders, the date of manufacture may be listed on those documents.
3. Owner's Manual: Some owner's manuals include the date of manufacture, usually in the first few pages.
4. Online VIN Decoder: There are various websites that offer VIN decoding services. By entering the VIN, you can obtain information such as the year of manufacture.
5. Consult the Dealership: You can also contact a Chevrolet dealership and provide them with the VIN. They can access the vehicle's records and provide you with the date of manufacture.
6. Check Insurance Documents: The date of manufacture may be mentioned on your car insurance policy or other related documents.
Remember, the date of manufacture may vary slightly from the model year of the car. The model year is typically one year ahead of the actual production date. For instance, a Chevrolet car with a 2023 model year may have been manufactured in late 2022.
