If you buy '07, how can you tell its a '07 vs '06 / vice versa?

Just bought a '07, found out '06 is pretty much the same? What if a dealer is pretty shaddy, where do you look to confirm what year it is?

If you look on the drivers door jam there should be a label there that will tell exactly when the car was made.

Check the 10th digit of the VIN; 6 for 2006 or 7 for 2007. That's the MODEL YEAR. They probably began BUILDING the 2007 cars Sept or Oct of 2006.

Subby,

The window sticker should not lie. Again, when you sign the purchase agreement, it should state the VIN together with the year and model. BTW, I just leased a 07 Special Edition yesterday.
