What's the earliest production date
you could have on your car if you bought in the USA? Mine was made in August so I hope they got most of the bugs out.

Look at the last 4 digits of your vin#. I have seen some as low as 800's. Mine is 4901, aug mfg, and I consider that to be earlier than I would have liked, but no problems so far.
Also there is a thread on MPG that people actually listed their vin# which is pretty interesting.

Somewhere on the forum from back then are threads discussing the first deliveries in Japan, and the announcement of the start of production.

My VIN is 1959 and the build date is June '03 - Elara, I didn't notice the day, just month and year on my door sticker. How did you figure out the day of the month?
As for working the bugs out - I did get the oilpan replaced but have not had any other issues whatsoever. (No flooding, no transmission or clutch issues, door sill metallic bits are still in place etc. etc.)
