Maxx, If this is the car that you are looking at, just have the dealer look at the information sticker on the inside doorsill of the driver's door. The build date will be there next to the other car-specific information.
If the dealership wants the sale, it should be no problem to walk out an look at the car for you if you're not physically there to check it out yourself.

This car was built 09/02/03

It also has the air-bag recall and the MSP04 reflash open.

Sorry G8rboy. I just want to let the person know if they buy it used ( and i assume they are looking to since it was first sold in march) that they get the recalls addressed.
