First off let me say hi to everyone... This site is very informative. I bought my vx about 2 months ago and I LOVE it... Its amazing all the comments that I get. Its seems that everyone knows what production number that there vx is.. How do I find out what number mine was?? Thanks
The last four numbers of your VIN (driver's side dash up by the glass) is your production number for your model year. For example, mine ends in ...991613. 1999, number 1613.
Thank You....
I was curious about the VIN format also, and found this interesting report: http://www.kerrywilson.com/vin.htm
This contradicts Haraclid somewhat - but my VIN didn't work with that formula (it ends with D01395). According to this document, the 10th character is the year of manufacture:
B = 1981 G = 1986 M = 1991 T = 1996 1 = 2001 6 = 2006
C = 1982 H = 1987 N = 1992 V = 1997 2 = 2002 7 = 2007
D = 1983 J = 1988 P = 1993 W = 1998 3 = 2003 8 = 2008
E = 1984 K = 1989 R = 1994 X = 1999 4 = 2004 9 = 2009
F = 1985 L = 1990 S = 1995 Y = 2000 5 = 2005
Dug this out from the other forum...

Must be inaccurate since only 1345 were made in 01 supposedly and mine is the 1393rd for 01.
According to an Isuzu exec who responded to Anita, there were 4,309 exported from Japan. This total includes the US distributed VXes and others that went elsewhere. My guess is that the totals reflected in that table above only show the color distribution for the US marketed ones.
