None of the companies that buy cars look at the production month/year, they only look at the model year listed as part of the VIN and calculate the value based on that.Well, think of it this way. I have two identical cars, both 2022's. One car's date code states March 3rd 2022. The other car has a date code of October 25 2022. Which one would you want?
My point is the date placard would have the definitive value, depending on condition.
