Car Forum / Volvo Cars / March 2005V 70 2001 / 2002 Model
I have bought a V70 Which was first registered in October 2001. I have now been advised that based on the service book the car is a 2002 model, is this possible and if so how. i think the vin number should tell you.... Our 1993 model year 960 was produced November 1992... Basically any car made past summer of the current year are next years models, or so it would seem... Notice how all the 05's were out way before newyears? >I have bought a V70 Which was first registered in October 2001. > I have now been advised that based on the service book the car is a 2002 > model, is this possible and if so how. > Our 1993 model year 960 was produced November 1992...

In april 2003 my school bought a bran new V70, registered as a -04. /Erik Lid?n > I have bought a V70 Which was first registered in October 2001. > I have now been advised that based on the service book the car is a 2002 > model, is this possible and if so how. I think every model is produced since august previous year (my v70 model 2000 is produced 10'1999, first registered 10.12.1999) the same thing is in other cars (at least Opel and VW) "Andy Mann" <tom@tom_tom.com>: > I have bought a V70 Which was first registered in October 2001. > I have now been advised that based on the service book the car is a 2002 > model, is this possible and if so how. In Pennsylvania I bought an Austin Healey Sprite that had been on the dealer's lot for a while. They didn't make changes very many years. That year they didn't make any changes so the 1964 model became a 1965 model on September 1, 1964. It is normal for a true new model to be introduced the year before. I have never heard of a model being introduced on January 1. It just doesn't happen. However, models like the "2003" XC90 was introduced in the middle of 2002 but was prohibited from being registered as a "2003 model" until some date like September 1st.  SignatureCheers, Steve Henning in Reading, PA, USA Owned '67,'68,'71,'74,'79,'81,'87,'93,'95 & '02 Volvos. The '67,'74,'79,'87,'95 and '02 through European Delivery. http://home.earthlink.net/~rhodyman/volvo.html > "Andy Mann" <tom@tom_tom.com>: > > I have bought a V70 Which was first registered in October 2001. [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > The '67,'74,'79,'87,'95 and '02 through European Delivery. > http://home.earthlink.net/~rhodyman/volvo.html Actually in the US, from what I understand the law is only one January 1st per model year. Any car made between Jan 2 2002 and Dec 31 2003 (almost 2 complete years) can be called a 2003 model. Although I don't know for a fact I think Canada is the same. SignatureMike F. Thornhill (near Toronto), Ont. Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly. (But I check the newsgroup more often than this email address.) Check your VIN, 8. digit from left. If it is 1 then it is 2001 model. My Volvo was ordered on April 2003 and it is 2004 model. On the market in Finland it is 2003 "model" because it is forst registered in 2003. I don't how it is in your country.
