    Finding year build in serial number?

    Ok guys going to auction to pick up a Focus or Fusion for my mother in law. One of the hazards of being married to a german wife!
    Going to look for a 2006 or 2007 so I don't have to give up the total bank! Isn't there a way from serial number to know when built? Or do I have to do a oasis report? Have 9 cars to look at re the auction listings!


    HELP!

    10th digit of the vin tells you year... if it is a 1 its a 2001 a 2 then its a 2002 ect 2010 is A and the older models are letters and even before that is numbers. Yes you can also look on the door it should say build date XX/XXXX so if yours was built in june of 2005 it would say 06/2005 (Be careful with this because if it was built late in the year it may be the next model year...) Hope this helps
