Did a search and couldn't find anything so here we go... I was cleaning my Yaris the other day and was wiping down the door jam areas. The date of production shows 04/06(I remember that we bought the first one our particular dealership received - we actually were looking for a Corolla and it caught our eye). Anyways, is there a way of knowing what the actual production number is?

There's some kind of letters/numbers code also, but I don't know how to decipher it. We were just talking about how long we've had it and I thought it would be interesting to know.

Side note - we're looking for a new car and the one I'm really interested in has a lot of bugs and 'first model year issues'(from the forums I've been reading)I don't remember having any problems with the Yaris even though it was a brand-new model! I'd get another Yaris, but we need something bigger. I guess I've been spoiled with Toyota quality, but I just can't get excited about the looks of the bigger models.

the vin number. the last 5 or 6 numbers (depending on make) are the production number.

The last 6 should be your serial number. If you're really curious, you can PM me your VIN and I can pull up its actual production date. I work for Toyota, so I have access. lol.
