    I'm sure there must be a way to do it as I've had a number of people
    tell me when their car was built, but is there a place online I can
    enter my VIN number to find out when Honda built it?

    Thanks.

    Look on the door jam for the federal sticker. VIN# do not
    list the build date. A dealer can run the VIN for you and look
    up the build date and in service date.

    It is simpler than that. The VIN specifies the year.
    If my memory is good, it is the the letter by the end of the VIN that tells
    the year.
    I'm sure someone else here will be able to give more details.
    There also should be a sticker on the driver door frame.

    It is the tenth digit (coded) that denotes the year, but that is
    not he is looking for. He is looking for the build date
    for warranty purposes.

    No, mike ****, warranty begins the day the car is delivered, not when its
    built.

    For that, I guess his local Honda dealer would be the most reliable place.

    The the warranty start date is indeed the delivery date but for
    warranty purposes one often needs the build date to determine
    certain extended warranty coverage, TSB's or for parts.
