The door post sticker has the build date and VIN. The emissions sticker under the hood has the model year. People sometimes replace hoods with used ones or new ones with no sticker. Sometimes the VIN/GVWR sticker on the door jam gets peeled off or damaged, or on certain vehicles is on the door and the door gets replaced with new or used. The 10th digit of the VIN tells model year, T is 1996, U is not used, V is 97, W is 98, X is 99, Y is 2000, 1 is 01, 2 is 02 and so on. The 1st digit of your VIN is where it was made. 1 is US, 2 is Canada, 3 is Mexico, I believe 4 and 5 mean North American production. W is Germany, S is England, K is Korea, Y is Sweden and J is Japan. All T4R's are Japanese manufactured. Second digit is the manufacturer. G-GM, T-Toyota, F-Ford, etc.
