I have bought an JDM FD and I was wondering if you can tell the model year of the car by looking at the VIN-number?
My VIN: FD3S-404184

Because the seller says it's an 97 but in the registration paper it says it's a 96.

But it is registratet as a 96.
I think the seller just screwed me over.
Wouldn't really surprise me. have found some really strange things that the seller also forgot to mention.

Google "Frameno".

It was built on 13th September 1996.
