How do I determine my MS3's Production Number?

[Speedy3]

I see that Rainman has a guess at his, but how do you figure out what the number is off the production line?

 

[C'ville]

Last 4 digits of the vin I believe.

 

[TheMAN]

no
you have to call mazda and ask

 

[C'ville]

I called they said there is no way to tell the production number.(boom08)
I call BS(notcool)

no
you have to call mazda and ask

 

[C'ville]

But if you look after the number 7 in your vin what are the next 4 numbers?
I know the 7 is the year after that I have 1662, maybe we can tell if other people post those numbers.

 

[Mr.Jake]

Mine says 1638 after the 7.

 

[C'ville]

maybe we are on to something, we need more numbers.

Mine says 1638 after the 7.

 

[kokemon23]

Mine is 1645

 

[C'ville]

Looks like a possibility so far.

Mine is 1645

 

[Mr.Jake]

When I checked my glovebox when I first brought it home, there were these small marker tags in Japanese sitting in there. There were about four of them... they all said 1215 in big numbers and I just kinda assumed that was my production number from the factory.
I'll check the VIN right quick to see if it matches.

Nope.. the last 4 on mine are 8754

That would be impossible right? There are not nearly 9000 of these cars yet are there?

Here's how the did the MSP's just for reference:

[Mr.Jake]

Not the last four numbers, look at the 4 numbers after the 7. The number 7 should be the first set of the 8 last numbers. The following 4 is the set of number we are talking about. Double check now cause the last 4 on mine begin with an 8 aswell.

 

[Mr.Jake]

Oops sorry you beat me to that last post. Never mind now I am stumped. I will talk to my friend that works for mazda, he should know.

 

[Wes]

WHOOPS! (stoned)

I'm 1658

 

[ReFlex]

Did i mention that mind was 0000...Just checking

 

[SAVAGE70]

I dont have my car in my possession as of yet. I do have the VIN#. After the 7 mine says 1709

 

[Vixen]

1627
