Default Build Date

Where/how would I find the build date of my car? I've seen minor differences in cars built within the same year, hence the interest. BTW, a 2001 S4.

Default On the door frame

There's a badge there -- on the driver's door, on the A pillar, which you can see with the door open. The build date is there.

If you ordered it custom, the build date is typically 1 to 3 months before you received it.

Default It's like 3600ish

Not sure what gross vehicle weight means, exactly. That might be expected weight with 4 adults and stuff in the trunk.

The car doesn't weigh 4800 lbs... gross vehicle weight is something else.

Default We're brothers in build date and color

Maybe yours and mine saw each other in the factory ;-)

Default Quite possibly!

What port did yours come into? Mine was Houston.

I believe my car was a 1st week of April build.
