Hi guys,

yeah there are two dates usually. like my dads 06 slk 55 amg. it was built november 05 but was an 06 model year. remember most car manufactures start releasing next year cars mounths before it is officaly that year. if you look at your ownsers manual or any documenatino it will say 2008 not 2007 except for the buid date.
