Question When was my car built?

I finally found out that i have the 2008 model, instead of 2009.
Car was ordered on the 1st of april, & delivered at the dealer on the 29th of July. (based on these dates some people here said it would be a 2009)

anywat how can i find out when the car was built?
i found the VIN number, both under seat in in doorpost, but no mention of any date...

My 2008 has the build month and year on a label stuck to the driver's door post. I don't know if that's a US requirement or if other countries have the sticker.

So you have an old car

But do you care it's a 2008?

04 Civic Hopefully an 00-02 E55 one day
the 8th digit from the last of your VIN # should tell you the year.
