How can I tell if its an O2 model

I'm looking to buy a SLK in Korea.. there are tons of them for sale.. but one that came out today kind of stands out.. the owner says its an 02 model. . but its selling closer too 00 prices.. he says he needs to sell it ASAP..

Is there anyway I can tell if its an 02 model? Any clear indications VIN code, certain features, etc... a quick answer would be helpful..

Thanks everyone!

On a side note.. this one guy was convinced that it was okay to claim his 99 model was a 02 because he imported it in 02.. just plain weird..

Put 17 digit VIN into this . It should give the info you require

Anything else other than the VIN... maybe some features changes for 02 models..

Take a look at the driver's side door jamb, near the door latch. There will be a builders plate that states the month and year the car was built.
