why my coupe has a 12 / 88 in the vin number?

[M3SP5]

it is a 90 coupe full power but no sun roof, not much to say that is a regular 90 coupe but in the vin on the drivers side it stamped 12/88. Ive had 17 240sx and never seen these before not even in my vert.

HOLY ****!! That means your 240 was the 12th 240sx made out of the first 88 promotional manufactured batch in 1990.

Give us some pics of your vehicle please, that thing's history.

i'm pretty sure that's the manufacture date, which would technically make it an '89. but since you're in pr, and assuming that your car was originally sold on the island and not shipped over by an owner, by them time it got there, it was probably passed the 1990 model year threshold. so it got titled as a '90. of course that's what would make sense to me anyways.

Most likely

I think the only thing to try to determine is if your 88 is one of the higher compression KAe's that I have heard a friend talk about. I do not know when in 88 the 240sx with the highest comp kae were made.

When my mom bought her 240, she bought it in 88 then received it in 89, brand new.

i think is an 1989 or 1990 they just gave the car to me a couple of days ago probably is was made in December 88' and sold as a 89 that makes sense.

That is the STUPIDEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD.

The car rolled out in December 1988 as a 89 model.
