Count back 8 digits from the end of your serial number (VIN). A 01 has a 1, and a 02 has a 2.
The 8th digit from the right, that tells the model year, period. It's an international digit for year model, in all types of vehicles
If the 8th digit back is a 1, the year model is 2001, regardless of production date. 2000 and older stopped at the end of the alphabet (no Z, it can look like a 2), so if it's a Y, it's a 2000, X is 1999, and so on. No U's, Q's, O's, or I's either. Starts with B for 1981. A build date of 1/1/01 can technically be called a 2002 model. The 8th digit back is it for year model.
