Approximate build date
I'm trying to work out a deal on a new 2011 Coupe. I believe that this car has been on the lot for quite a while. I want to use that to my advantage. Unfortunately, I didn't look for the date while I was there today. Can anyone give me a ballpark build date based on the VIN ending in 5105391?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Rick: If your estimate is in the ballpark then they've been sitting on this car for nearly a year. I figure they should pay me to take it off of their hands at this point. 
boraxman: I tried that site but it didn't recognize the VIN. Going in to search by manufacturer, it looks like they only go through 2008.
Thanks to you both. I appreciate the information. If anyone else knows a more specific date (perhaps your VIN is near that range), please let me know.

My vin# is 5105304 and the date stamped on my title from GM is 11/11/10. I would have to say the car you are looking at was made a few days later. I bought mine out of the showroom, so I'm not sure when it arrived at the dealership.

I appreciate the offer but I don't think I need to know an exact date. It looks like it was late 2010 which tells me that it's been sitting there quite a while as I thought. I'll keep you in mind though. Thanks.
