There's a sticker in the door jamb that has the month/year on it. If you want the day, any Chevy dealer can pull it or you can buy the build sheet from the museum.

Why would you assume you'd have problems with your car based on the month and year it was built? Sounds like zodiac thinking to me...

thats just me being a worry wart, after reading about all the problems with the A8 it seems to be more in the early production then the later.
But my car is a dream to drive and I am getting pretty good with the shifting. Thanks for the reply
