Plate Number & Car Model Year

[oyam2157]

Ask ko lang po paano malalaman ang binibili sasakyan kung totoo nga exacto sa model ang sinasabi ng seller kita ba sa plaka at kung ex taxi malalaman ba sa palka ng sasakyan na binibenta? Kasi parang napapansin ko sa mga nagbebenta di sinasabi ang totoo model gusto maka gulang at dinadaya kawawa naman ang buyer kung di alam.

kung occular inspection lang, mahirap talaga especially kung na modify na. check the OR/CR then check have the papers checked by LTO.
quick reference naman, text mo LTO: type LTO VEHICLE <Plate Number> then send mo sa 2600. sample: LTO VEHICLE ABC123 then send sa 2600. It'll show you make and model, pero nde ung trim version. included rin yung last registered date and if meron LTO apprehensions and alarms..

the best pa ren if you can bring the auto and papers sa LTO lalo na kung may intention ka talaga to buy the car.

this i believe is the best answer. dati i was able to memorize the plate number vis-a-vis model year release for both Baguio and Manila like the year model example is USR-2*0 was released in 1997, ZMJ-*56 was released in 2008 and PPA-2** released in 1989... but i could be wrong and is purely based on approximation- lalo na hindi mo ma-tsamba when the plate is customized...

heed to badbadtz.carlo's advice, i suggest. HTH...

tama sila, di ganung ka accurate eh. yung S3 ko lang. TSZ ang plate, 96 model. If you are going to follow it, it should be starting with U na.

[1997]

They say more or less lang naman kasi depende kung saang LTO 1st registered... Kung bihira dun mag pa rehistro most probably makuha mong rehistro eh medjo late yung letter... kung madami naman sa isang particular LTO mas advance yung letter ng plate number...

Like yung 97 na VTi namin "W" ang start ng plate while our Corolla 98 starts at "U". So more or less ang "U" na plate eh from 95 to 98... While yung "W" eh 97 to 99...
