MY10 2009 Build vs 2010 Build

Re: MY10 2009 Build vs 2010 Build

My insurance states that it's a my10 and 09 build.. Don't know what all the fuss is about.

I think you are being told the correct information, you just don't understand what you're being told.

As Maverick stated, your insurance is based on when the car was built! In your case it's 2009. This doesn't mean you don't have a 2010 model (i.e. MY10). Because you DO have a MY10. MY10 cars were built from about July onwards (does anyone have the exact month?).

So in summary:
You have a MY10 car, which your insurance company recognises.
Your premium was based on the build date, 2009.
Your resale will be based on the build date, 2009.
Your compliance plate will be 2010, but this only means that's when it passed the ADR changes and checks, and is not a factor in its insurance or resale.

Appreciate the somewhat lengthy reply, but what I stated early was exactly what I was told. Your information definitely sounds more accurate, and it was probably just a case of the insurance rep not wanting to get into further detail, or perhaps s/he were just flat out wrong, but please don't assume I lack the ability to understand simple information when told directly.

When being told explicitly over the phone that my premium etc was based on the car's compliance date, I don't really think there's much room for misinterpretation on my part, no?

In any case thanks for clearing it up.

There is a slight price difference for insurance... $50+...

When i was looking at insurance for my pirelli a few weeks back, i was getting quotes online, and i was like 08 or 09...? it is a my09 but there were 2 years to it... and 09 built is cheaper than 08 built... but apparently all pirellis in australia was built in 08...

So don't know why they have 2 options, i still don't know if mine is a 08 built or 09 built... because if it is done by compliance it wasn't until 2009...

They list two dates when you get a quote (check AAMI's quoting tool out for an example), the first is the year of manufacture and the second is the model year.

ie.
08 VW Golf GTI 2.0l MY09 DSG (built in 08 and a MY09 model)
09 VW Golf GTI 2.0l MY09 DSG (built in 09 and a MY09 model)

Yours is a 2008 build as no Mark V's were built after late 2008 when the factories retooled for the Mark VI. The build date is the date of manufacture. The compliance plate date is the date the car was complianced and the bond was paid.

yeah i know that, you have mentioned that before... but if no MkV were built after 2008... there shouldn't be any 09 VW Golf MY09 around, but there are so many people on carsales and other forums with 09 MY09 mkv cars.

They are either not very smart or they are being deliberately misleading.

see there are conflicting messages... because i bought mine second hand, i don't know if it is a 09 built or 08 built... but maverick said none are built in 09 at all... i always thought mine was 09 built, because the 1st owner didn't buy it till july in 09...

anyways how do i check?

As far as I know for the Pirelli's all of them were built in August 2008. Therefore everyone was MY09 however, some were 2008 version (compliance in 200 while others were 2009 (compliance in 2009).

[Maverick]

Late Pirellis were MY09 and built 09

Impossible as there was no factory to build them in after August 2008 when the last Mark V rolled off the production line.

Pretty sure the plate in the spare wheel well has your build information on it.

Picked up my car today - Checked the boot and it was made on 4/10! Fresh from the factory! Very happy with that.. not that it makes a lot of diff.. but juz the fact that it is really brand new!

Im absolutely lovin' it at the moment, my first golf - Smooth, Speed, Sleek.....Sexy!

Nice work... how did they get it out here so quick if it was only made in Apr 2010?

If i sell a car i'd write MY10 not 2009 anyway so doesn't make that much diff... however my last one was 2008 build and complianced.

Yea G-rig, I do not think there is much diff when you sell the car - Buyers will look out for mileage and how well you kept your car..

I do not know how long it will take to ship cars from the factory... 2 weeks? There is a metal plate at the boot that says Apr -2010... Unless I am reading it incorrectly...

It usually takes over a month to ship the car dosen't it?
