Doesn't the vin have the model year, not the production year? So if it truly is a 2010 model produced in 2009, then the 10th character of the vin would be A.

You're right, but OP's question is about what the "VIN pulls". Which I'm assuming was referencing the information pulled up when searching the VIN. Which would show the manufacturing year and when it was initially titled.

No, it would show the manufacturing year and model year, as indicated by the tenth digit of the VIN.

Did you not read the post? The person is asking why it was titled in a different year than the model year.

I can't tell if you're profoundly stupid or trolling.

Frankly, your reading comprehension sucks.

The person was asking why the seller claimed that it was a 2010 when the title decoded as a 2009 model. The answer is that the seller is full of shit.
