There was some discussion about it a few days ago. I noticed my sticker says 10-10-06 and the inside of the door says 11-17-06. Which is the correct build date?

 

My window sticker says 4-27-06 which is my blend date, whatever the heck that means.

Receipt Date: 3/15/2006
Serialize Date: 3/23/2006
Segment Date: 3/23/2006
Sequence Date: 4/21/2006
Blend Date: 4/27/2006
Produced Date: 5/5/2006
Gate Release Date: 5/5/2006
Ship Date: 5/5/2006
Arrival Date: 5/12/2006
Sold Date: 8/26/2006

 

blend date is not the build date.


Blend Date: The date that MP&L determines when the order will be built within the assigned day.
When they figure the specific order that vehicles will be built. This depends on options and line constraints.

 

I have two build dates! On the lower right of the MSRP sticker it says 02 16 06, and on my Oasis info it says Build Date: 2/25/06 I don't know....my door jamb sticker says 2/06, so at least I do know it was in Feb '06!!

 

your blend date was 2-16, build was 2-25

 

here is what everything means:

Receipt Date: The date that MS&S recorded the order.
When the order is received from the dealers

Serialize Date: The date that MS&S transfers the order to MP&L and the VIN is created.
When the order is received by Material Planning and parts are ordered

Segment Date: The date that MP&L determines which week the order will be built.
When they figure what week that parts will be able to be delivered to the plant to build the vehicle

Sequence Date: The date that MP&L determines which day the order will be built.
When they figure what day that parts can be at the plant to build the vehicle

Blend Date: The date that MP&L determines when the order will be built within the assigned day.
When they figure the specific order that vehicles will be built. This depends on options and line constraints.

Produced Date: The date that VO finished assembling the vehicle
Your unit has been built!

Gate Release Date: The date that VO transfers the vehicle to Transportation Carriers for shipping
Your unit has left the building, and is in the hands of the shipper (rail or truck)

Ship Date: The date the vehicle left the Assembly Plant
Your unit has left the load site, and is on it's way to the dealer

Arrival Date: The date the Dealership received the vehicle
Your dealer has the unit in hand, doing the dealer prep thingy

Sold Date: The date the Customer picked up the vehicle
You came in, looked it over, said, "I'll take it!" and signed the papers
