CU2 Build/Compliance Date

[denot]

I bought mine in Mar'09 last month - and got Oct'08 so it's safe to say maybe there's no 2009 build yet unless you have to get your car shipped from the factory, really depends on what the dealer's got and holding at the time.

what I mean is... so current "2009 Honda Accord Euro" it should be called "2008 Honda Accord Euro"?

If the current 2009 is 2008 built, but still can be called "2009 Honda Accord Euro" (no legal issue), then the main point is the "compliance" date not the "build" date. So you cant use the term "Cause it was build on 2008, the price should be a bit cheaper" when buying "2009 Honda Accord Euro" with 08 build date (no matter if you are a dealer or customer).

I see, hmm however it looks like there's quite a fair bit of other forum users here with the "pinging" issues to which the build date would be of significant interest.

I'll go and check when my Euro's been complianced.

No the build date is the most important.If 2 Euros,the first 1 had build 08 and compliance 09 and the 2nd.one had build 09 and compliance the 2nd one,assuming they were being traded/sold at the same time would fetch more without a doubt.Dealers tell you when you are BUYING is doesn't matter but when it comes to selling you get a different story.

Ok, so based on your saying tony, I'm correct by saying there's no "2009 Honda Accord Euro" yet in Oz. Is this what you mean?

No i don't think there are any 09 build and compliance cars on the showroom floor yet,but if there aren't any now they wont be too far away.Depends on the number of cars being held by HA in holding yards.Usually in any given year you don't see that year build on the showroom floor before April but considering the world economy that may change.

I see, so if someone just purchase a CU2 recently, when they want to sell it again they shouldnt put "2009 Honda Accord Euro CU2" as the title, correct? coz basically its "2008 Honda Accord Euro CU2".

Technically no.The correct description should be MY2009.
