Caveat Emptor

That doesn't sound right for a motor vehicle. Honda did that?

Having said that I ordered my utility towing trailer from a dealer and had to wait for it to come in. When it did come in, the manufacturer's build date was 3 years older than my purchase date. I was told that's common practice with utility trailers. They build a zillion of them, park them out in a lot, then title them as new when they are eventually sold..even if it's 3 years later.

From the Sales Team at Honda - Vehicle Year
For motor vehicles registered before 1 January 2007, “vehicle year” means the year of manufacture or the model year or the year of first registration. For motor vehicles registered after 1 January 2007, “vehicle year” means the year of first registration anywhere in the world. I would have seriously looked at the purchase price if I had know it was 2 years old. That said, I am enjoying the machine for what it is and the smile it brings to my face.

There's probably not a lot you can do about it, so I'd go with that last thought and just enjoy it. IT doesn't know how old it is.

That was my way of thinking....eventually! Its the principle that has bugged me more than anything.
