From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the production date of a product. For the use in computer modeling, see model year (computer modeling).
The model year of a product is a number used worldwide, but with a high level of prominence in North America, to describe approximately when a product was produced, and it usually indicates the coinciding base specification (design revision number) of that product.
The model year and the actual calendar year of production do not always coincide. For example, a 2009 model year automobile is available during most of the 2009 calendar year, but is usually also available from the third quarter of 2008 because production of the 2009 model began in July and August 2008. When a brand new model is introduced there may be an additional delay to retool and retrain for production of the new model.[citation needed]
The variables of build date and design revision number are semi-independent. There is no natural law that forces one to be strictly correlated to the other, other than the two facts that (1) future design revisions cannot have been built in the past, and (2) most products, in most contexts, tend to be built to the design revision that was the latest one at the time of building. The idea of strongly correlating build year to design revision number took many years to become a meme in consumer culture.

I imagine that afterwards the sales person don't want to entertain your questions as the sale was final.
Try talking to the Sales Manager or General Manager and give your side of the story and see what they can do to help. And quite simply if you are not satisfied with response, legal action is always your alternative.
Don't mind some of the guys on this forum, some of them are more experience with the local companies and come to expect certain shortfalls. You being a new car buyer would tend to trust the dealership to give you a fair deal, but you need to remember at the end of the day- they are all profit driven enterprises.
My advice to you, request a meeting to the people i mentioned and if you could - record your conversation with them , then speak to your lawyer and weigh your options.

Allow Customer (Shra) to decide .... Do not "bait & switch" and then say the now famous words by our PM " my hands are clean and my heart pure " . The sales person, Ms. J Ali (JA) can be viewed or comes across as an alleged hustler in a $237,000 (TT) money transaction and by extension N&M. Top Management ( not the sales people ) need to act and calmly deal with the situation since JA seems to be playing games with a high and might attitude with legal consequences. Offer Shra 2 or 3 free services, courtesy car when she comes for service, a running board to add value etc. Top Management will see value in the above to retain Shra with the respect she deserves and turn JA hustle in future business for NM and its shareholders and its employees.

Answer my question.
If you receive a licensed vehicle in May 2013, when was it manufactured?

My expectation would be in 2013 ( Jan 2013 onwards to be specific). DJ Q I respect your view ; I would ask these questions being more experienced. If JA told me 2011 or 2012, I would wait if I wanted 2013 to be on my Certificate of Ownership. Professional Salespeople advise you rather than hustle you and then allow you to make your decision. They depend on referrals. Peace.
