Hey thanx for your suggestion! It did help. Although the more I look, the more vin decoders I find that tell me different ways to decode. I will get to the bottom of it, but it might take a little longer than I expected.

Here you go:
The tenth character represents the year of the car. Pay close attention to this one:
B = 1981 F = 1985 K = 1989 P = 1993 V = 1997 1 = 2001
C = 1982 G = 1986 L = 1990 R = 1994 W = 1998 2 = 2002
D = 1983 H = 1987 M = 1991 S = 1995 X = 1999 3 = 2003
E = 1984 J = 1988 N = 1992 T = 1996 Y = 2000
