Its got me confused.
i see MY07, MY08, MY09 for everything, Vee dubs, mitsubishi, nissan the lot... even porsche.
wats the go? what does it mean?
Surely it doesn't mean my 2008 model etc, i mean, if the owner owns it, of course its his/hers, and if its an 2008 model, of course its 08'. Hopefully its not as blunt obvious as that.
is it a spec or sumfin? theres gotta be more to it! GAH! I'm confused.

manufacturing year.
usually can buy an MY08 model car from halfway through 08 to halfway through 09.
see.... air and water do mix 😉
1974 1300
1997 MK3 Golf GL
2003 NB Cabrio
2012 Golf VI GTI
2014 Audi A4 Quattro
example of how model year works
an MY09 can be released as a new model in late 2008 and is continued until the new model MY10 is released say again late 2009 as not to be confused with date of compliance (date of compliance 10/08 but is a 2009 model MY09)
Each year, manufacturers make small changes to the line up. Usually, the first year gets all the goodies, and mixed reliability. The next year's models lose a few things (to keep prices down or to let them adjust pricing), but generally improve in reliability.
In the US, MY10 cars will be appearing any time from around now until the end of the year. Most come out in August as this is close to the end of the quarter, and folks are just coming back from holiday.
Volkswagen is about the only manufacturer I'm aware of that does 0.5 year increments. The Turbo Beetle I had, had a 2001.5 Model Year, which lost the rotating trunk lid emblem / trunk latch, and gained a lot in terms of reliability. You definitely want this one and not the 2001 MY like mine if you're thinking second hand Turbo Beetles - if it has a rotating VW badge out the back, avoid.

It actually means Manufactored Year MY07 was made in 2007

Lee,
That might be the way it is done here historically, but the practice in the US is as I said.

That car is on sale now - you can buy it and have it in your garage today if you lived over there. It would have been made no later than April / May this year (2009).
thanks,

The MY designation makes reference to model year, not manufactured year. I cannot find a direct reference to it's definition, but this is the way it is used in the motoring press as per the link I have attached.
http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=59394&vf=1German vehicles usually have Bj, which is an abbreviation of Baujahr.
Translated, means Build Year. Same thing.
Most people seem normal, till you get to know them.
I know of another, altogether more pleasant, meaning for the BJ acronym...
😂
A POSSE AD ESSE.
I live in my own little world, but it's okay, they know me here.
