I wouldn't think so. You can try googling it and see if anything comes up. Sometimes manufactures will stamp the make/model on the buggy somewhere. On mine, it is on a sticker just in front of the driver's seat. Have you looked for something like that?

Yes and no...

The manufacturer's know what the VIN #s mean - often the first 4-5 characters mean a specific model/year, but it's an internal code and not obvious to the outsider.

If you know the manufacturer of the buggy and call them with the VIN number, I'm pretty sure they should be able to tell you which particular model and year it is.

You may not get this info from the person who answers the phone, and you may have to ask to speak to someone in tech support who knows more about this stuff.

Good luck!

ya nearly impossible. You'll have better luck just posting a pic and letting us figure out what it is! The 10th character will tell you the year model though.

2005 model. I still think it may be a Jehm. They were around back then too.
