what year is this coach

don't u think after 8 years of being registered the registration the new owner has should be the actual registration

Should, but the reality is that the local DMV who processed the original paperwork are made up of primarily button pushers. The original owner assumes the person at the counter is an "expert" and doesn't question it. The person at the counter is very used to working with cars, and doesn't understand the concept of a multi-stage vehicle or the regulations regard such. A little searching on the web shows that this problem exists all too often. The other thing that just adds confusion is that there are 4 states who require disclosure of the date of manufacture of the chassis. Because it is disclosed, that confuses other states when those disclosure records show up when the coach is sold some time down the road. Model year and manufacture year are unrelated.
