Congrats on picking a great vehicle. I have a Bonavista as well that we bought a bit over 5 years ago. Original owner leased it for 3 years. Sadly I do not have the badging number or plaque left in the car so I have no clue as to what number it was. Was built in Oct 06. I have looked after mine very well, and it drives and handles great. If you want it to handle even better change to 225 55 17 tires. Maybe its like an old pair of jeans, but recently I test drove the new Rogue and found it to be less enjoyable to drive. Hope to keep ours for a good while yet. There is nothing quite like it available in the market anymore.

Production # 3480
Build Date: October 2006
Purchase Date: August 13, 2015 - 3rd Owner (2nd owner was excellent to this vehicle! NO rust, low mileage, perfect inspection)
Location: St. John's, Newfoundland

Been looking for a gently-used X-Trail for over a year - finally found 'the one'. :)

Mine was made in July as well, so its probably close in number to yours,
It doesn't look as though the badge numbers are sequential to the production date. Somebody in this thread has #1111 built in July, another has #3400 built in October. I wonder if the production date is the date the chassis, body and engine were put together and the Bonavista trim package was added later.

I was curious so I googled sales numbers

It looks like the X Trail sold about 810 units in Canada in June of 2006 (all trims). There's difference of 3000+ in the badge numbers between between Bonavista editions produced in July and September/October. Since Bonavista editions must be in the minority of units sold and they are only sold in Canada, the badge numbers can't be sequential or related to the production date. I would imagine the Bonavista trim package is installed in Canada and the badge number has some regional designation.
