I think you'll find it is #3 (that's the most common number sign here, pronounced pound or hash). I never really understood the whole year thing either for exactly the reasons you stated. So when you buy an '03 it could actually be 12 yrs old not 10. On the same tip, you could have bought a '14 earlier this year and drive it for almost two years and still sell it a current year model at the end of next year. Can't help with the US car auction question as I live in Canada.
