Build Date
Is it possible to know the build date from looking at the VIN?

RE: Build Date
yes, but you can also look in the drivers door jamb.

RE: Build Date
Thanks but, I knew that, but per Chevy's website, you can search inventory of dealers in your area. There is a dealer that has the exact model that I am interested in, color and everything. The dealers close to me do not have anything but Ls, LT1 and LT2. The website shows the VIN, and I really do not want to drive 90 miles to see it if it is a onld build date.
Thanks again for the info about the door jam, but it kind of defeats the purpose of not driving over an hour. :) |

RE: Build Date
You can just call that dealer that has it and have them look on the invoice? I had to do this right before I got my Tahoe...they were going to do a dealer trade for the truck I saw on the internet. I called, and found out the truck was 6 months old already! Used that as leverage when they got it, and demanded a newer vehicle or I was walking...they "found" a brand new one that they had ordered for the dealer, it was just being unloaded off the train from GM...
Anyways, a simple phone call to that dealer would get you the info...I know, not as easy as seeing on the internet, but better than driving 90 miles to check the sticker... |

Thanks ZX, is that build date okay? I thought I read some place about the 06 models having issues that the 07 builds were not. What are your thoughts? Thanks again.
