Default Help

I cant get the 50th anniversary data base search to work for me. I'm looking to find out exactly how many 2003 AE 6spd coupes with two tops, 12 disc changer and no bsm were made. If someone could tell me I'd greatly appreciate it and buy you a beer if you live within 50 miles of rural Walton NY

BSMs are typically installed by dealers, so you might not get any info on them.

BSM's are factory ordered items. Also a title of "help" is one reason that makes search so vague when you try to find a similar issue to what your searching for. A good title might be "Help with 03 Anniv options", or "how many 03's were made with ...".
Are you trying to see if your car is "RARE"?

They were also installed by dealers wanting to jack up the price of a car, as well as by some owners who installed them (or had them installed) after the car was purchased or as part of a purchase deal.

Good point. I know its not rare but if I every decide to sell it I thought the lower the number may make negotiations better.

Lets forget about the bsm. Can anyone answer my original question? Thanks

They were factory installed options. Some were added by dealers, but check the window stickers and RPO codes on the glove box.

It really doesn't. It just sounds like you're trying to jack up the price. There were so many C5's made that the number of each option is irrelevant. When I see "rare" in an ad for a C5, I usually move on to another ad.

Good luck finding this info. GM certainly doesn't keep records of all the various option combos on the cars.
