Options on my car?
OK, this may sound like a stupid question, but bear with me. Is there any sort of website where you can put in your car's VIN and get the list of options installed on the car? 
The only reason I ask is that I bought the car used from a dealer and they didn't tell me all the options on it. 
Thanks

I did that and a very nice person got back to me with the date it was made, where it was sold, and what options I got with the car. They knew more about me then my Doctor....
Read a few of the posts and you will see what is included with the feedback.

Take the VIN to the dealer and they can run it in their computer system - they should be able to tell you the build date, all options and the service history.

A definite must if you bought a "pre owned" car. A new thread was just started. Through this I found out that my '02 was originally purchased with a 6yr./75Kmi. GMPP warranty. I was able to transfer it into my name for $35.
I definitely owe SpongeVette a beer, or two, or three if I ever meet him

We owe Sponge Vette big time and we need to do something about it. I found thru him that mine has the same warranty. What's the proccedure for getting it in your name?

Actually, I called GMPP, and they told me that there was a 95% chance that it would not be noticed that the car was sold more that 30 days before. So it was a calculated gamble
Good luck. I hope your stars line up as mine did.

And this site has one of the more comprehensive lists of C5 RPO Codes that I have seen.
