Do you know if the VIN will decode the options on a C6. I'm looking at a 2010 GS and want to confirm the options. Thanks for any help.

 

With the VIN a dealer can tell you how the vehicle was built.

 

No not by you reading the VIN... but look in the glove compartment and the RPO codes are there thus you can see how the car was optioned.

Here is what you can get from your VIN:

Wow, you are awesome! Thanks very much JimTN!

 

You're welcome. Note that I edited the list.

I've got such a poor memory, but my computer hard drive has Gigs & Gigs of space, so I save a lot of things about Corvettes.

 

Also the C6 FAQs thread at the top of this forum has this sort of useful information in it. The FAQs are terrific but underutilized.

 

Uh huh .............. what he said !

 

Got it, I'll take advantage of the info if I have additional questions. Thanks for mentioning it.
