Default Early model?








I traded my 03 for a 08 at a Dealer yesterday!

I think that this is a very early model 08 as the serial number is 100006 and it was delivered to GM at Warren Michigan. According to the build sheet, it was built 4-24-07 Black Convertible, 3LT, Power Top, Z51, NAV, NPP

I googled the serial number today and my car shows up. I googled all of the numbers in my cars range 1 through 10 and mine is the only one to show up? Am I wrong in assuming that the first numbers and letters would be the same? In my case my full VIN is 1G1YY36W685100006. I went on assumption that only the last 6 digits change?

Look for NPP. The pictures in your other post show the valves. Could have been added after purchase by the previous owner.

Congrats on the new car- the low serial numbers typically receive greater quality control scrutiny.

You can always post a picture of the options sticker on the glove box door if you'd like help decoding the options.

I actually have a copy of the window sticker and it shows no NPP.

I just got it yesterday and I emailed the previous owner. He did not add it and the owner before Him was a Dealer which I have not contacted yet. Prior to that, it was a GM car that was delivered to Warren Mi.

I will keep digging.

Thank you all!

Wow, perfect color, and someone is going to enjoy the summer, with wind blowing though your hair, don't burn from the sun.

I have not seen any! My last car was a 03 Vert. I think that I put the top down twice in 3 years.

I stopped at the Dealer yesterday and got a copy of the "BUILD SHEET" as suggested by another member. I have attached a copy. This is indeed a early car!

Very cool build sheet. Nice to know you have "antenna diversity"...

Did anything odd show up on the VIS "Vehicle Report"?

I replaced the fuse but it still is not working. I looked under the back end this afternoon and found that a hose was off one of the actuators. I put it back on and started the car but it still had both actuators open.

I ordered a mild to wild kit so I will wait for it to come in to dig deeper in to the problem.
