Any GM dealer will print a VIS (shows all GM dealer repairs) and build sheet (shows all options) for free.

Really?
What part shouldn't someone count on?
The VIS giving repair history?
The build sheet giving the options on the car?
The GM dealer printing them?
The GM dealer doing it for free?
Please enlighten us.

To begin with, OP is not looking for repair history.

Not very many dealers will run it for you unless you bought it there.

Even fewer dealers will do it free.

The build sheet doesn't list some of the options that the RPO code sheet does.

Reread the first post that created this thread. What is OP looking for?

I forgot. You're the moderator, ergo you're right; I'm wrong.
I'm done.

Just so there is no confusion:
You could find a RPO code sticker in your glove compartment. My 2005 had one, my 2007 had one, my 2011 does not,
You could order a VIN specific window sticker and build sheet from the National Corvette Museum. I did that for my 1989.
You could ask a GM dealer to print a VIN specific Build Sheet through their "workbench for service" system which will show the options. I did that for my 2001, 2005, 2007, and 2011. None of the dealers charged me, even though I only purchased the car from one, did service and parts with two, and had no dealings with one.
You could ask a GM dealer to print a VIN specific Vehicle Report through their "workbench for service" system which will show repair work done at GM shops in case you are interested. I did that for my 2001, 2005, 2007, and 2011. None of the dealers charged me, even though I only purchased the car from one, did service and parts with two, and had no dealings with one.
I hope that clarifies things. I did not intend to mislead you.

Ugh, this again. The "build sheet" is not always accurate. If there's a RPO sticker in the glovebox, go with that. If for some strange reason it's missing, then I guess there aren't any other options.

Either you've been eating too much granola or your Berks are too tight.

Options as in choices. Not options on the car...

I noticed you picked up some new lingo with "workbench for service" too. Funny.

That's me...funny. Obviously you don't have either repair or build sheet. No "picked up...new lingo"; that's what it says on the (according to some) expensive, unobtainable, blatantly incorrect documents.
No other "options as in choices"? Now you're funny.
Jeezus, just shoot me.

Your knowledge of "workbench for service" and "the VIS" are as astounding as your reading comprehension. I corrected you based on real experience (thousands of "VIS" inquiries) on the last thread and attempted to do the same here, but your ignorance won't let it happen. Good luck.

OP--sorry for continuing the thread hijack. I'm done.
