Default Help with window sticker/options lookup

I’m looking at potentially buying a used GS and it’s not at a Chevy dealer (which I’d prefer).

Any advice on how to look up/confirm what model it is and what all options came on a vehicle?

I tried googling looking this up with the VIN but most of the tools don’t seem to work. Since the car is an hour+ from me, would like to confirm everything before driving out there.

Appreviate the help!

All the options are listed near the battery under the rear carpet. Have them send you a photo.

You have a FREE option for a quick lookup:

If you want the actual Window Sticker - you can order it from the Corvette Museum - it costs about $100 (laminated) and that will include the Build Sheet as well.

Interesting, I had heard there was a label with the RPO codes in the glove box (which was my next plan), but this sounds like another option, thanks!

Thanks Mayor111! Not sure I want to drop $100 before buying the car, but if I can't get the info any other way guess it's not that might when considering $50-60k!

I took a quick look at your first link, but didn't see where it mentioned what options came with the vehicle, seemed more like a Carfax type of report, but I was looking at it on my phone. Will have to look closer when I get home.

Also see you are in Easton, PA... I'm in Clinton, NJ, so not too far away! I'm fairly new to the area, any good Corvette clubs or get togethers in the area?

Thanks, Rob

Ravis, just a suggestion. Take the VIN# to your local dealer's service dept., and ask them if they will run the maintenance records for you. That way you can see if the car has had any problems. Also, if possible try to make sure the car hasn't had any aftermarket engine tunes installed as that will void the drive train warranty. Good luck.

BTW, as stated above. If your budget allows, buy new. We only live once.....

Hey Rob,

Im sorry - I should have suggested the SPID label in the glove box... I thought you had already to decide to buy it, and would want the Window Sticker.

Call the dealer and have them send you a clear picture of the SPID label - then download the app CORVETTE DNA on your phone. With that app, you can pull up a Corvette, by year, by model, and then it will show you list of ALL options - then compare to the picture they sent you - you will then know every option AND the car's value based on the options - so you'll also know if you are getting a good deal or not.

Your SPID will look like this - all those letters and numbers are the options - they will be listed just like that in the app:

The label is in the rear of the car, under the carpet, next to the battery compartment.
