Default Question about the Parts Identification tag in glove box.

I'm looking at an '07 but the dealer is a KIA place that took it in on trade. They seem to know nothing about the car, which is working in my favor. I already know from the pictures that it's 3LT but I don't know if it has the Z51 option.

My question is, am I'm correct in saying the "Service Parts Identification" sticker is in the glove box and I'm assuming it's on the outside of the glove box on either side?

The RPO code listing should be on the inside of the glove box lid on the left side.

You may want to bring a pen-light or small flashlight with you; due to the position of the sticker and depending on the lighting, you may need it to see/read all the codes.

Tale a picture of the sticker with your phone - will be much easier to read. Also, I believe the VIN is on the sticker - if so, verify that the VIN on the sticker matches the car's VIN. Someone could have innocently replaced the original door with a used replacement.

This is the glove box RPO sticker in my 2013 GS. This one has GM water marks and holograms in the background. I think earlier years were just plain white background.

I'm 2 hours away from the dealer and I want them to send me a picture of the tag before I drive up there and find it's not a Z51.

You could take the VIN to your local GM dealer and find out too, if the KIA dealer isn't helpful.

Of course this isn't a guarantee, but the non-drilled rotors say it's not a Z51-optioned car to me. Yes, I suppose you can buy aftermarket rotors that way, but with the other Tennessee go-fasters he installed, it's highly doubtful he would have put them on.

Yeah I noticed that too, that's why I questioned if it was a Z51 but I wanted to verify. I decided to pass this one up and go back on the hunt.
