just bored anyone know what production # your car is?

 

I don't know how to find that out. If anyone knows, please post it up.

 

my cobalt is number 1!!! lol

 

i was told its the last 3 numbers of the vin #

 

no no ... my cobalt is #1 urs is #2 HAHA j\ks

 

ok, let me get my eyepatch and ill be number 2

 

mine was #1 in west palm beach FL.

 

It's the last 6 digits of your VIN.

 

3,172......I'm guessing the production number includes all Cobalts. That seems rather high for a rather early production SS/SC...

 

if its the last 6 I dont believe it because mine would be over the 600,000 cobalt produced and my car was assembeled 03/05

 

thats weird:S

 

yea it can tbe right my 5 numbers are 640281

 

if it's last 6, mine's the 653,172nd Cobalt. I was looking at the last 4, it's supposed to be last 5 i believe, so I'm dyslexic.

 

see i heard the last 3 im goign to google it if sumone else find it post it

How to read a VIN

1st character- Identifies the country in which the vehicle was manufactured.
For example: U.S.A.(1or 4), Canada(2), Mexico(3), Japan(J), Korea(K), England(S), Germany(W), Italy(Z)

2nd character- Identifies the manufacturer. For example; Audi(A),
BMW(B), Buick(4), Cadillac(6), Chevrolet(1), Chrysler(C), Dodge(B),
Ford(F), GM Canada(7), General Motors(G), Honda(H), Jaquar(A), Lincoln(L), Mercedes Benz(D), Mercury(M), Nissan(N), Oldsmobile(3), Pontiac(2or5), Plymouth(P), Saturn(8), Toyota(T), VW(V), Volvo(V).

3rd character- Identifies vehicle type or manufacturing division.

4th to 8th characters- VDS - Vehicle Descriptor Section. These 5 characters occupy positions 4 through 8 of the VIN and may be used by the manufacturer to identify attributes of the vehicle. Identifies vehicle features such as body style, engine type, model, series, etc.

9th Character - The check digit "character or digit 9" in the sequence of a vehicle identification number (VIN) built beginning with model year 1981 (when the 17 character digit format was established) can best be described as identifying the VIN accuracy.

A check digit shall be part of each vin (since 1981) and shall appear in position
nine (9) of the VIN on the vehicle and on any transfer documents containing
the vin prepared by the manufacturer to be given to the first owner for purposes
other than resale. Thus, the vins of any two vehicles manufactured within a 30
year period shall not be identical. The check digit means a single number or letter
"x" used to verify the accuracy of the transcription of the vehicle identification
number.

After all other characters in the VIN have been determined by the manufacturer
the check digit is calculated by carrying out a mathematical computation
specified. This is based on vin position, sample vin, assigned value code,
weight factor and multiply assigned value times weight factors. The values are added and the total is divided by 11. The remainder is the check digit number.
The correct numeric remainder - zero through nine (0-9) will appear.
However, if the remainder is 10 the letter "X" is used to designate the check
digit value/number.

10th character- Identifies the model year. For example: 1988(J), 1989(K), 1990(L), 1991(M), 1992(N), 1993(P), 1994(R), 1995(S), 1996(T),
1997(V), 1998(W), 1999(X), 2000(Y)------2001(1), 2002(2), 2003(3)

11th character- Identifies the assembly plant for the vehicle.

12th to 17th characters- VIS - Vehicle Identifier Section. The last 8 characters of the VIN are used for the identification a of specific vehicle. The last four characters shall always be numeric. Identifies the sequence of the vehicle for production as it rolled off the manufacturers assembly line.

 

mine was #4 in Michigan!

 

It can apparantly be the last 3 as well.

Position Section Information
1-2 WMI country code
2-3 manufacturer
4-8 VDS equipment codes
9 check digit
10 VIS model year
11 manufacturing plant
12-17 serial number
or
10 VIS model year
11 manufacturing plant
12-14 WMI suffix
15-17 serial number

 

I still have a hard time believing that 3,172 SS/SCs rolled off the line before mine...

 

if its just the last 4 than mine was the 6,032 cobalt produced.......is that TOTAL cobalts, including 2.2? Or is that just for the SS/SC because I dont think over 6000 were made for 2005 were there?

 

also my car has the G85 on a 2005, so I dont think it would have been produced early in the producton run either.....

 

Wether or not that is correct, my VIN is:

1G1AL52F957534390

 

If you look inside the door, you can tell when it was produced, it should give you month and year.

 

Which door and where on it?

 

Should be a sticker inside the driver's side door.
