1-2 of the vin is the country of origin and #2 is the manufacturer
#3 is the division #4-5 carline/series #6 is the body style #7 restraint #8 is the engine #9 is check digit ( no clue what that is)#10 is the year model #11 plant #12-17 is the sequential production numbers.

So basicly the last six of the vin tells you the what # yours was at the assembly line

I always thought it was the last 4 numbers.

 

i would like to know who has 000001 ans the last of there vin?
when the ssr's first came out I heard that the higher Gm guys had the 1st ones that came out .

 

I'm really curious about mine now....i'm gonna check when i leave work...we should start a thread about who has what # cobalt

 

Good idea il post when i get home.

 

Mine is 647176

 

The last six? Because, mine is 609875 and there is no way that many cobalts whould have been made by April 05'...

 

mine was made in may of 05, and the last 6 of vin is 646677. thats a hell of a lot of cobalts! dont think that is right.

 

i just did some internet digging and found a site that said the sequential numbers start at 100001, but i think thats still a hell of a lot of cobalts for april and may.

 

my last 6 digits are 651580, can't be right, i think first 4 months i had my SS/SC i saw like half a dozen tops

 

I was told by a sales manager at a Chevy dealership that 5,000 2005 ss/sc models were produced. I don't know where he got that # & I also don't beleive a word those guys say.
Production was definately limited, we can all agree on that.

 

I emailed them and asked them how i access build numbers, and other stats like that.. heres what i got back...

my last 6 are 642569

 

FL@SH = Sales Manager at a Chevy Dealership.
I don't know how many was made. Thats why I posted that I thought that it was the last 4.
Last time I checked was when I bought a 79 Camaro. Not in 79 like in 98

I will talk to my gm rep tho and see what he can dig up.

 

Mine was built 03/05 last six digits are 581837

 

I was told by my dealer that only 5% of the o5 production run was going to be ss/sc's

 

You know i got to thinking these numbers might be all Cobalts be cause the is part of the vin that has the model that it is. That would make a lot of sense to the big #'s

 

i wonder what 06 SS/SC last six are??? anybody?

 

My 2006 Arrival Blue W/G-85 . The last Six are 652112 .


Oh and if any one wants a Rare 06 Arrival Blue W/ G-85 ( Limited slip / Recaro Seats) , sunroof , side air bags, XM . Please let me know


I will Auction it off

 

I'll give you 15k for it.

 

I see what you are saying, but there is no way there has been 600,000+ cobalts made...

 

The first one I test drove was that color I did not want to buy it though cause it was the only one in the city and everyone and there brother beat on it within a 2 week period it was at the dealership.

 

The last SIX numbers in the vin are the sequential production number. That would be for all trim levels, base to SS/SC. That does not mean that the made 5 or 600,000 Cobalts though as they did not necessarily start at 000001. I remeber reading something somewhere that the total for all Cobalts in '05 was around 70,000. The last six does not have to be all numbers either as alot of Fords the last six start with an A. Take all this to mean what you want, but they sure as hell did not build 600,000 Cobalts in '05 and I doubt they will in any other year, that would make it the top selling car as the number one seller now is only around 400,000.

 

i got a reply from gm on my build numbers question. they are looking into the info for me and assure me they will have an answer in the next couple of days, and they will try to have all the info i asked for, models and color breakdown. if i get all this info, i will be shocked as hell .... just thought id update this thread....

 

I ordered mine through the Overseas Miltary sales and got the G85 package. Where are you stationed?? I got the 3,000 incentive thrue them and the g85 package with sunroof and it came to 19G. I'm over here in Okinawa Japan. With Delivering in July in my hometown it was only 19,000

 

That is not true they can order the G85 package, I was going to order mine but it was already in the system when I went to go order it
