VIN Question

[Miagi]

Just wondering if anyone can tell me the significance of the last four digits of the VIN? My dealership has forwarded the VIN to me and the last four digits are 0099. Does this mean it is the 99th Z51 C7 built in Canada this year, or something entirely different?
Still waiting on delivery, expect to have it within the next week. Build date was April 9th (event code 3800) and apparently shown as shipped on April 10 (event code 4200).

They build them all in Bowling Green so it won't be anything to do with it being built in Canada. Here an explanation of the 2014 VIN, I would expect yours to be interpreted similarly. You need the the digits between 12 and 17th to know what number yours was in the production sequence (what number your car was of the total built to date) you are short a couple of digits.


C7 VINs include a code that indicates trim level, transmission and Z51/non-Z51:

The last 5 digits give you the build number e.g.: 20099 would be the 20 thousandth 099 ninety ninth car built.

Miagi what are the last 5 digits?????

Its taking a long time to arrive if it was shipped on April 10th! If it was coming to Ontario I would be calling GM and the dealership frantically. Maybe Calgary deliveries take longer.

My car took almost a month to be shipped to Calgary. Arrived in Alyth yards on rail.

When did your car originally ship? I'm hoping with more being built for Canada ship times decrease dramatically........
