I am buying a 2001 Artic White Z28/SS I need to know if there is anyway to tell if it is a true SS or a car someone has put aftermarket parts on. I am buying it out of LasVegas and I don't want to pay a transport fee if it is not a true SS. The VIN is 2G1FP22G712127123. I also see all of these people say they have SS # ?????? what exactly does that mean? Also can anyone tell me if this car is a good deal it has 33154 miles and is an M6. The one thing that makes me wonder if it is a SS though is that it has cloth interior. Thanks for all of the help. Steve

 

Sorry The Cost of the car is $19,999.00

 

get a car fax on that vin..it will tell you..And leather was an option on the ss not standard

 

Car Fax doesn't show anything I can see that say SS. What should it say.

 

Ask for a picture of the RPO codes. check for RPO code "WU8"

That designates an SS. Ask to see the SLP sticker too. It may or may not have one. If it doesnt, its ok, some SS' do not have them.

 

Call SLP @ 1-248-288-3066 and give them the VIN.

 

OK, If it has WU8 on the build codes then it is an SS for sure right? So what does it mean like AZWingNut has 2002 Camaro SS #384. Do all SS's have the same options or is there a way to find out what options this one has. I can't see the car because it is across the country from me. Also is 19,999.00 an ok price if it is a true SS.

Thanks

Steve

 

Since you have the vin# you should be able to take it to a local gm dealer to find out. GM dealers are tied into website called GM
Dealerworld. Under dealerworld there are various links for sales,service, body shop, and etc. Under the service section there is a link called "gmvis" where they can pull up a build sheet for the car. They can also give you a warranty service history on the car. It has other useful information also. The site is designed for internal use but I think a reputable dealer wouldn't mind getting this info for you. Good luck.

 

My car was #384 of 11,191 SS's produced by SLP in 2002. If the drivers door has WU8 it is an SS. Try and see if there is an SLP sticker on the Passengers side, this will list SLP options such as the 345HP Package. No sticker on the pass. door means a base SS, like mine.

 

Thanks, Wingnut how did you determine your car was #384??

 

you get ahold of slp and they will tell you

 

I dont know about the WU8 stuff,
my SS is real, bought it new, and i cant seem to find a WU8 code anywhere? And i have a build # from slp.

 

Look inside the door jam on the drivers door. Some where on that list of RPOs it should say WU8. Lots of the fake SSs don't even add all the visual stuff. My friend saw one a couple weeks of ago at a dealership that didn't have the spoiler, instant give away. Scary thing is he saw that at the dealership I baught my car from. But I know for sure mine is real.

 

The black book value on that car with those miles is anywhere from $19,475 to $23,750 depending on condition and features. Hope that helps.

 

Thanks, that does help. One more question did all of these cars have TTop roof panels. I haven't talked to this guy in a day or 2 but the picture looks like a TTop but it doesn't list in on the options. I can't tell if it may just be painted black.
