Default Deception !!!

I just found out my Build #...Its 5370, now my car is supposed to be 35th LE...only 3000 were built, My Blood pressure is building, my hands are shaking and Im ******* Pissed. Someone please tell my car is just included in the total SS builds of 2002.

OHHHH and the dealer who sold me the car has Moved, or gone out of buisness. I was considering driving through the Front of the store telling him I WANT A ******* TRADE IN !!!!....

If its a fake its getting sanded and repainted, **** it.

carfax is not accurate... it can only report what the repair shops report

I dont know much about the Build #s, but shouldnt my Vin indicate whether or not its an LE, I asked what my Build # was, but do I have to request whether or not its and LE or not. Man this is crazy.....

I thought the 35th LE SS's had hand written signatures on the inside fenderwell of the builders....signed and dated....I have only seen 3 35th SS's and they all 3 had them in the bay..agian, I'm not to familiar with the Limited Edition cars that much

Sounds like the build number of your car is really an SS and was built in '02. Could it be that they didn't line up every LE in a row for numbering? I know that the pewter SS aren't all numbered sequentially so why would the anniversary editions?

LE cars have 2 build numbers. One is the standard SS build # and the other is the LE build #. You just haven't found out what your LE build # is

Dude that's good to know. I was starting to get pissed off with you. I've read stories about fake SS's and people who have paid thousands more than it's really worth and almost nothing makes me more mad than a scammer. I'm glad you don't have a fake. I would be petrified if I found out my car wasn't what I thought it was (Z28, Y3F, Flame red interior)....

they made 11,191 SS's in 02... the LE's have 2 build number as you have found out. The LE's weren't all built in a row, they have random SS build numbers (not consecutive)
