The window sticker page only works from approximately the time it ships to the time the customer takes delivery. If the window sticker page is blank it either means the vin you supplied is not a valid VIN or it hasn't shipped/invoiced yet or it's already been delivered to the customer.
The script that captures the info for my site is not perfect. It just loads the window sticker page for each potentially valid VIN and if it works, it inserts it into the database. Sometimes the page will timeout when trying to load so the VIN may be up but my script will fail to get it. The big problem is that I can't scan every possible VIN every day, it would just be far, far too many and would take too long and be too much load on both my system and GM's. So I scan the last few hundred possible and the next 500 possible. This would work pretty well if GM put the window sticker pages in order. But they don't. It might take one day for it to show up or it might take two weeks. I simply can't scan that large of a range To help remedy this, I run a scan once a week that does a much wider range to hopefully pick up those stragglers that got missed the first time around. We also don't have the ability to pull info on Canadian cars as they use a different website and last I checked, they aren't making their Camaro info available. So yes, some get missed. But there really isn't much we can do about it.
