I am not to computer literate so I could really use some help in tracking my order. I think I am getting the run around by the dealer that I have placed an order with after the original dealer that I ordered from back in October told me that they will not be getting their allocation because of money problems.
If some one could help I would appreciate it VIN is 2G1FT1EW7A9101055.
Thanks for any assistance.

You don't have a window sticker yet. It has not been invoiced.

Mine just showed up on the tracker tonight.

If you have a car in transit, meaning it's on a train headed to your dealership, your next step is to get your sales guy/dealer to tell you who the trucking company is... then, either on your own using you own suaveness or with your sales guy, call the trucking company and find out (a) how long they are taking to get cars from the yard to the lot, and (b) if they are showing any information for Vin #xxxxxx.

As it relates to item (b), the trucking company may tell you to go pound sand... mine did the first time I tried (on Tuesday) but today I took a different approach - I asked if they could help out because the DBC was providing "us" any good information. "And who are you?" they asked... "I'm [name] and I am working with [sales rep name] at [dealership name] to try and figure out what's up with Vin #xxxxxx... that darn DBC isn't giving "us" the same information twice and it occurred to "us" that if anyone would know the truth it'd be you guys...." (stroke, stroke, stroke....)

Note that I never lied to them... I never told them I was a consumer dying for information about my future car either. Had they asked me who I worked for, I'd of told them truth and the gig would have been up... but, they didn't ask because wording is everything.... hence the "us" and the "we" in the example above.

From this you are going to get a really good idea of where your car is and when the dealer might expect it... heck, you might even get some serious precision so you can conveniently be outside the rail yard fence with your camera and popcorn ready. Good luck with it and remember, honey and sugar are sweeter than piss and vinegar.

I'm running a full search now and it's finding stuff all over the place. For example, 1888 just popped up for the first time. I probably should've had a value for when the VIN was found in the database but I don't.

paulv7260 · 05-29-2009, 06:22 AM

Damn, the database skipped right past my VIN but it is now showing up on the window sticker link. This is a good thing?

Same thing here. Probably a step in the right direction.

Great!

There are over 120 pages. Is there an easy way to jump to a page number instead of going 10 pages at a time?

Yes, that's a good thing. My window sticker showed up two to three days before it showed up on the tracker.

Not really. I could maybe add that to the interface but it wasn't really designed to have this many VINs lol.

The tracker just scans the GM website for all possible VINs. There's no black magic here. It will be on the GM site before my scanner finds it. I haven't found a good way to make it run automagically each day yet and reliably pick up all the VINs so I'm just running a full scan manually every few days.

All it means if your sticker isn't showing up at all is that your car hasn't been invoiced yet. There's lots of reasons why this could be. None of which you or your dealer will be able to find out without an act of congress.

I think it works fine just the way it is. Great job.

I think the problem people were having is that they saw numbers bouncing all over the place. Now that we know it's because it only shows up when the car is invoiced...not when it is given a VIN, it makes a lot more sense.

Still struggling with the fact that my dealer received my invoice on May 8, car was scheduled to arrive May 12... and it vanished. Not here and no news. CS has been useless in half a dozen attempts.
