I've been looking for that information online but couldn't get exactly what I wanted. I did see a few snapshot of stickers showing where to find production date/invoice date/state of destination/transport type etc...
But I'm looking to see if it is possible to know which dealership a car was allocated to and when was the car delivered?
Maybe mission impossible but one has to try.
So any additional information on window stickers are welcomed :thumbsup:

So far this is what we have :

85818d1301970798-window-sticker-vin-info-ws_1zvb6a5140754_jpeg_w_codes_small.jpg


Batch ID - is also, or is actually the invoice date. 9G28 decodes to:
'9' -> last digit of the year -> 2009 : note 'A' -> 2010, 'B' -> 2011, etc.
'G' -> 7th letter of the alphabet -> 7th month -> July
'28' -> day of the month
thus July 28, 2009
The Batch ID down below is similar, but with a '1' affixed on the end.

'Shipping Car No.' is actually the invoice sequence number from that batch of invoices made that day. It appears in three places: after "FLR" (which means Flat Rock), the '100353' in small print at the to, and '000353' before the invoice date down below.

"VA" after "FLR-000353" is Virginia.

Down below, the Order number '1003' is correct, and is preceded by '27', which is the zone district number.

'O/T' means "Order type" - '1' = retail, '2' = stock. There are also a bunch of letter codes for internally invoiced cars. I don't know the meaning of those ones, yet.

'N' after '9G281' is 'Normal', and 'R' would be 'Rebill', the data transaction type

So I have a question that mostly fits under the umbrella of this thread.
This, from my window sticker:
FULL VEH COV *DLR-INSTLD-ACCY 375.00
means what?
That my car was supposed to come with a car cover? Because I sure didn't get one!

Thanks for any help!
Matt

Yep should have come with a car cover.
$375 the price for the option. So ask for it or get a refund :)

I believe that these were shipped to the dealers separate from the car.

That's why the covers are listed as Dealer Assy. The covers are delivered to the parts department ahead of the car arriving. If you call the dealer, I'm sure they will tell you there is a box waiting for you.
