Here are some more information for Olds Pontiac Cadillac:

An Auto VIN Decoder breaks down the unique alphanumeric sequence known as a Vehicle Identification Number, which is a car's fingerprint. Each and every automobile on the road has its own 17-character VIN, and it is this identification number that is used to generate a Vehicle History Report, also known as a VIN check.

The VIN check taps into millions of DMV records and reveals all of the available history for a particular vehicle, including any hidden problems, odometer readings, ownership transfers and more. It is an absolute must for used car buyers, as it tells you everything you need to know about the vehicle.

The Auto VIN Decoder can help you understand what these letters and numbers mean, which is the first step towards ensuring that a vehicle you are considering is right for you.

Let's break down the Vehicle Identification Number, starting with the first character. (Please note the letter "I" as in indigo, the letter "O" as in orange, and the letter "Q" as in queen are NOT found in any VIN Numbers.)

(We will use the following VIN as an example: 2FTRX18W1XCA01212)

The first character represents the country of manufacture, and can be a letter or a number, each signifying a different country. The most common ones are as follows:

(1 = USA, 2 = Canada, 3 = Mexico, J = Japan, K = Korea, W = Germany, Y = Finland, Sweden)

So using the Auto VIN Decoder in the above example, this particular car was made in Canada.

The second/third characters represent the manufacturer, also known as the make. The most common are:

(A = Alfa Romeo, B = Dodge, C = Chrysler, D = Daihatsu, E = Eagle, F= Ford/Eagle, G = All General Motors vehicles (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saturn)

H = Honda/Acura, J= Jeep, L = Lincoln, M = Mitsubishi, N = Nissan/Infiniti, P = Plymouth, S = Subaru, T = Toyota/Lexus, V = Volkswagen)

So using the Auto VIN Decoder in the above example, this car is a Ford or an Eagle..since Eagle is no longer made, it is most likely a Ford.

Other popular makes use a 3-character initial sequence:

(TRU/WAU = Audi, 4US/WBA/WBS = BMW, 2HM/KMH = Hyundai, SAJ = Jaguar, SAL = Land Rover, 1YV/JM1 = Mazda, WDB = Mercedes-Benz, VF3 = Peugeot, WP0 = Porsche, YK1/YS3 = Saab, YV1=Volvo)

The fourth character is the type of restraint system.

In the above example, "R" represents hydraulic breaks using the VIN Decoder.

The fifth, sixth & seventh characters are the vehicle line, series and body style. This will obviously be different across makes and models.

In the above example, characters 5, 6 & 7 are X18: X18 is a Ford F150 Pickup 4WD Super Cab

The eighth character is the engine type.

With the Auto VIN Decoder, W represents a 4.6 liter V-8 engine.

The tenth character represents the year of the car. Pay close attention to this one:

B = 1981 F = 1985 K = 1989 P = 1993 V = 1997 1 = 2001

C = 1982 G = 1986 L = 1990 R = 1994 W = 1998 2 = 2002

D = 1983 H = 1987 M = 1991 S = 1995 X = 1999 3 = 2003

E = 1984 J = 1988 N = 1992 T = 1996 Y = 2000 4 = 2004

For the most recent used model year, 5 = 2005

In the above example, the "X" indicates that this car was made in 1999.

The eleventh character indicates the assembly plant.

In the above example, the C indicates Ontario, Canada

Characters 12-17 represent the vehicle's unique fingerprint. It is these six digits which make every single vehicle in the world different.

So using the Auto VIN Decoder one last time, the Vehicle Identification Number: 2FTRX18W1XCA01212 represents a 1999 Ford F150 Pickup 4WD Super Cab manufactured in Ontario, Canada with hydraulic brakes and a 4.6-liter V-8 engine.

So there you have it, the Auto VIN Decoder. If you are in the market for a used vehicle, use this decoder to make sure that it is indeed the exact model that the seller is claiming it is. Once you have verified the Vehicle Identification Number is accurate, you can proceed with your VIN check and learn everything you need to know about that particular car.

Gm to Sell More Xm-equipped Certified Pre-owned Vehicles in 2008

General Motors together with the nation’s leading satellite radio service has recently launched a satellite radio trial program for GM Certified Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, and HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles. The XM trail program is available to buyers of both new and certified used vehicles. The XM will also be made available in more than 115,000 of these certified GM vehicles in 2007 which is expected to increase to more than 168,000 vehicles in 2008.

Under this program, all GM Certified Used Vehicles that include Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, GMC, Oldsmobile models, Cadillac, and Hummer Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles equipped with XM Radio will also be available with three trial months of XM service and a waived of activation fee. A list of previous model year Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, GMC, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, and Hummer vehicles factory equipped with XM are available online.

GM is the producer of high quality GMC throttle body spacer and one of the largest automakers in the nation. It is also the industry leader in manufacturer-certified used vehicle sales, which represents almost one-third of the total volume of all certified used vehicles sold in the US. General Motors Certified Used Vehicles has been the top selling certified used vehicle brand for the last five years according to Autodata Corp.

GM Certified Used Vehicles, the nation’s number one selling manufacturer-certified brand, reconditioned vehicles of very high quality and are offered at participating Buick, Chevrolet, Pontiac, and GMC dealers. Most of the models are six years older or much newer and have run only 60,000 miles or less. These vehicles have undergone strict GM Certified Used Vehicles standards and have undergone a rigorous 117-point inspection and reconditioning process.

All GM Certified Used Vehicles are supported by a fully transferable 5-year, 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty with no deductible, three-month/3,000 mile comprehensive bumper-to-bumper warranty, a three-day/150 mile customer satisfaction guarantee, and 24 hour roadside assistance during the term of the warranty. For more details on GM’s Certified Used Vehicles simply log on to www.gmcertified.com.

The Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles come with a 6-years/100,000 mile powertrain limited warranty while the Hummer Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles come with a bumper-to-bumper 6-year/100,000 mile warranty. And for previously owned Hummer to become a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle a test is required. Previously owned vehicles have to meet the strict standards set by Hummer and should undergo the rigorous 100+ point inspection plus it is also very important that the vehicle is less than 48 months old and driven fewer than 50,000 miles without any serious accidents or body repairs.

Why do GM (General Motors) make poorly made cars in the past? Like from the 90's to the early 2000's?

I will first say that SOME of the newer GM cars have improved lately, but lets talk about the past for the moment. What I have noticed first a about GM Vehicles are their Interiors. I have sat inside a 2001 Chevrolet Impala Ls and that interior looks horrible and like plastic. it seems like their cars/Trucks/SUV s have real cheap interiors. Cadillac, known for their luxurious appearance has some real cheap interiors as well and it is suppose to be a luxury car. Why is that? And I can look at a older Chevrolet Corvette such as, the 1993 model and can tell that it is poorly put together without even driving it. Pontiac's, do I really need to explain how they make their cars? My friend had a 1996 Gran Am and it broke down at 150k miles. Can someone break down why they have all of these issues that I have just discussed?

The data suggest that General Motors vehicles have not improved or have improved very little.

1. GM set a recent record number of entries on Consumer Reports' 2008 list of the Worst of the Worst, accounting for 58% of the entries.

2. GM dominates CR's 2008 Used-Cars-to-Avoid list, accounting for 41% of the entries.

3. GM dominates AutoOnInfo.net's list of the Worst Automobiles of 2008, accounting for 30% of the entries.

4. GM dominates CR's 2009 Least-Reliable list, accounting for 33% of the entries (versus 30% of the entries on the 2008 Least-Reliable list).
