GXP BUILD DATES

GXP BUILD DATES
Hi,
My '05 GXP has a build date of 6/04, as listed on the sticker found on the driver'* side door. This seems like a very early date for an '05. Also, some components under the hood have August "04 chalk-written dates. Can not understand how the install dates of these items can be later than the car'* build date.
Anybody out there have a guess, of have early build dates also?
Thanks.

Did you buy the car new? This seems odd to me as well. If the car was in a collision and they took the door off another GXP, you may have one from an '04. Did you compare VIN numbers from the sticker to the windshield plate?

Hi,
I bought it as a new car in Sept. 06, with 98 miles on it. The dealership changed ownership a couple of times and it was fogotten in the back of the lot, at least that is what I was told.
You made a good point with the door, so I just went out to compare the number under the windshield to that on the door, and they match.
The VIN is 1G2HZ54Y54Y45U104744.
Thanks.

Since these were slow selling cars, I would think that maybe Pontiac built a lot of 2004'* and since they were sitting at the factory to be distributed to the dealers (that already had excess inventory) they just changed the year to 2005. Just a thought.

I'm not saying that GM made changes to built cars, but maybe released the 05 models earlier in hopes to have them off the lots quicker.
