Looks like I’ve got the 11th car into the states, #500265

I bought it second hand with 1425 miles on the clock.

Milford proving grounds car.

I’ve got about 23K on her, now.

She’s a beast.

Last 6 - 571728
GGG/Alto Gray/WA744S (SPIL sticker on tire cover says Heron White!)
Twin batteries
Trunk tray
No speed limiter
No remote start (added via WAMS/new BCM/dealer tech programming with Tech2)
No heated mirrors
No spotlights
No Kerr upfit equipment

Warranty started 7/31/2012
Purchased Nov 2012

Atlanta dealer decided to give up trying to sell fleet/police, had several Caprices in inventory in same situation, several owned by others here. "Sold" the inventory to turn them into used cars, returned them to dealer inventory, then listed them on their internet site, available to all customers. Cars never moved from storage lot when the warranty was activated. One way to get around the GM edict on selling fleet/police models - large dealer footprint in Atlanta, likely they weren't going to let GM dictate the rules on how they had to sell these orphan cars.

I'll play.
2015 Silver Ice Metallic. 103,000 miles. Formerly owned by the county of Los Angeles. The three obvious agencies are Sheriff, Probation and Fire. Super nice shape, never had spots, super low hours relative to miles and well cared for. It had front lights at the visors, but I can only tell because there was a film of dust shaped like the front of the lights and a slight crease at the front of the headliner. They did cut up the little cove finishing piece and remove the power outlet mounting from the actual dash. Otherwise, there's no damage from the equipment. Oh, there's a quarter sized rubber plug where the only antenna hole was on the decklid. USB, Bluetooth and backup camera all work with no programming. I'm going to assume the Aux in works too, once I get it wired up.

Vin ends with: 128622 D.O.M. 5/15 8k hours total and 265 idle. I thought I overpaid at 12,500, but since I have looked around a bit, I feel pretty good about it. Oh and it has carpet/matching floormats and factory dark tint.

I just came across this post. Thanks for taking the time and effort to put this together. I always wanted to find out more information on my vehicle. According to my Build Sheet, mine was designated for "CVMS Use". It also has the SPID code OAR (Evaluation Vehicle). I purchased it in October of 2017 at a Chevy Dealer in CT with just under 600 miles on it. Any further info you might have or come across, I would greatly appreciate your letting me know. Here's the info you requested:

2016
200017
Silver Ice Metallic
LFX/3.6L V6
VERY interesting. According to the information I received from the Holden logistics engineer, VIN 200016 was the first 2016 US Caprice, so yours would have been the second 2016 produced (by VIN sequence). That would go along confirming it as an evaluation or “pre-production” vehicle (it would have been built in Aug. compared to Oct. when “standard” production started).

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I sold my Caprice so not on here a whole lot.

Added a decently large update to the production list file. Still searching for VINs (takes FOREVER with the Middle East cars with 2 different VIN configurations and 4 different configurations for the US cars…)

I find this sheet very interesting, I don't know how many PPVs I would have thought where produced but this number is a lot higher than I would have guessed. Which is the better car to find, Patrol or detective? I gather the detective model may have less police attachments and is a bit more civilised? I gather that the detective model was dropped with the cars based on WN Holdens, later series with more modern dashboard. Also of interest what's with retail verses fleet, where these cars available outside the police force or government agencies? Some of the colours align with Holden colours and some of them don't although I suspect one or two may be colours available on the VF commodore range in Australia but not Caprice. Excellent reference. Also did PPVs in the later models not come with the LS3 engine. Our series 2 WN model came with the 6.2 and importantly lacked the cylinder deactivation feature which is why I specifically looked for the later car in the first place even though it was more expensive for a car in similiar condition. However the later the model the easier it is to find one in original condition with lower kms on the dial. Thanks for the info Darren

A LOT of your questions can be answered here:

http://www.newcaprice.com/files.htm

Quick specs are in the 'Hero' documents. All Caprices came with a V6 with VVT, or an optional 6.0L L77 V8 with DOD. Opting for a 9C1 or 9C3 would depend on what you are wanting. Something for young kids/pups that's easier to clean? 9C1 is your weapon of choice. Comfy cruiser with carpet and a full console? 9C3 is the answer.
