I have not seen more than one dealer listed on an SDR. The SDR will show the dealer to which the car was shipped or the delivery dealer The tank sticker should show the delivery dealer. If that delivery dealer traded or sold the car to another dealer, then the second dealer would show as the selling dealer. That dealer, I assume, will show up on the warranty paperwork and the window sticker.

Thanks Bob. The sdr lists only 1. But a dealer search lists 5 with the same numbers. Odd thing is the pop lists a completely different zone dealer. (2nd owner pop)

GM did change dealer numbers over the years. Some changes occurred when dealerships closed or were sold. Some dealer numbers changed when dealerships changed locations even within the same town or city. I can't speak to the second owner POP.

Dennis, let me know the dealer number and also the year of your car, If you used the dealer database on the NCRS site it is only as good as the information that has been put into it.
