Sheeessshhhh......... So sorry for my original post, I hope I didn't upset your personal life too much!

If I would have known that YOU would have had such pitiful surprise, I would have been more clear "just for you"
and put into details, that I was up early and I had not yet put in my contact lenses and was having a hard time seeing my screen. WTF?

It's morning. Still workin' on my first cup of joe. And I do appreciate your confusion...

Once again, Porsche has made things more confusing than is necessary, IMHO anyway. For starters, WHY do they have some of the ranges in ascending numerical order and some in descending order?

Secondly, they have some ranges that are, to varying degrees, duplicates, ie that seem to be overlapping. What's the logic in that?

I sort of wonder if they're just being recalcitrant (ie difficult) in their responses to requests for discovery at trial maybe?? Whatever...

In any case, mine ('01 S) has a VIN that begins with: WPO CB29841

I would seem to be triple-whammied, since I would appear to fall in ALL 3 of these ranges...

o WP0CB29802U660062 - WP0CB29892U664319
o WP0CB29854U660061 - WP0CB29834U661824
o WP0CB29885U730069 - WP0CB29835U731310

The Porsche supplied VIN data is sorted by model year with 01 on the top and 05 on the bottom. The three ranges you questioned are for 02, 04 and 05 models respectively.
