All I get is the vehicle is not available. 01 S

Thank you, worked on my 2002 S.

Keep trying
 
Took me about half a dozen tries before it finally went through. I got the "car not available" several times. Don't forget to change the letter "O" to the number "0" or vice versa. If it's the third character in your vin, then it's the number "0". Good luck, but I was disappointed that my '03 was not that well equipped - just a few options with a price of $50,055. One thing I did find interesting is my car had option XAB - Speedster Rear Color of Car. I always thought the PO replaced the "Boxster" logo with "Speedster" but it now looks like it came from the factory that way. See my photo to the left. Odd.

Edit: Further research shows that XAB is the factory humps. So the PO probably did change the lettering from Boxster to Speedster.

For everyone the link is not working for, there are multiple Porsche VIN decoders around online, and many are fairly accurate (RennTech, Suncoast, etc). I just remembered that back in 2010 I emailed Sunset Imports my VIN and they provided me with all of the same information as these Build Sheets, minus the list price and official looking Porsche logo.

I am not sure if they still offer that as a free service, but if the link isn't working for you, and you would like to find your full list of build options, it could be another avenue worth trying. That's not to say an official build sheet isn't nice, but if it is not working, there are other options.

Okay, now it works.

The "VIN Decoders" are very different that getting a build sheet. A normal VIN decoder will just give you basic vehicle info and not have the options listed.

IIRC Rennlist and/or Suncoast have a paid service that will give you the options

Yo can also probably go to a Porsche dealer and they should be able to print you out a build sheet that includes the options costs as well

I contacted the guy at the parts counter at Inskip here in Warwick Ri and he got back to me within a week with the info.

Thumper 03-02-2016 10:14 AM

Worked on my 2001

CoBeerToad 03-02-2016 11:00 AM

'97 - Not available for me. I think it is probably too rare.

Boxy_02 03-02-2016 01:20 PM

Worked for my 2002.

Not vice versa.

You will never have the letter O or the letter I in any VIN, anywhere.

Those are ALWAYS ZERO and ONE.

It can be confusing if it's in all caps as it usually is.

BoxsterLS376 03-02-2016 03:01 PM

can anyone get this to work? or do you see a problem as to why it is not working for me? I can get to some of the others, but mine keeps giving unavailable :(

Here it is without a vin #. just add yours at the end

Code:

https://admin.porschedealer.com/reports/build_sheets/print.php?vin=

Manually type the URL in with your VIN #. Do not click any links. It worked for my 04S.

PaulE 03-02-2016 04:03 PM

It works for my 03 S on the first try. It lists the original MSRP Window Sticker price. When I read the original post to this thread and saw price paid I was hoping it would say what the dealer paid for the car, ha ha! Thanks for posting this link!

rexcramer 03-02-2016 04:51 PM

No Bueno, I typed it in and my vehicle is not available. It appears to be a build year issue? (97) Maybe Porsche wants to sell more of those COA sheets at +/-$100.00 a pop. But they are suitable for framing.

Definitely doesn't work on my 01

M1NDCRlME 03-02-2016 06:53 PM

Doesn't work for my 00 S imported from Canada

joespaman 03-03-2016 07:29 AM

Worked just fine on 03 S. The sticker on the underside of my front boot was so faded, I couldn't make out all the codes. Awesome and thank you OP!
