Paul - Sorry, this goes into a US dealer source, so I'm pretty sure you can't see non-US cars in this.

Doesn't work for my '03 S that was bought at a Houston dealership.

Okay, now it works.

[BIGJake111]

My 2000 is not available.

[dsallean]

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

Thank you, worked on my 2002 S.

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.

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.

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.

Tried it with mipstein's link, no go for me

Worked for my 2003 S in Canada.

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

What seemed useful to me was the order sheet that begins about at the point in this web page that begins "Model Designations" on the second page. It is the order sheet you and the dealer would have filled in to allow the dealer to place the order from the factory.

I personalized one to show my car using the sticker on the front hood of the car. This list of option codes is actually greater than the real one as I discovered option codes over the years. I added some of the option codes that didn't exist on the real order and price guide from 2001 but you can see what items the buyer was choosing from none the less. It amazes me how many were available even back in the relatively early days of the Boxster (this is from 2001).

Where I got this is lost in the mists of time.

[mikesz]

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]

Worked on my 2001

[CoBeerToad]

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

[Boxy_02]

Worked for my 2002.

[BoxsterLS376]

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

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]

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.
