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.

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.
