Is the PCNA VIN build sheet decoder dead for us?

I have never been able to get this to work with my VIN, I get a note saying, "This vehicle is not available." Anyone else get this error?

In my own experience, there are some cars that it just doesn't work for. It works for my own 2003 Boxster S. I get that same "This vehicle is not available" message when I use the VIN from my friend's 1999 base Boxster. I have also gotten that message for newer year Porsches using the VINs that were shown in various eBay and Craigslist ads. It's possible that those VINs were incorrect somehow, but they looked like good 17 digit VINs. I think there are just some cars that for whatever reason, are not included in this database.
