Can we get a factory build sheet?

[jmaboxter3]

[/FONT]I bought my '03 S... experienced (9600 miles) earlier this month. I don't have the original documentation. I had heard there was a way to request a "build sheet" or what used to be called a cardex from Porsche using the VIN number and a fee. I'd like to know what's in my Box, so I was wondering if anyone had stumbled across a way to request the original option or code list on a car.

Yes, you can order an official Porsche Tequipment Certificate of Authenticity from here:

They are $95. If you're a PCA member, you can save $10 off that.

"Certificate of Authenticity

You can also get the options originally on your car from under the front hood on the build sticker. Your local dealer or websites will help you decode what was originally on the car.
