Just call Wayne Carrini at F40 Motorsports. Hell, not only does he have records of all the cars he has been a part of, but he will even bring you on tv, and tell the world how much you spent, what the VIN is and how you wrecked it...

Interesting how "great" Porsche is, how this is a culture, or as magnus walker puts it "its own language" but god forbid you try and figure out from a dealer when the last oil change was...how dare you. Glad Porsche is looking out for all its peeps.

Yes, I am aware as a few people wrote - its the law in most places. But seriously, they can tell you what has been done to the car.

When I bought my car used from a Porsche dealer I got all the original copies of everything that was done to my car including the original window sticker. They all came in a folder. I suspect that the original owner included the the information when he traded the car in. My car was also bought and traded into the dealer that I bought it from and apparently he was a frequent buyer. (must be nice) Anyway I've kept up with every paper record including when I do something myself putting the receipt for the parts in the folder along with a explanation of what was done and the date.

Thats exactly how I am. I have a folder and I put everything about the car in it. Just a shame I can't get that info now :/.. Oh well i guess i'll start out fresh with reciepts.

Oh wanna a hear another thing. The Porsche dealer wouldn't help me with the options list of the car either. I mean how is that confidential? Nice eh? I'm a really nice guy I swear I just think i got the biggest Jerk salesman.

I understand JFP's points but this certainly won't win you as a future customer. I'm surprised in CA it would be a legal issue to at least tell you what service was done. I know my dealer will do anything, he wants me back in two years to upgrade.

Since i can't get any help from the dealer. On a 2010 boxster does anyone know where or how you can the option list of the car? Older porsches generally have a option code on a sticker , but I can't seem to find one on my car.
