				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.

			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.

			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

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

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.

			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!

			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.

			Worked just fine on 03 S.  The sticker on the underside of my front boot was so faded, I couldn't make out all the codes.  Awesome and thank you OP!
