Yes there is a way write to Porsche Cars in Alanta, or just call Porsche Design and for ten dollars they will research it for you and send you a nice frameable document you can frame you must have the Vin number (most of us know them by heart). Good Luck Thanks for asking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

The best way to get vehicle history used to be through the state DMV. Now with all the so called security BS you probably can't do a vehicle title history.
The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity is very expensive now at $100 IIRC. Hi Barbara! (PK) |

PCNA does not provide the "Where Sold" data, even tho they apparently have access to it...
Nor do they have any idea of how many previous "Abusers" in a car's history... They will (sometimes, if they feel like it and the wind is blowing from the east!) provide a Certificate Of Authenticity, which will probably prove to be less than "Authentic' and printed on rather cheap stock, for about $100.00. You can count on getting a VIN number, which is already under your windshield, and maybe some other, often inaccurate, info... after you wait about two months... |

For 914-6 only, there is a guy who has been compiling seller data for decades from at least the Panorama and easy sources. I forget his name at the moment.
