Hey gang, just ordered a COA for Das Frog. Seen in some other posts that these can be rather inaccurate and incomplete. Just got a phone message from the women whom is working on it, saying they are checking into a "490" option code. Electric antenna? Car was purchased with no radio. Would the dealership take that out if the client didn't want a radio and install a standard antenna? What else should I ask for on the COA when I call her back? Trans #, Engine #, ? And, is there a way to distinguish which alloy wheels came with the car; fuchs or mahle? John (orginal owner), had them swapped out for steelies.
Thanks, Tod |

Ah ok T.C., that's good to know. She mentioned there was no letter prefix on the 490 option, so we'll see what they come up with. The Ziebart crap was a mess. If I recall right, I think John said that he had them put that on. So I guess the car originally came with Fuchs. He couldn't remember which set was on the car when he purchased it. This COA is worth it to me in that regard. Clairifies the missing pieces to the puzzle. The Main Reason I critize the COA is the last 2 for me were Incorrect - My 74 Carrera RS didn't come back as a Carrera, even though the Numbers were correct. One of my -6s didn't state the Correct Interior & even when I provide proof they wouldn't correct it. Fortunately they offered a Money Back Guarentee, so I made a Copy & got my money back I think the 490 gets them confused when their Database changed & they mixed 944 & 914 Numbers up. Pretty sure 490 relates to the Center Cushion. M490 is the mechanic antenna see the 1974 price list (from Germany) translation: antenna mechanic on the left side with suppressor kit 128 DM (German Mark) - for the 1.8 as well as the 2.0 not available for all radios and as the text above says: "all radios include the suppressor kit, speakers and mechanic antenna on the left side" so it's definitely clear, that you could order the antenna kit M490 without ordering a factory radio (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) I thought that Steve Gaglione disproved this ( but my memory escapes me) |
