All,
I've been doing a lot of searching in old threads (honest Andy!). But I'm not finding any details. I'm looking to find some history of my car. I believe it was a Palm Springs car for most of its life, and I emailed a couple current dealers in the area, asking if they had any records for the VIN number... but no luck I was hoping there was a way to trace back to which dealer originally sold the car, or possibly find some history or records for the car. (When I bought the car, there was no maintenance book, and the history story was not able to be verified). I have the original Cali Blue Plates, but not sure if they provide any value to getting some history for the car. Do any of you Cali guys have any tricks to find some history via the VIN or Blue Plate? Turk |

QUOTE(draganc @ Jan 2 2013, 11:06 PM)  QUOTE(turk22 @ Jan 2 2013, 08:01 PM) I think if you request a CoA from Porsche it will also list when and where the car was sold - 100% sure. Try google-ing CoA. Incorrect, the CoA will Not state when & where the car was Sold. Back in the 90's sometimes they would state what Distributer the car went through. The CoA will give you the Color Code, Interior Code, Motor Number & Options & that is if you are Lucky. I've gotten CoA's with the wrong Interior & Options, one didn't even identify my car as a Carrera CoA's are an expensive piece of paper |
