I'm originally from Britain and I'd never seen a dealer window sticker until I came to live here. In Britain, and perhaps in most of Europe, when one goes to buy a new car, the dealer has a car for demonstration purposes, usually covered with "Please don't touch " labels. You drive it, decide you want to buy one (or not). The salesman brings out a list of all the options available, you pick the ones you want, and with a little bit of luck, several weeks later you get a call and the red 914 2.0l S you ordered has magically become an arctic blue 1.7 and you are offered a take it or leave it and you may get your 2.0l some months later. I'm exaggerating, but I was amazed to see dealers with acres of cars for immediate delivery when I first needed to buy a car here. What you do find, ( I've found one on all Karmann built cars I've bought in Europe), is a line ticket secreted somewhere on the car with a (coded) list of the options on the car.
