Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Here is the Porsche certificate of authenticity for a car that I found. Would this really have a sticker price of $109K? If the base price of a 99 coupe was about $70K....I just don't see what ads up $109K, I've seen a few window stickers on the 996's and never seen anything that was this high, I don't think I've seen ones greater than the 80's. Thanks!

POST 2Original post

well, you did find this post the OPTION CODES sticker, then pull the $$$ for each here: https://admin.porschedealer.com/ P.S. Above site needs a log-in now to access but a member shared the link before and I was able to plug mine. Learned that my car stickered @ $86, 750.

POST 4Original post

I have the original window sticker for my '99 C4 w/ aero kit and it's $99,500. What you show has a few more options than mine, so probably a realistic number.

POST 5Original post

Replace the VIN in the link below and you can see the sticker free. https://admin.porschedealer.com/repo...AA29902S623415

POST 6Original post

Looks like the car has a lot of expensive equipment. It doesn't sound impossible to me!

POST 8Original post

Ours was around 103 or something. The Aerokit and HiFi stereo were expensive options (something around $15k for the pair if i remember correctly). The sport classics weren't cheap either. Just those 3 alone should break the $90k mark. You should really go play with the configurator for the current 991 (or any Porsche). Almost no one buys a base car with no options and it is insanely easy to add 20-30k options before you know it.

POST 9Original post

You will soon learn that Porsche has stupid prices on options.

It's those floor mats---ha.

POST 11Original post

You can start with a base Boxster and build a $100K plus car - so yeah, hitting that number isn't so hard when you're ticking boxes on the Porsche order form.

POST 12Original post

My 2003 996 was over $90k new (I forgot the exact number). Surprisingly, the sticker on my 2012 997 was barely $90k...and has more options.

POST 13Original post

Mine was $68,030 with relatively few options. Luckily, they were decent choices made by the first owner. Leather Sport seats, traction control with ABD, on board computer. Very sparse option list. Base price was $65,030.

Sadly, could not get the link to accept my VIN. "this vehicle is not available" Curious about the sticker on my 2000 Millennium Edition, that was stuffed with options.

POST 15Original post

This is fun. Put in my former 996 and it shows my 2003 was only $88,950. Guess you got a lot of free stuff with the C4S.

POST 16Original post

My window sticker is folded up and tucked inside the owners manual so I don't have to guess. $88,710.00. ForumRunner_20141103_155555.png

POST 17 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What is the "on board computer" the MPG computer? When I put the VIN in on this car, it came back as "not in database" also. Put some ebay cars in, some would work (cars that were 02's), but the few 99's and 00's would not show up. Just sold the 968.....sad day, but that means I am on the hunt for a 911!

I don't see how you get there. On the AOL Autos page, you can still price out a car like it's 1999, and putting in these options, I get $93,775 as MSRP: Base Price 65,030 Dark Blue Metallic Paint 3,010 Savannah Beige Leather 3,215 Radio 345 Porsche Crest in Headrest 208 Power Seat Package 1,520 HiFi Sound 600 Remote CD Changer 705 Wheel Caps with Colored Crest 170 OBC 275 Headlight Washers 225 Heated Front Seats 400 Leather Steering Wheel 1,511 Floor Mats 110 18" Wheels 2,656 AeroKit 8,715 Special Chassis 690 Xenon Headlights 1,070 Leather AB Pillars 1,378 Aluminum / Chrome Package 1,942

POST 21 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The $93,775 seems more like a number I can believe and get to. I really have no idea how Porsche got to the $109K sticker price. Regardless, it looks like it is very nicely optioned. It could have leather on the center console, etc, but there isn't much more it could have. I will be seeing the car Thursday.

It took me a while to figure it out.....just go into the URL of the link that was posted with the details on the 2002. Go up to your browser bar and in the URL address, change the VIN number to yours and hit enter. It might or might not be in the database, but as I said before, some that I found on ebay were, but the 99's and 00's that I tried were not. If you hit back, it will bring you to the admin page, you don't go there, just change the VIN in the URL and hit enter.

Thanks for explaining. That was quite an interesting little exploration. My 11yr old C4S was over $91K. Quite a base price, as KrazyK said - lots of things thrown into those C4S models

POST 25Original post

Quotes source post: 11775359

The thing that I find odd about the COA is that some of the nomenclature is incorrect. 'Xenon' headlights were never an option on the 996; pre 2002 they were 'Litronic' and post 2002 they were bi-Xenon. It also seems odd that the list doesn't call out packages, but lists the options independently (the aluminum/chrome package), and then lists packages (Aerokit) that were actually sold separately (F+R spoilers was one option, side skirts was another). Also, I don't believe that the stiffer suspension option (030) was called "rigidly tuned" until the MKII cars. Earlier it was just the Sport Package, I think. It just doesn't make sense that Porsche would change their internal designation for options.

POST 27Original post

Thanks for the link. This was fun and interesting. Mine came out to $85,910.

POST 29Original post

Very cool. My 2002 silver coupe was built in September 2001 and stickered at $73,885. Base price was $67,900. Not a lot of options 18" liteweight wheels with coloured crests: $1500 PSM: $1230 heated seats $415 floor mats: $115 That's all fine and well but what's the Technic package for $1930 ? The arctic silver paint was free.

POST 30Original post

That site is wonky and not completely trustworthy. I first saw it awhile ago in the Cayenne forum. My 2013 P!g was there, but the 01 996 wasn't. After awhile it showed up too, but to this day it shows as a Targa rather than the C4 that it actually is. A few of the prices were off too (we have the sticker). It is funny to see a "Targa" build sheet with "Sunroof delete" though
