I had to use capitals to make mine work, then it was no problem!

All my paperwork on the car says Meridian Metallic...the build sheet says it's Arctic Silver Metallic using the VIN.
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.

Credit for this goes to "Vampyre" great site works on 1995 Porsche or newer. Very useful if you're shopping and what to find out EXACTLY what your prospective Porsche you're considering came with. Just remember that the third letter is NOT a letter it's a ZERO. Also VIN is case sensitive.

OOppps! Sorry not working.
Interesting...I never ran the build sheet off my VIN before.
All my paperwork on the car says Meridian Metallic...the build sheet says it's Arctic Silver Metallic using the VIN. Also sold for $85k...and they never took delivery of the hard top.
Thanks for the link
Maybe because the links I posted are for OPTION CODES...not VINs
particularly useful in deciphering the OPTIONs STICKER under your frunk
too bad for you
It didn't find mine either. I used the zero instead of the letter O and it says 'No data available in table'.
also tried year and model all divisions, same result.
website was flaking out several days ago. Got the info printed for both my 996TT and 996 C4S and then it wouldn't work anymore. Believe that was last Friday.
2003 Carrera 4S Speed Yellow / 1955 356 Continental 1500 Rust Red
Well...if I could tell a 5 from an "S" it would have worked the first time! $90,600 new. Surprised the Dash Trim, Air Vents, and Seat Belt Outlets painted the exterior color were from the factory. Thanks!
I had the same problem. My sheet matches the original window sticker that came with my car. Pretty sweet website.
I assume the answer is yes but is the total number of entries for a year and specific submodel equal to the total number manufactured?
Would be cool to be able to enter your exact configuration and see how many were made.
Doesn't seem to have much info in there for pre-2001 996's. If you look at the listing of all 400,000-odd cars, there are only 104 listings for 1999 - 2000. My car wasn't in there either.
KoB is right on. Mine had no record, so I searched on all 1999 C4 coupes. Only two hits, neither of which were mine. Cool tool for those lucky enough to find their cars though! Very curious as to what determines which cars are in the database and which are not.
I searched the database more closely and found only 104 VINs listed before Model Year 2001.
(2 vehicles listed for 1995, 0 for 1996, 24 for 1997, 12 for 1998, 29 for 1999 & 37 for 2000)
The entire list contains 435,641 entries up to and including the new 2015 Macan Turbo.
Don't need it...Still have the window sticker for my car in the big 3 inch binder the previous owners kept with all receipts and documentation.
And I continue to add to it with my inputs as well. The only receipts I don't keep are those for gas.
