996tt options pls help

shinrai · 05:24 AM

Hi all,

x post from 996 forum:

I've never owned a newer Porsche but found a 996tt I'd like to add to the garage.
The car has no option sticker under the hood or in the owner's manual. Don't know why. Hood looks original.
How do we figure this out for post '98 cars? I'd like to know what it came with from the factory.

Will PCA help me with this?

Did you look in the owners manual? There is usually a copy of the sticker in there.

Certificate of Authenticity but cost $100 or so, and takes some time. Strange that there is no sticker in the manual, that is supposed to be part of the delivery prep, maybe original manual was lost(?) You should be able to see most options, on 996TT lots of interior options, carbon fiber, wood trim, leather, embossed seats, sport seats, radios/nav, X50 is there if you can feel ridges on the intercoolers (reach in through the vent on the side), need to put on a lift and you can check for LSD. You could run the sticker way up on these with these options...but you don't seem to get much of a premium when you sell for the loaded ones.

I was able to send in the VIN from my 98 Boxster to PCA and got a full report back from Porsche about the options the car came with. I'm not sure who did it for me, but I've found Vu Nguyen to be very responsive - he probably can't generate the report for you, but will know who to contact.
