where can I look up what options my car came with

[PooShee]

Hey all, does any one have a resource for looking up your car based on VIn to figure out what factory options the car came with.

And does anyone know how to tell if the tranny has an LSD without jacking it up and sturning wheels?

These guys charge $10. Most of the free ones are shut down now.

Call 1-800-porsche.

Tell them you are interesting in buying a car and then give them the VIN number.

PooShee,
Depending on your car, there may be a label on the underside of the front trunk that lists the option on your car. Once you find that, do a Google search using the terms Porsche option codes. Several sites will come up. Pick which one you like.

What year is your car???????????

There should be a label in the trunk as ned904 says.
I just checked and this decoder works:
Porsche Option Decoder

I have used others, but can't locate the bookmarks.
