I have recently obtained an ownership certificate from Porsche which agrees with the handbook dates etc but the main numbers on the handbook sticker don't match the sticker under the hood which matches the chassis number. The option codes do agree on both though.

Anyone out there have ant ideas on this?
saintz, frrom what i understand it wasn't unusual for ROW cars to have some differences in the VIN, however, I'm not certain about the options codes, my assumption is they should match?

The ROW cars should have the last 5 digits of the VIN match between the VIL (Vehicle Information Label) and the actual VIN on either the door jamb plate sticker (depending on year) and the VIN tag on "A" pillar or windshield/dash area as well as the raised stamp VIN in the luggage compartment just above the spare tire.

If the last 5 digits match you should be fine, if this sequence is different you should investigate further.
