What's with the options list printed upside down on the sticker?

What if you're a DIYer? How hard is it to replace the clutch? Doesn't the trans pull out and leave the engine in the car?

Real cool color combination IMO. I like the interior and exterior.

They were dealer installed prior to customer delivery, so they can be pretty random. Some cars don't even have them.

Trivia Alert!

Every car sold new must have the window sticker. That sticker actually has a document name. It is a Monroney document.

It seems hard to believe but even in the 50s & 60s there were some crooked car dealers. Monroney sponsored the legislation to make it the law that only the consumer could remove the sticker that the manufacturer was required to put on the car.

Monroney sticker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Named for the same senator that the FAAs home office complex is named after.

And now you know the rest of the story!

The option sticker on the inside of the trunk lid has nothing to do with Monroney or any law. In fact, only Porsche has this sticker in this location, AFAIK. When the new car arrives at the dealer from factory, it has two of those stickers. One is affixed to the inside of trunk lid and the other is hanging from it on the contact paper. Someone at the factory on the end of the line takes the piece of contact paper with two identical stickers on it showing VIN and equipment, peels back the contact paper half way and sticks one on inside of hood with other hanging. The dealer is supposed to put the other one in the maintainance book, (or owners manual, can't remember).

If a Porsche does not have this sticker, the hood had been replaced and the body shop did not order a replacement sticker from factory.

As for being printed upside-down, that was a problem with the printer that day.

I've never seen one upside down. I have found them impossible to remove and transfer, so likely the worker was still hung over from the weekend.

Did you see the photo? The sticker itself is right-side up but the typing is upside-down. Someone loaded the sticker paper in the printer wrong. Still makes your hangover theory valid.

And they definitely used adhesive that made sticker not removable.

I'm sticking with hangover.

[sc_rufctr]

oh... lol We must be bored

[techweenie]

Not exactly confidence-inspiring, eh?

[sc_rufctr]

Someone made a mistake and didn't correct it... Hey maybe it's worth more because it is upside down. lol

Someone got yelled at on that Monday morning, "Jurgen, you dumkoff!! Sheiss!"

[sc_rufctr]

LOL...

But it just goes to show you what good quality photo can do. That really is a text book add for a car.
Lots of people would be looking at each and every one of those.

[speeder]

It depends. Great photos can be a hindrance or a help for the seller, based on what they show. They're always great for buyers, though.

[Neilk]

Shows as sold. Did someone here buy it?

[speeder]

Someone somewhere bought it.
