Can some one sort out my Vin Number
WPOZZZ92ZJS841710
Can a member tell me what month and year my vehicle was manufactured.
I know it is a 1988 but what month was it manufactured.
Thanx
Peter

that won't be in the VIN code. In the US there is a sticker in the door that has the month of manufacture. The last four numbers in the VIN are later in the sequence (guessing maybe 2500 worldwide in 88)..so total guess probably made in early 88 (Jan or Feb). 88's were made starting in Sept 87 through I believe July/Aug 88)

thats basically what I need...I am currently compliancing the vehicle as it was an import from Stutgart thru Japan.
Pre July 88 makes the difference

Code:
WPOZZZ92ZJS841710 123456789ABCDEFGH 123 = West Germany Porsche 456 = Filler for ROW models 78 = 92(8) 9 = Filler for ROW models A = J is '88 MY B = Place of manufacture, S = Stuttgart C = (92)8 D = Market car was made for, 4 = ROW EFGH = Cars number within market specific sequence, 1710 = 1650th S4 made for ROW market
If it were in German plates originally and factory can't help, one option could be to try to find those German registration documents. It should be possible to get them from Germany at least if Australian registration authorities ask for them from their German counterpart.

I imported my 928 to Oz from NZ.
To get confirmation of the manufactured date, I asked Porsche directly - had to cough up some cash for a letter of origin that confirmed on Porsche-headed paper. I asked Porsche UK as thats where my car was originally delivered, however I know another local who imported a car from NZ and just asked Porsche Australia for his letter.
Here's what they provided me:

The important date for import is the 1/1/1989 - not the model year dates. My car is a MY89 car, but was "made" in Oct '88, and hence an allowable import.
The door-jam sticker people here mention only exists on North American cars - Europe/Japan/RoW don't have that sticker.
