Hi

VIN: WP0ZZZ92ZMS800682

Can you tell me any more than this:
WP0 = West-Germany Porsche
ZZZ
92
Z
M = 1991
S = Stuttgart
8 = 928
0 = Euro GT
0682 = Serial Number

We're trying to find the options.

Thanks in advance

Rob Edwards

Hi friendsgoto-

Sure, this is a Japanese market '91 S4 automatic. It's not a '91 GT, because it has an automatic transmission.

There are no listed options other than a tinted windshield. It is very common for the Japanese market cars to have minimal numbers of options listed- it's never clear whether that's because the car doesn't have any options or whether Porsche intentionally did not list options in the database for some obscure reason.

If the car only has the M567 option, this would mean that it has no sunroof, no rear air-conditioning, no rubstrips, no airbags, etc, which is a very unusual configuration in the US- less so in European markets.

Thanks Rob! Unfortunately it does have the rub strips but still a nice car. I was really hoping for LSD but no dice apparently. It has the platinum anodized wheels though I see no mention of that in the options list. I love the platinum wheels so much better than the silver. They truly make the car. And I’m sure you agree. My special edition euro GTS is currently in Customs in Georgia awaiting approval. Can’t wait to get that car and get it going. It should be on BaT by mid to late July if all goes well. Hopefully the market will be doing well at that time.
