Default How to validate matching #'s without COA?

Is there a way to confirm a numbers matching car without a COA from Porsche? The old fax a form and wait method isn't the best option when you are trying to buy a ar in this market.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Pretty sure any dealer can pull it with a VIN, I know Suncoast offers it for around $10.

The VIN report that Suncoast offers does have the engine and transmission numbers on the report. I checked that report against the numbers that are physically on my car and they match.

I’ve heard Porsche is no longer offering COA’s?

Good to know that Suncoast VIN Decoder has this info, makes it worth purchasing for our records.

As far as I know, Porsche will, they're just no longer free.

TSB's were always charged for. IIRC last one I paid $110 for. I had to send them pictures of my window sticker to get one of mine correct after two tries. I had heard they will no longer list engine serial numbers which is a shame. With so many games being played these were a good resource.
