I bought one for my first 991 because I bought it used and didn't have the original window sticker. My second 991, bought CPO, Porsche included the CoA and I had the window sticker, too. On my new, ordered 911, no CoA but I have the window sticker which is all I cared about.

"Since you guys are in this forum, I am guessing you like Porsches, the history and the brand. #MeToo"

FWIW, my daughter told me that using the #MeToo out of context was unacceptable and inappropriate.

You mean that your daughter actually reads this forum? Gawd dam! I'll have to watch what I say from now on.

Why are people having to buy their CoA on new cars. Porsche has sent me one for the two cars I've bought new. They just show up in the mail a month or two after the sale.

Never understood why anyone would pay for a COA. Do you need to be reassured that you bought a real Porsche when you bought the new car? So you hang it on the wall.....LOOK I GOT A REAL PORSCHE. I just do not get it. Just frame your window sticker....that is good enough for me and it came free with the car. Even if you buy a used air cooled Porsche, I would not rely on an easily forged piece of paper that I bought the real thing.
IMHO

Exactly. It's a gift from your salesperson at the dealership. I like having mine. It's sitting in the car history file for the next steward.

That's interesting. They've never once mentioned it before or after a sale, or any other time.

I like the little tombstones with my name and the VIN on them.
