Will really suck. I've been saying this for a while that it could be taken away. At the same time, what's the big deal? Dealers complain consumers have too much info?? Too much emphasis on $$ off MSRP, etc. Really runs counter to the Porsche marketing model.

We will see .....

Seriously? 1/2 of the time dealers don't post the sticker or correct options. It can be nearly impossible to determine a build, via the internet, without putting eyes on the car. If there is no way to run a build sheet, a lot of people are going to be very disappointed.

Vindecoderz doesn't work anymore either (for newly decoded VINs). PorscheVIN and Vindecorderz caches previous lookups, so that stuff still works but new stuff ... no bueno.

An important tool has been taken away. Behind the scenes due diligence will no longer be available. I guess we are going to have to actually speak to the seller to find out option codes, etc. Like going to a gun fight with no bullets.

try just 'http://admin.porschedealer.com/reports/build_sheets/print.php?vin=WP0AB2A90HS122817'

it looks like there's an issue with establishing an https connection, but an http (non-secure) connection works for me using Safari.

(p.s. its likely just a technical glitch... not a conspiracy LOL)
