Default Why would the build sticker NOT match the window sticker?

On the 996 I'm about to purchase the build sheet under the hood doesn't match the window sticker. The window sticker does match what's on the car, and it matches a list from VinDecoder.

Should I be concerned? I haven't given them the money yet...

VinDecoder build sheet is the pdf that's attached...

Mine shows several things on the build sticker that are not on my original window sticker. The build sticker was much more detailed than the window sticker and included things that were considered "standard" in the US market and therefore not on the window sticker.

The window sticker on mine has "sport package". There are four or five codes on the frunk sticker associated with the single option.

One obvious question, does the serial number on the window sticker match the frunk sticker?

Yes, VIN numbers match.
