Looking for help with options
Hello All. I'm looking at purchasing a 03 C2 and the seller does not have any information regarding options. I have the VIN. PCNA will not give out any option and the two local dealers I contacted similarly informed me they can not or will not provide the information. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Get the seller to photograph the options sticker that's under the hood (front) and send you a copy - that or just list the option codes from the sticker - from there you can plug them into an option decoder like this one
http://www.kindel.com/Porsche/options.asp
and you'll have the list of factory options. The owner will hopefully then be able to give you a list of aftermarket upgrades that have been done to that car.
Good luck!

I didn't get complete documentation with my '99 either.
So among the handful of options I have, it includes 220 which comes up as Locking Differential.
Does that mean limited slip differential?

Glad to help.
That's one of the most complete option decoder sites that I've come across, although Renntech has a pretty good one also.
As for the locking diff, no, they're not the same.
Here's the differences -

I've run the codes from the car I'm interested in, but the kindel link does not have any information on the following codes: CO2 or C02, x47, x58 and 226. Anyone know the options these codes represent? Thanks very much and Happy New Year. Jack.
