Default options list under hood does not match car

I am looking at a 2003 C2 cab, and the options shown on the sticker under the hood seem odd. They do not match the car, and are not even internally consistant. I did not check the VIN to see if it matched, but I will go back and do that.

Most of the options shown are "leather this" and "leather that", and these seem to match the options on the car.

I first noticed that the car had a few options that were not listed, but may have been add-ons. The car has sat nav, tip, Bose, Porsche CD changer, Porsche 18 inch wheels, twin sport exhausts - but these are not shown on the sticker. Then I noticed memory seats, HID Xenon, and high pressure headlight washers. These are not options typically added at the dealer/after purchase......

Anybody else seen a mis-match like this?

Walk away from that car, there are many cars out there where all numbers match!

Hard to believe, but sometimes Porsche makes mistakes. As long as the VIN on the sticker matches the car, then all is well.

Not all of the options on my car are listed on the sticker and vice versa. I asked my dealer about it and they confirmed that the info in their computer doesn't match the car, but Porsche will not correct mistakes once it leaves the production line.
