For your 2005, go to the 2005 worksheet and paste in the vin. I thought it was pretty easy but I've used spreadsheets for decades.

Thanks for the response. It's a 2004 not a 2005 by the way. I literally have no idea how this works. I tried opening the data link in the very first post of this thread and searching for my vin but it says "We couldn't find what you were looking for." Can I just Venmo you $20 to show me how to do it or run my vin for me? Thanks again.

I think @c041v_ kind of summed it up and I paraphrase 'it you can't find your VIN, I couldn't get it'. Looks like not every VIN is in the database. I used the 2004 cabrio worksheet and couldn't find your VIN either. The closest VIN I could find was 792 (yours is 730). Please note the updated db (_v1) has a 2004 cabrio worksheet.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Definitely no reason to be sorry! I appreciate you looking into it for me. Thanks again.

Love all the info you've collected and organized. I finally made it over to check it out after seeing it mentioned on BAT.

I see my vin listed in there and looks good, you had mentioned it wasn't a common combo once, so I had to look. 1 of 2 color combo for the year, 2001 Guards Red/Metropol Blue. Seems wild to me.

I'm trying to figure out how many 2005 turbo s cabs were made that were seal grey with a boxer red interior. From the data listed there were only six cabs made in the boxster red. How many were seal grey? my vin is. WCOCB29945S675219. MK

Hi everyone, resurrecting this in credible thread for a couple of questions.

- How many Manual Turbo S cabs were sold in the US? I read somewhere that the US heavily favored automatic over manual for the cab turbo S, but the global production numbers appear to show the opposite in the spreadsheet (?).

- If it’s possible to go one level deeper… Do we know how many Seal Grey manual turbo S Cabs were sold in North America?

I own one of them - WP0CB29915S675260

Thanks! ​​​​​​​

Figured out how to use the spreadsheet… Replying to myself for future reference.

According to the spreadsheet, there were
- 675 Turbo S Cabs sold in North America
- 641 Turbo S Cabs sold in the US
- 484 Turbo S Cabs in Manual sold in the US
- 49 of those were Seal Grey
- 28 of those had black interior

I’m very surprised that manuals make up such an overwhelming majority of production numbers. I really thought it was the opposite for the cabs.
