Installed options list for used 997
I apologize in advance for the "newbie" question but I am the new owner of a 2007 997S and would like to confirm the installed options. There is no sticker in the owners manual or maintenance book and none on the underside of the hood. I know I can order a Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche for something like $100 but are there any other ways to get a list of the options the factory installed on my car for hopefully a little less money?
Thanks for the help

What you have learned is that Porsche stopped including a list of options on the underside of the hood some time ago. They are also inconsistent when it comes to including it in the maintenance book.
Obviously, the CoA will have it--sort of. (I discovered that the folks in Atlanta (PCNA) are disfunctional when it comes to accuracy on those things).
However, your dealer should be able to pull up some sort of report that shows the 'as delivered' configuration of the car. With so many options driven by computer/software today, those codes must be available to the repair facility. If you have a decent rapport with them, try them first!

Auto Atlanta has a Porsche decoder. Enter your VIN and it will tell you the ordered options.
