Mr. Adair

Just start the process with Chris he will walk you through it. He has methods. CarFax usually gives you a clue to the first owner and where it was purchased. Also, there should be a card and or a stamp inside the original owners manual..

So, just curious, why do you want the window sticker for your car?

Mr. Adair

Here is my first proof from Chris. Pretty damn cool IMO. He found some really cool stuff on my car. Tourist delivery costs etc. He has access to some good stuff. For me well worth the cost as I will never find the original. I am getting a laminated version and an extra paper version to go with the car if I sell it. For me at least these things make a difference when I buy a car.

Same.... 1x laminated and 1x paper. The one thing he said would be missing unless you also have the original is the order reference number (would be right above the right most bar code).

Mr. Adair

Looks like it's on mine?

nwGTS

Like mine, there is no number above the bar code on yours. It would look like this:


And just to note, it is NOT the same number as the commission number found on your options print out.

Mr. Adair

Ok, now I get it. Thanks..

Thanks for the thumbs up. I had fun working on these latest batches. Hopefully they add something to your documentation.

My Rennlist sponsorship has expired so I wont abuse the forum and over shill. But I did want to mention the code above the bar code is not the order ref number. Thats the dealership number. 450 is the prefix and the last four digits represent your dealer #. Youll see the dealer number by the dealer address as well. Some formats have the number above the barcode, some dont. Off the top of my head the new formats do. They are all a little different.

Yes, the commission # is different than Order Ref #. Commission #s are not germane anywhere on the stickers.

The order ref # is usually SOL unless theres an original bill of sale. It would obviously be on the original sticker too, but if you had that, there would be no need to reproduce the sticker at all. You can usually find your dealer information from the glove box books. The warranty/manual should have a dealer stamp when the original salesperson noted the delivery mileage on the first couple pages. Not always there -- but usually is. If not, there are a cpl hail mary passes that can usually uncover it.

If mods finds this post out of bounds, please delete.

Thanks for clarifying the order ref # loc, Chris. You said to me via email that the order reference number was in the lower right so there must be another place for numbers to go. I'm sure someone with an original 7.2 monroney can spot that.

UDPride

Order Ref # is always in the same vicinity as the VIN and dealer info area. Usually says "Order Reference". Porsche moved the VIN/Dealer area around through the years so I may have been speaking to a different layout. Suncoast VIN reports will not reveal the Order Ref # either, just in case you were thinking of checking there. Not to dissuade anyone from ever purchasing one of their reports -- they can be valuable to have for many reasons. Ive seen the Order Ref # on a few original bill of sales, but its a rare occasion when someone still has such a record w/the car unless they were original owners and fastidious recordkeepers.

Going to give this a try for my 2011 M3!
