Unfortunately, that's an international VIN (as you noted) so it can't be decoded using the Porsche site or others. Porschevin.com is a good site for generating the original buildsheet but it won't work for every VIN (including this one unfortunately).

Guys, did the site stop working??? I haven't used it in about a week and now it brings me to Porsche US Dealer Search instead. Did they finally close the door on this invaluable resource???

Is there a source for buildsheets for non-US VINs? All of the ones mentioned in this thread did not work (WP1ZZZ9PZ4LA45033 and WP1AC29P23LA90213).

Agree. Its happened in the last 3-4 days. I'm hoping they did not turn the valve off. Very helpful for owners and prospective owners to research and validate vehicles. There is nothing confidential or proprietary in the build sheets. Its simply VIN and specs. Invaluable tool when seeing cars for sale to validate listings and fact-check.

Hopefully its just downtime maintenance and it will pop back online?

It's still not working. It just routes you to a dealer locator page. I'm guessing this is permanent close of the back door. Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long, but why not make it available to non-dealers?

You can still look up build sheets on pcarfinder.com by entering a VIN into the search bar.

Yeah, no. That doesn’t work and seems to only list cars for sale?

It should work for MY2000 and newer in North America. What's the VIN you are trying to look up?

Edit: PCAR BUILDSHEET (pcarbuildsheet.com) is now available and also allows you to search for previous listings of your VIN.

It worked for two of the VIN's I put in, and they aren't for sale unless my other half is trying to clear out the garage without my knowledge.

As long as you don’t see any listing dates under Current (renamed from Active in the gif above), your toys are safe.

Just put in your vin# and your build sheet options are listed along with cost.

435,471 Porsche Vin numbers on record.
