I've requested a Porsche Product Specifications (COA), and its now been a month since they charged my Credit Card, and I still have not received anything.
Is this normal? Do I need to be more patient? |

Porsche is making a big push into their Classic Centers which was both service and restore the early cars. Thus, they are tightening the grip on the info for our cars. They say the new COA is set up to prevent fraud, i.e. stamping of blank engines, which does happen, but what the COA is really becoming is a tool to help value a car, meaning if your car is matching numbers and you have the Porsche paperwork to prove it, it's worth more. Like a lot of things Porsche it's becoming all about the money, not the fun. |
