question about my VIN...

[rsfeller]

I'm trying to sell my 986 on ebay and it won't take my VIN!!!! The vin is as follows:

WPOCA2988VS625207

They claim it's not a valid VIN but I bought it on EBAY, have the original car fax and am looking at all my official documents which match the windshield VIN.

Is EBAY on crack or can you tell me something "odd" about this vin?

I did note the original car fax did state this was a 2.7L engine but it is a non-S and has the 2.5L. I'm sure this is simple carfax error.

Thoughts?

Are the "O's" actually 0's(zeros)?

You nailed it. It took me an hour to figure out the O was a 0...who makes these choices? I also found the nifty decoder under documents...

WP0 is for Germany - Porsche

Funny thing, according to my Porsche dealer, my car is a fake or something...to many digits.

What happens in the VIN decoder on this site? How many digits do you have? Is it a euro delivery or such?

Just for everyone's future reference, there are no letter "O"s or letter "I"s in VIN's so as not to be confused with a "zero" or a "one". Many decoders recognize that many people are not familiar with this and change the letters O and I to the numbers. I am surprised that eBay's decoder does not do that.

WP0 (zero)=sports cars WP1= Cayenne.

If Sports Cars = 1, and SUV = 2, I wonder what Panamera is?
