Thanks for the link to the annual report - I love reading through the charts and graphs.
Yes, it works. I added the zip code without adding distance.

Good! Sadly, I don't know how long we will have access to it. I really liked being able to search for specific options and colors.

When I was looking (at the old site I presume), what Porsche had on their national site generally did not match up with what the dealers showed in inventory on their individual websites.

It was just a matter of time just like what occurred with the VIN# lookup

Both new and old websites get their inventory lists from adding cars in to the "IPL " section of their internal connection to Porsche. Not from other sites like cars.com or auto trader. Some dealers are lazy or forget to add to the Porsche internal database. that is why they are not shown. I had a lengthy conversation with the people who manage this and they are taking a lot of suggestions on how to make it better as this is controlled at PCNA and not PAG. I feel that over a little bit of time it will be a lot easier to use.

Excellent. However, when I click on the link the build sheet flashes and disappears. This is the full URL: http://admin.porschedealer.com/repor...AB2A9XDS123337

Haha. I had the same issue with the URL getting truncated when pasting.

Maybe this works:
