Shady Speedway Posted 30June, 2015 Report Share Posted 30June, 2015 So after paying a guy in America to obtain my COA a day ago...........Today.... on good authority........I hear there is an advert in a current German P car magazine suggesting for a lazy 200 Euro Porsche can once again send you a copy of your Kardex!You have to send them your VIN and engine numbers with the money.They banned the practice years ago as low life's where using the info to rebirth cars.Seems they are over it now and they have moved on.I would tell you more but that is all I know at this stage.I'll show off my COA when I get it, lord knows you will never get one in Australia.

clutch-monkey Posted 30June, 2015 Report Share Posted 30June, 2015 Excuse my ignorance.. What is a COA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 30June, 2015 Report Share Posted 30June, 2015 Certificate of Authenticity - Ferrari owners are all over them too, We get 'Certificate of Ownership' in Australiawith the Kardex's, if you get one i'd be keen to see what they look like - is it the same as the Mercedes one with all sorts of random holes etc?

Shady Speedway Posted 30June, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 30June, 2015 Sorry "Certificate Of Authenticity"As I understand it after the factory stopped issuing Kardex's (build sheets) they went to a token form of info called a COA.I could have the details wrong as I don't claim to be an expert on the matter. Though that is how I understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shady Speedway Posted 30June, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 30June, 2015 This is for sample only. I lifted them from Google images. COA v's Kardex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shady Speedway Posted 30June, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 30June, 2015 As I understand it a Kardex can give you highly detailed build specs far over and above the COA. They can also be incorrect with typos and plain old poor record keeping. You will need it translated though......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
