In the past I’ve always tried browsing forums to try to find out an options list. In the past few years though I’ve found that it is harder and harder to find these. Searching forum posts from 10+ years ago is difficult especially with the limited search tools that are often provided.

Sometimes I try to find old news articles from when a car was announced, but they generally aren’t’ complete options list, and it’s even harder to find mid generation options that were added later.

So my question is what is the best resource you have found to get options lists? Or if you have any tips for searching forums.

Thanks!

    Vinanalytics will tell you the build spec of a Porsche based on VIN and they’ve since added BMW, Mini, Rolls Royce to their decoder.

    Until recently, Autobytel had a tool where you could build and price most cars 1996 and newer (I think). It had all the options and packages listed. Sadly, it’s gone and I’ve found no replacement.
