Best Source for Parts

All these posts about add-on parts for lights, interior containers, etc. have finally got to me and I've got the 'urge to splurge'. Now the question is who or what is the best source for Porsche Tequipment items as to availability, price, etc? Some dealers offer a discount (for PCA membership or otherwise) and some don't. Who have you used, what are your experiences, and would you recommend them? I would like to direct orders to our relevant sponsors if all other things are equal. Thanks for any and all inputs.

Check with some of our sponsors first Sponsors as well as this is another good reason for me to set up a products/services database and add it to this site. (separate thread on that already)

Aaron Carlton at Suncoast Porsche without question (1-877-923-1700 ext. 2035)

They offer excellent prices and provide outstanding service. Aaron will take the time to understand what you need and will always go above the call to get you your parts quickly (and I have asked for some weird stuff).

Cheers,

The two best sources I've found for oem Porsche parts have consistently been Suncoast Porsche (FL) and Sunset Porsche (OR). Suncoat is a site sponsor, Sunset is not. Both offer great service and can be found online. For lower cost items where shipping is a large percentage of the price, don't forget your local dealer. Many offer PCA discounts, if you ask.

Keep an eye on the Vendor and Sponsor Forum for specials and group buys - for example Tischer Porsche (sponsor) has a number of specials going right now.

I don't think they are a sponsor but Hendrick Porsche Parts (4porscheparts.com) is the best I've dealt with, along with the best prices. If they are not a sponsor they should be!

You might check with your local dealer and see if they can do better than the 10% PCA discount. Mine did better with a little persuasion.

These guys are pretty good - JPLV. Bought miscellaneous parts and Carrera 3 takeoffs from them. Decent prices and good service.
