best place to buy parts from

[cytefx]

Hi,

I am new to the ownership of the Porsche brand, this will probably be the start of a long list of questions.

I have got the part number from the on-line PET catalogue, where is the best place to get the parts from, direct from Porsche or are the independents like Porsche Shop able to get the same parts at a larger discount?

The list of parts that I need so far are an repair kit for the magnetic clutch (the air con compressor wire is broke.) an a pressure hose for the inter-cooler.

thanks

There isn't one good place, most in the trade including me use Euro car parts, sometimes GSF are cheaper but not often, sometimes only porsche shop or design 911 can supply it, sometimes Porsche themselves are the cheapest.

I now work by the rule of thumb that if the genuine part is not much more or the same buy genuine, at least then you know it will fit. But a lot of stuff is fine aftermarket.

For used parts I have always used prestige salvage in leeds and porschapart over manchester way.

Those items sound like main dealer only...

Remember membership of PCGB gets you about 10% reduction on Porsche main dealer pricing.

As WildOliver states you have to pick and choose. Eurocar parts are good as are GSF. I purchased Bosch distributor caps and rotor arms for my 993 from GSF at about 40% less then the main dealer price. The parts were identical.
