I have been trying to get some parts from Porsche. I run through and order what the dealer shows is available. As we all know, lots of parts are NLA. By using what I believed to be factory list, I was hoping to find out quickly what is there or not. What I am finding is just because it is listed does not come close to being factual. It seems that lots of parts are listed but have NEVER been purged from the listings. The other problem is where the item is located. Unless you have the parts person on the phone pulling up each item and location, it will take lots of emails to get it done.
GO live and order one time. |

This is a good point to be made and a post I hadn't thought about making.
For a lot of things, dealing with the parts counter is much better. When I'm buying from Porsche, I work through Hoen in Carlsbad. All of the people have been very willing to help me out when I call. The newer ones are intrigued because they are looking up vintage parts. There's one guy there though that knows everything about 914's it seems and just knocks it out of the park every time. |
