Why buy used?

Looks like it's the same as this one:

I have that one -- and I believe the two links describe the same product.

Better than a broken one, and it looks decent -- but the button action is not nearly as smooth as stock and of course chrome rather than black. The button issue is that if pressed too firmly will become stuck in the 'pressed' position, which of course defeats the lockouts.

At some point, after I've bought a lot of more important parts, I'll order a new Porsche AT handle. In the mean time this one will suffice.

^^^ I haven't had the sticking problem with mine, but I imagine quality control varies a lot on an $8 item from China. I painted the button and base flat black.

Paint. I should have thought of that. Doh. No issues with wear?

Love the Porsche Classic radio BTW. Looks great. I hope to go that way myself when I'm done with other spendy bits.
