I get most of my general parts from Pelican
If you need something more along the line of motor rebuild parts, then EBS.

Dana,
1. It would be helpful if you list your location.
2. Pelican is great for OEM and original parts.
3. There are a lot or 'parts recyclers' all over the country. (Two in the SF BAy area are EASY & Parts Heaven.) Many advertise in various Porsche mags. I have bought from quite a few of them, and have never gotten less than I expected.

I live in Seattle, but I've heard good things about this spot in the East Bay:

Some parts can be dealer-only, but many aftermarket suppliers can get the same parts that your dealer can from Porsche at a discount. They can then pass the savings on to you much cheaper than the dealer price.

Other parts that are manufactured by outside vendors such as brakes, tune up, and many suspension parts, can be ordered easily.

It is probably best to state which parts you are interested in and we can point you in the right direction. Many Porsche parts vendors also advertise in Excellence magazine, and similar publications.

Vertex Auto usually beats Pelican prices. There's also Automotion. The best prices I've found are from Sonnen Porsche.

And great technical articles and forum posts to help you figure out just about anything you can think of with respect to installing the parts.
