Last time I got a quote from him, he stated he wanted 70% of dealer list price for the used/salvage parts. If you call most dealers that advertise in Excellence and Pano, they offer 25-30% off list price.

I dont know, I asked why and even offered to meet him at a gas station no more then a 5 minute drive for either of us and he still said he only ships. I was too frustrated at that point to even ask why.

Since he does business out of his home perhaps he does not want strangers coming there.

Marc- Now that I think about it, I did call awhile back (more then a year ago) - think it could have been because I sounded VERY young? I was 15 at the time...maybe he thought I was trying to scope it out to steal parts?
Could be a reason now that I think of it

Chris,
Why do you want 87 spindles and A-arms? Why not 86 so that it is the same offset as what you have? Are you changing the rear components to late offset as well?
I agree the spindles and hubs sound a bit high, but the a-arms are about the price I would expect from a dismantler.

Granted, it's been a while since I have bought anything.
When I bought my first Porsche, an 86 NA 844 about 8 or 9 years ago George was one of the really helpful people on the email lists.
Saved me a bunch of money and I could not complain about the service.

That's strange that he would not let you pick up the part. When I was living in Fishkill I called him once to see where he was at and he not only gave me directions to his place but told me I could stop by anytime.
