Default Help for a possibe owner

I have a friend who is looking forward to purchasing a possible 1987 944/951 Turbo. I was wondering if anyone knows about the availability of aftermarket and OEM parts for the car? Any information would help, thanks.

Availability is not an issue with this car. almost anything you want, and theres probably more then one source. The aftermarket following is surprisingly active, and quite competitive. This car has lots of support in these areas!

Availabilty isn't much of a problem (unless it is it a non-moving part) as mentioned above. Here is a list of various OEM and Aftermarket suppliers if you are interested:

Oh you are posting for a "friend", I used to have to tell my ex GF I was getting the parts for a "friend". Come out of the closet!

#1 don't go to dealer for parts.

Shop around, Hosrom put up a good list. Also My Swiss has competive prices.

Nah, the car is seriously for my friend whom came across several on sale posted on Autotrader. I am putting a deposit for a 2005 GSX-R750 this month. You're killing me NZ951.
