I got mine through Gert when I was ordering some other stuff from him. Best price I could find on that valve.

What was their reason for the change in price? Do they do that on cars, too?

No reason actually. I just told them that I could get it for cheaper and asked if they'd match... they said sure <shrug>

I thnk a lot of people who use the stealerships just pay up so they can get away with that nonsense.

Hey Dennis you should also check with Weissach if you can wait for the parts? They are really competitive and with Porsche's strange Canadian pricing sometimes its much cheaper up here. In this case it was $90CDN with taxes, or about $76 US so its about the same. What did you pay for the gaskets?

Cheers,

Mike
