Default Best place to source used parts?

Gonna need some parts to bring my '99 C2 back up to spec.

Found https://norspecdismantling.com/ and left a message but wondering if there are other places to contact other than ebay and craigslist.

Would be nice to deal with confirmed reputable shops rather than crossing fingers...

Thanks!

I have purchased parts from http://www.dcauto.com/ Their website works half the time but its easy to email/call them directly.

Default A few

I’ve had the best luck with Quality Porsche Parts (partsociety.com) and Norspec Dismantling.

Does your Facebook page get much attention?

My 996 and 986 both are full of Norspec parts....In fact, its pretty much the first place I go. Since they are a young company, they occasionally may not have your part right away but They have great customer service.

No, not that much.
We upload photos of new cars on Instagram most frequently. This is the best place to see what new cars we have in.
Ebay has a full and exhaustive list of parts currently in inventory. This is the best way to see a description, photos, availability and price of parts.
Call/text is the best way to speak with a human about... anything, really.

Looks like we missed the opportunity to talk with you over email. Sorry about that! If you ever need anything in the future, I'd be happy to talk with you over the phone.
