Default Does Sunset Portsche Still Sell Parts at Cost?

It's been a while since I ordered from them. If not, anyone else? I thought Suncoast Porsche in Sarasota did as well.

Sunset's add in Excellence states dealer cost +20%. Usually the best price for most stuff.

Sunset (with the discount from Renntech) I believe has the best prices.

Both Sunset & Suncoast are comparable and both have good service.
The folks at Sunset are really nice to deal with, just got some Cayenne parts from them and have dealt with them many, many times over the years.

Suncoast is in Sarasota, Sunset is in Oregon (IIRC). I've purchased from both, but have to pay sales tax on
Suncoast orders. great prices from both, they even beat my indi's prices on maintenance items.

Sunset is great. If timeliness is an issue though, make sure to ask about shipping time if you are east of the Mississippi.

In the past I have bought a few things from Sunset that they did not have in stock and had to order from Porsche's east coast warehouse (in Atlanta?). Sunset had it shipped to Oregon, inspected it, and then shipped to me in NC. The process took more than a week. A 968 starter took two weeks.

This is not a complaint or criticism. I appreciated their diligence, as once a replacement part for my 968's rear wing assembly arrived in Oregon broken and they had to re-order it.
