Default Where to buy filters ect?

Where do y'all buy your oil filters?

Are you sure you want to invest in parts for a vehicle that may have a short stay?

FWIW, I always go with Jeff at Sunset Imports for OEM parts:

+ 1 for Jeff Clark at Sunset, he is awesome.

Ask for prices on stuff you may need for the 993, you may be impressed.

Jeff made a lot of effort getting parts that nobody else gave a damn to look for, was a clip for my stereo harness on my 87 Carrera. I gave a big order during his search and he hooked me up.

For the Cayenne I would use Sunset. As for Pelican I have had good dealings and feel obligated to buy from them at times since the wealth of information on the 89 and older 911's is vast and beyond.

Well, I already have. I bought her a roof rack the 1st week we had it.
It just turned 20k miles , so I need to do an oil change. I figured I may as well change the cabin filter as well.
I'll look at the air filter and decide on it.
Thanks, I sent Sunset an inquiry.

Try Suncoast Motorsports in Florida. They have lots of parts that you can search for online at the following link. I got my air filters, oil filters, wiper blades, cabin filter from them.

From Pelican you're pretty much going to pay full retail.

Sunset
AutohausAZ.com
Paragon Products for some parts

I've used them all, they all have their pluses and minuses.

+1 on Sunset. They have the best Porsche parts pricing @15% over cost.

Some Bosch items are cheaper via other suppliers like AutohausAZ.
Best bet is to shop a bit. There can be drastic differences.

For example, AutohausAZ had the best prices on Bosch cap, rotor, plugs for my 993tt...
