Default Canadian Vendor Equal to Suncoastparts.com

Hello all,

Relatively new here. Took delivery of new Carmine Red GTS 2 weeks ago. Does anyone know of a Canadian vendor/dealer that can supply the same parts and accessories as suncoastparts.com ?

Buying from suncoast and paying the exchange rate and shipping is making for some questionable purchases.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. The car is fast............real fast.

"Canadian Vendor Equal to Suncoastparts" = oxymoron.

There are many other suppliers like Pelican, Vertex, Max-Speed etc etc but exchange will always be an issue. Even with Canadian dealers, the exchange will affect them as well so they'll just pass it on.

If your in no hurry, wait and buy in one shot to minimize shipping costs.

If you live near Niagara Falls, I use this service and stay overnight or two with the wife who does shopping to get the duty free import quota.

For consumables, rotors, pads, wiper blades ..... germanparts.ca has kept me out of the poor house.
Little leather panels, and cool accessories? Suncoast is one of the go to USA based sources. Going to be even worse when THE WALL goes up. No Sun, no Coast.

I've been buying in the US and using http://crossborderpickups.ca/ to bring it across the border.

i have found that my wholesale prices from Pfaff are cheaper (and less hassle) than Suncoast after you factor in Conversion, Fee's and Shipping and if needed a trip across the border for pick up

I go over constantly to pick up packages. I have never had to pay any duty if I keep it under 200bucks. It not a rule or anything , but I just dont think its worth the trouble at that amount so they leave me alone.

^ This. I normally buy from Suncoast, but right now it seems Pfaff and PCO have decent pricing when accounting for FX.

I get most of my stuff from Sunset Porsche and eBay. Although not in Canada, it still is cheaper.

If Autopartsway.ca has it, so does Rockauto.com.

Rockauto has more stock, and even after exchange, shipping and sometimes import fee, rockauto is always far less money. Front rotors and pads for my wife's M-B were almost $300 less from Rockauto. Timing belt, tensioner etc for my daughters Astra were $150 less.

Hi Gents,

My sincere apologies.



I will send more once I figure out how to use the RL app that keeps crashing on me.
