People with the parts are charging a major premium to sell those parts. Is this correct??

Parts are very easy to obtain and we have excellent specific 928 vendors. Most parts re Porsche parts direct from Germany. We have 928 International (CA), 928 Specialists (NC), 928s-R-Us (TX), 928 motorsports, and a slew of other sources. Pelican is also a good supplier, but I (and most other 928 guys I know) stick to the primary 928 vendors because service is fast and they always know if the part is the correct part for the application. I have had very few instances over 10 year plus of having trouble sourcing parts. New parts are still not a problem, but I suppose may become more so in the future. I never order (or service) through a dealer. They know the least about these cars, and charge the most. The regular 928 specific vendor prices are not bad at all, and no premiums are charged. And there are plenty of used parts, with warranties, from some of these vendors too.
