Walk into the dealership and go to the parts counter, however, and you'll get your head ripped off like every other stealership in the nation.

I think it depends on the dealership and whether or not they give a PCA discount. I routinely bought parts from Sonnen Porsche in Mill Vally because they would compete with Suncoast and Sunset on parts. When I bought my ROW suspension Suncoast wanted $1160+$50 to ship. Sonnen got it for me for $960 and with local tax I saved $80. Many Porsche owners shy away from local dealers because they think they will always gouge them but developing a good relationship with a dealer and using them as another resource for parts and maintenance is not always a bad thing, at the most it will cost you a phone call to check prices.
