A 50% discount from what figure

Dealer's asking price for new part
Dealer's discounted to PCA members price for new part
Online order new Porsche part
Online new OEM part which is often 40-50% less than the highest of the above for OS sensors and MAFs

So I'd have to get the part for 20% of list for it to be worth the risk. And I love to take risks but only ones that are liable to pay off and after going to the trouble of buying, storing, maybe using, installing and then finding it bad it would have to be a great deal. Not being sure how long you are going to keep the car makes this a really chancy idea. Crash it and you wasted your $. Blow an engine or trans and you may have if you decide to junk it or part it out.

IMHO, YMMV
