Are parts going to get harder to come by

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.

You're lucky you have many Porsche dealerships within a small area competing with each other. Where I live, there is only one Porsche dealership within 120 miles, and they routinely charge 5-10% over full retail price for everything. No discounts, no budging on price. You don't like it, they firmly tell you to leave.
