My numbers reflect what Pelican offers the parts for.

There can be huge differences in price between between OEM parts and OEM parts with Porsche stamped on the box. The most outrageous example I've seen is the AC housing including the evaporator: OEM is about $625; OEM from Porsche is between $1300 and $1800 depending on what dealershp you're talking to.

So it not a big surprise that your indie quoted $3700 if he's charging you top dollar for parts.
