Most Overpriced Part?

[BoxsterLS376]

Everything Porsche is overpriced if it is a dealer only item, only way price comes down is if aftermarket companies get involved...

I've seen a lot of horribly over priced things but a few that come to mind...

2002 Porsche 996 convertible ABS pump - $4400 shipped. because Bosch doesn't make available the $30 sensor that was bad on it.

Porsche 993 convertible door seals... the little ones that go behind the windows and attach to the convertible top, yeah those little guys are about $450 each from Porsche~

Wheel bearings can be bought for about $5-$7 each and retail for over $70 each.

Many axles are available out there which cost less then $70-80, retail is like $900 each~


If you think that stuff is over priced try getting some early 911 S stuff or basic early 65 parts... A good set of Solex carburetors from a 65-66 911 will cost in excess of $10,000. I had a customer who just paid over $35,000 for a fresh/restored 1967 911 S motor~ YIKES!
