I have used them a few times with good results.

In one case, I bought a component, got a good price. When it arrived, they had sent the entire assembly. I used the part I needed and sold the rest of the assembly for about 70% of the price I paid LA Porsche. Also had 1 return and they were easy to deal with.

May seem pricey at first, but they will haggle with you, which of course depends on your haggling abilities.

I'll use them again when the need arises.

I bought my 3.4 from them and they were solid. They delivered it all the way to san diego. When they took it off their truck they bumped the oil pump cover with their fork lift and cracked it.

They sent a new one the next day

Highly recommend

OK OK OK

I will put the price up after I order it. I am getting a 2000 3.4 with 27k on it. I will update you all later on this after noon. Thanks for the help with making my decision. I do value all of your comments.

Here is a photo of the 3.4 from LA Porsche. I can't wait to get it in my garage. I have other photos of the engine if anyone else would like it.

I will definatley do as detailed of a write up as possible with photos and video. I do not think that there will be much to show or tell though. I am going to be following Todd's write up on this one. It seems to be pretty straight foward with a few exceptions.
