Not sure about the US but in Europe Porsche seems to have but their prices up CIRCA 20% +, a simple example is 1 996 TT (not a pair) drivers side rear tail light $460 ? Last time I thought one I am sure it was circa $250 or less. Now its like ringing up Ferrari

 

In fact I'm not sure ANYTHING Porsche offers is value for money anymore, (maybe apart from a Gayman S), at least with Ferrari, its not all plastic

 

Nobody any further comments on this, its a pretty big subject which potentially affects us all

 

I've had recent issues with my cooling system and was shopping for radiators. I think the dealer gets close to, if not over $500 a radiator that the aftermarket seems to get closer to $400, maybe $425. I jjst assumed that was normal dealer gauging...

 

Whatever man, if you ever owned a Ferrari you would probably not say something so stupid. Yes, most of the parts are Aluminum, but you pay like 5-10 times the price of a Porsche part for ANYTHING on a Ferrari, even if it is that piece of plastic...

I've heard rumors that BMW has also had a major price hike.

In tough economic times, when people are not buying new but rather fixing old, doesn't it make perfect [business] sense?

Why would you assume he didnt own a ferrari? Or is this by-default conversation that we're having here?

 

I have 2 Ferrari's

 

So why are you sweating a measly 20% price hike on Porsche parts!?!

(Couldn't resist)

Cos I want a 3rd Ferrari of course !!!

 

Gert at Carnewal who deals in Porsche Parts confirms a massive parts price hike, just wait until you need some and you'll see the reality, less new car sales = plan B higher parts revenues

"Some prices doubled or even tripled since February.
And as from June, the prices increase again with roughly 4%".
They want to raise extra profit with the spare parts.

 

Is what it is... I am about to order two new fender liners, that last year cost me about $85 each... So this year they'll cost me $110-120 each? Hey, as long as Porsche doesn't end up like Chevy and Dodge, I'll be HAPPY to pay it...

And I'm with the other guys... If you own a Porsche, don't expect to buy tune-up parts at Walmart.

yep i swear i paid $300.00 OR SO FOR A FRONT LIP SOME 3 YEARSago now they want $400.00 something, three years ago i would have paid the $400.00 but now i'll' live with the scratch, just have to keep my speed up past a 100 so no one will see it(now that an excuse they haven't heard)

 

Yeah but its sneaky and kinda crappy that they impose such massive price hikes on us, we need to PROTEST !

 

How do you propose this? Don't buy the parts you want or need to instal on your car?

Did you "protest" when we were paying $4+ per gallon of gas?

I think it boils down to either you can afford to keep pace, or choose not to maintain your car at the current level...
