Good guys but they didn't have much of a selection (996-stuff) when I called about two years ago...... I was also hoping to get the "good guy deal" because we used to refer people there on a daily basis but I didn't feel like I was treated like a "good-guy".......

Its been my experience that used 996 parts are almost the price of some of your new discount dealer prices. As for a "good guy deal".....I hear what you are saying, but Porsche parts will always carry a premium.........new or used!

Well, no luck finding a used tranny. Had to go through a dealer, ended up being $9,800 for tranny and install.

I wanted a CDR-220 CD player for my Boxster, it had an older CDR-210. I called and asked if they had them and for how much. They say yes we have them, in stock, for $350. I say ok...I'll be by to pick one up. I get there wait like 45 minutes because the guy that needs to get the part is out to lunch. He gets back and tries to sell me everything BUT a CD player. A new TT front end for my Boxster, various seats, steering wheels, wheels, Then I ask him AGAIN about the CDR-220..Yeah we got them...he goes in the back, comes back with PICTURES of Boxsters with the TT front end, and still goes on about other parts...I pull out my cash and say, look I need to get going, just give me the CDR-220...He goes, oh..you want it NOW? I gotta pull it out of this car and I dont have anyone to cover the front for me....I was the only guy in there for like an hour, plus it takes 10 mintues to pull a cd player...he says leave me your name and number and I'll call you in a few hours. I told him, I'd pick it up on my way home from work TAHT DAY...NEVER got a call back....There is something SHADY about that place.
