I was looking into GT2/3 front uprights hoping to find a deal and found them to be more expensive than new!?!? I don't have much experience with them and am curious if they are any good?

 

their a rip; its not uncommon for them to overcharge...

 

Bought a front differential. Was satisfied with part and service.

 

i tend to not even bother looking at their parts for sale on ebay as there just way too overpriced. That being said, i am not aware of any other porsche salvage yard.

ebay is a good place to find parts

 

got seats from them, no problem.

 

Better prices at Suncoast Porsche.

 

Read their documents and ads very carefully and narrowly interpret what they represent.

They make it sound like they use white gloves and carefully inspect and remove parts, ensuring that only the best get to you...until there is an issue, then it is "hey, we're a junk yard, whaddaya expect?"

Well, unless you are overseas, then it's worse.....

Just based on two contacts and their reputation.

 

Bought my Milltek from them and it was as advertised. Hey it's a used muffler, it's going to show it's wear. Still performs well and passes CA Smog. I'd go back.

 

their stuff looks pretty beat up to me. if you are getting something that is hidden like muffle, then it may be fine if it's scratched or even have a dent.

 

The only issue I have with them is that they usually want 75% of retail new. NOT junkyard pricing IMO. Like some have said it is possible to get better deals from Sunset or Suncoast on some NEW parts. Seems wacky right?

 

I bought a toolkit from them. Took two weeks for shipping and some of the tools had corrosion on them.

Ah well, I won't be buying from them again.

 

I haven't looked at these guys in a while but you could try Oklahoma Foreign. LAD is too expensive usually. When I use to look for parts on eBay I wished there was a way to block the view of certain vendors with them at the top of the list.

 

My one and only experience with them. I called and asked for a quote on a part. I was quoted a good price that was about half of new. When I called back a day latter to order I was told the quote was no good. The revised quote was more than a new part quoted by Sunset.

 

I had several "fine" experiences with them. The parts were used, and as described. I did expect better for the price paid, however.

A little expensive for used parts but they are honest about condition. I'd use them again for the right part.
