Ebay and Porsche parts... big time rip-off!

Well, if you look for bargains of all sorts, usually ebay is the first - and today sometimes the only - source. If you are looking for Porsche parts - Watch out! Just a few examples:

the rubber ring on the rear lock, part number 477 827 529 A:

ebay price: between 6,90€ incl. shipping  and 13,89€  + 18,29€ shipping from the UK!
Porsche Zentrum Essen: 1,70€ + tax = 2,02€

gasket under rear view mirror, part number 945 731 506 01:

ebay price: between 12,00€ + 2,20€ shipping for a used part!  and new 26,16€ incl. shipping from the UK!
Porsche Zentrum Essen: 3,38€ + tax = 4,02€

... one more example:
the rear hatch lock rubber, part number 944 512 365 01:

ebay: no matches found - pelican parts in the US: 61 $
Porsche Zentrum Essen:  36,19€ + tax =  43,07€

So, it is always worth to check Porsche first! Today we also got a little freebee:
a small chocolate bite for Toby and myself!

I ordered the parts yesterday and picked everything up today - top service!


Even though + 100 € for some rubber seals is not exactly cheap - but compared to the classic VW part prices of today, the quick delivery and the fact that all parts are genuine Porsche - I am happy!

Enjoy your weekend!
