Used Parts

[xavi.ordonez]

Where is the best place to get used PORSCHE parts? I'm looking for a Door Lock Mechanism for a 97 Boxster.

IMO Oklahoma foreign is good. I have bought used parts from them.

I think that the door lock mechanism for the 97 Boxster interchanges with one from the VW Passat PN. 3B1837015E

I'll keep everyone posted on this one specially since Porsche wants $400 and VW wants $150

I'm happy to inform you that I was right. The door lock mechanism for 97 boxster and 00 01 Passat are the same. Just finished the installation and I saved $$$$. I was able to pick up a used one for $45 bucks. If you want it new it's 150 from VW. any questions on the Tumbler feel free to ask.

Take a look at the sponsor of this website first. Usually you can buy the part new for not very much more than used.

I second Sunset -- as well as OKF.

Not all parts that you can get used are even reasonably priced new.

For example -- try to buy a wiring harness -- it'll be 5-10x new.
