Boxsum Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Why is this priced like this at 9 apart when it’s £160+ vat from Porsche for what I can make out is the same product number ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Unless it is the rare short shift part but then I'd expect that to be plastered over the listing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it shows the same part no.99742401000 Maybe they have listed it wrong? Edited February 3, 2023 by Boxsum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GmanB Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Probably Design911 ebay account or similar, that's all they do with Porsche parts, buy low, sell high. 50% markup on branded products is not uncommon, especially when the brand is out of stock. Do OPC have any in stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulQ Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Different company. They are £430 on D911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 I have found a couple of time that 9aprt have been cheaper by a small amount on an OE part but very rare. OPC is your best bet normally f genuine Porsche parts and you'll usually get 10% off if you ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T911UK Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) OPC price is £244.64 plus VAT Its a group 2 part so 9apart will get 10% maybe 12% Ebay will take 20% Basically they will make about a tenner on it!

That’s interesting where did you get that price ? My local Porsche Centre gave me these prices Maybe I was given special treatment as I did turn up in a different car to the 986? It would make sense as when I went there the first time in the 986 they practically ignored me but the second time I turned up to collect some parts and arrived in one of my other cars they couldn’t of done more for me 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GmanB Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Your 160+vat (192) isn't too far away from 220. I'm sure some OPC prices will vary from centre to centre. They are there to make money and bleed everyone dry if they can. After all, they are part of VAG, one of the world largest car companies.
