You thought 944 parts were expensive...

Just a random sampling - I'm listing MSRP

Brake Caliper, Rear: $3991.88
Brake Rotor: $7342.99
Brake Pad Wear Sensor: $82.99
Coolant Expansion Tank: $570.28

[ae1969]

UHmmmm makes you wonder if the labor cost still surpasses the parts prices when fixing one of those..........

[bryanthompson]

Wow, that's amazing. AF, would you work on one if you were given the chance? If so, you have to take pictures!!

No damn wonder Porsche is profitable. Like P.T. Barnum once said "There is a sucker born every minute...and two to take him..."

Thats about what I paid for my 944. Yikes.

My girlfriend works customer service at a porsche dealer. She gets a discount on parts, she pays dealer cost + 10%. List price vs. her price is usually between a 60 to 100% markup.

so you get a blow job with these right? or do they just give you some KY before you bend over?

I was in Phoenix several months ago and visited a Porsche dealership. A damaged C-GT was in the shop (right next to a 944). The parts department was quite happy because their volume was going to be far above expectations for the month!

[PhillysMostWntd]

and just think how much it would be if they needed an engine overhaul

[Panzer909]

True, but the brake rotors and exhaust system were the exact same parts as a early-model VW Rabbit (the only thing different are the part numbers).
