PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR SOURCE, I'M IN!!!
Last time I called Sunset Porsche in Oregon, that was the price I was quoted for NIB Fuchs. That was a couple of years ago, and I know there has been about a 30-40% price increase in the last few years across the board on all Porsche parts, so I called them just now to check. The current price is $1142.93 for a brand new 9 x 16" Fuchs. Sorry to get you excited with outdated information, but I still would contend that this new production sets an upper price limit for an older pair at about $2K max if they are perfectly refinished, since brand new would be < $2300/pair. I don't see the market continuing to skyrocket like it was back in the 90s and early 2000s as long as these are available new again.
