914World.com _ 914World Garage _ It pays to research and look for the best price on parts

For example, 914.512.041.11, the rear trunk latch.
On eBay, you'll find it for $169.95 and $14.20 shipping new.
Our local dealer Sunset will give it to you for a mere $118.10.
That's a savings of almost 36% on a new factory part.
Pays to do a little looking for sure.

That’s good to know. Does he also carry most 914 parts like the dealer too? If so, who is this human?

That person would be Garold. I purchased one. Looks brand new. I think he charged $45.
I also agree with checking with your local dealer. I buy a lot of small parts there. No shipping charge so I can buy a $3 part and it only cost $3, not $10. Shipping is usually overnight or 2 days. Porsche has a policy that you can return within 7 days for free. Since the dealership is 2 miles from work it’s a good option.
