    Canadian Porsche Pricing

    Hi guys, I am in the middle of my '89 total rebuild and wanted (needed) to buy some original Porsche parts. I went to check on pricing with South Centre (with whom I have had a long and positive relationship) and found that the prices were very high, up to double what was available from the US. I went and asked and got a fairly frustrated answer, namely that Porsche Canada has split off from Porsche USA but they need to continue to source through Porsche USA as Porsche Canada does not have a warehouse and may never be able to afford to have one with only 12 or so dealers across the country. Porsche USA apparently charges Porsche Canada full price (no significant discounts) with the result that after markup to cover dealer costs, the price locally is outrageous. To give an example...a set of bearings is about $600 in the US (all in) and close to $1000 from South Centre. I know I can probably source most parts through the US, but it would be awfully handy to be able to buy original Porsche parts locally at a reasonably competitive price and avoid all the hassles of shipping etc. Is this a place where we can use PCA to lobby Porsche, Porsche USA and Porsche Canada to straighten this out? I don't think that we would be asking for anything unreasonable, just that there should be no material difference in parts prices on both sides of the border.... Thoughts? Dennis
