Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I think I've read about a few of you picking up parts from salvage yards. My passenger side seat switch died and I'm reluctant to drop $300 on a new switch from the dealer. Are these sorts of things readily available at most salvage yards? I remember picking up parts for '65 VW back in the day, but somehow it seems weird to find a modern day part there...
Try these guys http://www.dcauto.com/ -Manil
Here is another one. http://www.germanautodismantlers.com/index.html
Thanks for the links so far. Manil, that site had a great list of parts. Unfortunately they want more than Suncoast does for them! I'm sure it depends on the part, but it was still wacky! Tim, another great site, but didn't find what I was looking for... Keep them coming...Has anyone gone and pulled their own parts for 996s?
To answer your question, last statement...I would pull my own part for a 996, wouldn't you?(now I sound like Tim!)
Try OklahomaForeign.com. They are exclusive to Porsche and have been reasonable with me.
http://www.ladismantler.com/ or http://www.911pcar.com/ same company
FWIW, LA Dismantler is very expensive, and I was not pleased the one time I used them.
I've seen these guys ad in Excellence: www.nineapart.com and these guys for motor parts www.partsheaven.com This might end up as a nice little collection of resources.....
