I'm a little hesitant to run to the dealership for this, since parts will run me about $1900.

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

Hi guys! I'm new here, just bought a 986 Base Tiptronic (for less than $2000
) I got it non-running and had to slap a used tiptronic unit in there, but that's a different story.
My CV axles started clicking, are there any aftermarket replacement options? I'm a little hesitant to run to the dealership for this, since parts will run me about $1900. Yikes.
I'm not opposed to rebuilding the CV joints either, I just need to find the parts! Everything out there seems to be either for the manual tranny or the Boxster S. The part number that I have is 986.332.024.08.
What are my options?
You're not looking very hard.

Enigma, those things? I use them to hold the wheels on my parts cars. I thought they were laying around in everyone's yard.
How much money are we talking? I think shipping alone was almost $40 when I sent Audi axles out a while back.
I think this one shows a different part number, but should work:

I've bought from that seller before with no issues.

Thanks for the help everyone! I wanted to avoid used parts. Turns out the only people offering new axle assemblies are from Stuttgart 🙄
I found the inner cv joint from GKN, and plan on slapping them onto the axles I have right now.
80 bucks later and the axles will be pretty much new. I hope I don’t get TOO much grease all over the place.
I just went through this with my wife's car, parts Avatar assured me twice that the parts they listed were correct for the car and they were not.
Trackmotive part number VW-86001 fits a 2000 base tip Boxster and is only ~249 CAD ea at the time of this posting found at wrenchmonkey.
Thank goodness on the third try this ****************e is correct.
