I've been scouring the web trying to find sources for parts - ideally I'd prefer to buy new rather than used.

I've bought things from the local Porsche dealer, and I've found a few websites like Rose Passion and Heritage Parts Centre, but where else can I look for 928 parts? I've looked at eBay but they tend to be used parts.

Thanks!

You've already mentioned my favourite 'local' places — OPCs and Rose Passion (though Brexit will have made latter a more painful and inconvenient experience).

I've had great experiences with all three main US 928 parts suppliers. There's no UK or European equivalent:

928 International
928s R Us (Roger Tyson)
928 Specialists

also some tools/parts from 928 Motorsports (Carl Fausset).

At one time Porsche were selling parts in US for literally 25% of price here so there were huge savings, though they have since evened out some of price disparity.

Shipping costs from states was minor and reasonable next to orders I usually place. There was either zero import duty on car parts or maybe 2.5% on some categories - not sure I was ever charged that on many orders.

For a 928 owner it’s just brilliant to work with suppliers who sell 928 bits exclusively, as such they occasionally run special offers on certain parts, or arrange remanufacture of parts where Porsche has multiplied price after review (eg fuel dampers and regulators recently).
