radiator bolts = $3.xx each
pin/bolt that holds strut to hood = $18
little clip that goes on that pin to hold it in = $14

Wow, what a rip. As I'm going through the repairs, I'm making note of pieces that aren't genuine and just replacing them.

Which dealer? Just curious.
I’m in Calgary.

I'm in Calgary too - I've had some parts for my 911 engine rebuild that I could only get through Porsche and one of the benefits of ordering from the dealer was no shipping charges. So it's a balancing act. I will email them my list of part #s and they are quick to reply back with pricing. But yeah, only go there for parts only available from Porsche.

Not sure if either of you have seen my posts about main bearings but the dealer wanted 1100.00$ for mains back in 2016.
Won’t be buying those from them.
Trying to get a set has been next to impossible as I have had numerous online orders over the past few years cancelled due to no stock.
You lose money when orders get cancelled due to exchange rate fluctuations.
I have ripped visa a new one a few times over it.
