mikez Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Can you please supply the names addresses and or websites of any dealers that discount parts mail order? Who offers the best discount and shipping terms?
monarch Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Lexus V6 models such as the ES and RX - share many parts, filters, etc with Toyota V6 models such as the Camry and Highlander. And Lexus V8 models share some parts with Toyota V8 models. So if you can find equivalent genuine Toyota parts at a Toyota dealer, you'll save alot of money. Best of all are some mail order Toyota dealers like 1sttoyotaparts.com sell all genuine Parts for 28% retail Toyota dealer prices. Here's an example of potential savings: 1990 - 1997 Lexus LS400 V8 engine valve adjusting shim. Lexus dealer retail price: about $12.50 Discount online Lexus dealer price: about $10.00 Toyota dealer retail price: about $7.50 Online discount Toyota dealer price: about $5.40 Maximum potential savings: about 58% In order to learn which parts are shared by Toyota and Lexus models one has to become familiar with the respective part numbers. One inexpensive although somewhat tedious way of doing this is to purchase a Toyota Parts Catalog on microfiche slides for your RX300 and a Toyota Highlander on ebay and then either buying a microfiche slide reader on ebay or going to your local library to use their reader. OR you may have some luck matching part numbers using the electronic Toyota and Lexus parts catalogs that are found on some Toyota and Lexus dealer websites.
bubba_br549 Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 irontoad.comnewlexusparts.com ← newlexusparts.com is Park Place Lexus dealership in Plano, Texas. If you are in the DFW (Dallas - Ft. Worth) area, you can place an order and then pickup the parts at their parts service desk. If not in the area they offer free UPS ground shipping. I have saved 30-40% off of retail price on lexus parts using this site!!! :D
Gryphon Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 I'm new here with a recently purchased RX400h. Are there any updates to the discount dealers listed? Tom in Arizona
