poneyboy Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 Does anyone have a good idea of which parts are best purchased from Lexus or Toyota vs. Autozone etc.? Or is it just that any part from Lexus is going to cost 200% - 400% more than the equivalent 3rd party item? As an example, is there any reason to spend $70 on the brake pads for my '93 ES300? The most I can spend on brake pads at a parts store is $50, but the average is around $20. Or how about $650 for a replacement radiator vs. $230 for the 3rd party? What's going on here? I mean really...
SKperformance Posted July 29, 2003 Posted July 29, 2003 toyota parts are worth there money think of most aftermarket parts as ford parts they are not up to par and below standards for a good reliable ,long lasting part you can get cheaper one but you definatly get what you pay for
NeiLtYmE Posted July 29, 2003 Posted July 29, 2003 getting a radiator from 3rd party .. such as autozone... is recomennded as it will be thicker and more effective..as well as cheaper..! The aftermarket world is huge... True.. most cant compare to toyota... but certain performance products/ parts do a much better job and last alot longer.
