Where To Get A Replacement Jack

[nomoon]

I just bought a used 2002 ES300 that is missing the jack. The various tools in the kit are in the trunk, but the jack itself is missing.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a replacement? Is it worth getting one from a Lexus dealer? It would be nice to have one that fits exactly in the toolkit. I guessing that I might be able to save some money by buying one from a local parts store, but it might flop around in the trunk if it doesn't fit in the tool kit.

Also, how hard is it to find a generic (non-Lexus) jack that will work for this car? I've heard that some cars are oddly shaped and that not just any jack will work with it. What weight rating should I look for?

Update:

A replacement jack from my local Lexus dealer is $125.81

A 1.5 ton scissor jack from Autozone is $24.99

Thanks in advance!

go to a local salvage yard and see if you find any 02-06 ES's there. At least the jack will definately fit in the designed spot in the trunk and it won't be $125.

I thought that I was the only one. :P

My 2002 didn't have a jack, but had everything else. I'll probably end up getting an Auto Zone one.

i think the jack from a same year camry would also fit... there are bound to be more than a few wrecked camry's being parted out.

I managed to get the original jack! Thanks for the replies!
