  1. I have a BMW and it is easy to get great prices on honest to God OEM parts. There are two I use all the time, Pelican and www.realoem.com. Their websites have complete exploded drawings (like the dealer has) so you can get any part you need. I'm having a hard time finding a similar resource for the 2006 RX 400h I just bought. There are a bunch of sites that have a small percentage of parts, but I'm looking for a place that has the entire inventory, but less expensive than the dealer.

    Here is the typical parts retailer I have found by searching:

    http://www.lexpartsonline.com/RX-400H-002_2006_parts.html

    Far from a complete inventory.

    Here is a typical page from realoem.com:

    http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...hg=41&fg=35

    Are there such resources for Lexus?

  2. we have had a week of snow here in seattle with none of it melting overnight as it usually does. my 400h came with the goodyears and i replaced them this fall with the oem michelins. i know they are not everyones favorite here but the improvement in snow handling was incredible. (yes i know the goodyears were the worst in snow with thier low profile) i drove hundreds of miles this last week up and down our hills and did not get stuck or feel out of control ( well out of control once,) of course in pc seattle the city refuses to use salt, only sand and some kind of dairy product (really) on the bus routes, however i was able to travel side roads as easily as the sanded arterials. just my two cents

    Ha, I just bought a 2006 RX-400h because of this snowstorm. I had a friend give me a lift because my BMW 325i was stuck in the snow. And the wife's SLK has been high and dry in our garage waiting this weather out. I fell in love with his RX, so I went out and bought one. Oh, well, it may not be the best AWD, but I think it will be OK for what passes for bad weather in Seattle.
