Sewell Lexus don't have the whole water pump + timing belt etc package for 3GS, so i don't know where to get it.

Found these on ebay, anyone tried it before ? OEM Toyota parts link OR Mitsoboshi/Aisin/Koyo/Bando parts.

Haven't needed this. But I looked at the links you provided. It looks legit. Even says some of the parts are OE. I guess you could give it a try and if it turns out to be bogus, you should be able to get your money back from ebay or your credit card company. All that will cost you is time. How much of a savings is the ebay offering over what Sewell charges?

I've used Sewell Lexus its the best choice for Genuine Lexus parts, and at a good price.

I wouldn't use an aftermarket water pump, there is a difference between oe quality and oem quality, i had customers bring in aftermarket pumps to me just to have it fail prematurely due to improperly bearing and seals.

The first links looks good with the oem belt and gaskets, but i would check with the local dealer to verify it does fit your car and to verify the part number is good(sometimes the part # supercedes due to a redesign or upgraded parts)

this at sewell actually includes the timing belt already, usually i would just do the timing belt and water pump, haven't really seen any idler or tensioners wear out

why don't you call sewell lexus, get a quote, and place a custom order with them? i can't see sewell lexus not being able to order the part in for you if you're willing to pay for it...

sewell used to hv 90k package service for 2gs, so i thought they have it for 3gs too, but i just cant find it in their website so i thought someone can point the right page to me.i guess i have to contact them directly

mikeyy, yeah saw that page but it doesnt hv waterpump in the kit.

It is a good idea to change the pump at 90k but not needed. I have 111,000 miles on my car and doing all the normal maintenance myself. It never states in any of my service manuals that the water pump needs to be changed so I haven't done it. Usually when the weep hole will start to leak and then of course change it then. My Acura TL said to change the pump when changing the timing belt and tensioner. I feel it's good insurance to change it but none of my paperwork about service states that it needs to be changed.

BTW Sewell Lexus is the only way to go when buying oem parts. They are the best!
