Eh, IMO it's still a loss as they were good to us and they were one more option that is now gone. But thank you for the Trade Motion site. Just need to know part numbers before you browse as it's not the most intuitive website...

Are they priced comparatively to Sewell's CL discounted maintenance items like filters/plugs/fluids?

A free shipping code would be nice so I can order the sway bar kit.

Do we have to register to see a different price? (like Sewell)

And like others have said, Sewell's site is by far the best one I've ever come across. User friendly, amazing layout and super easy to search for parts. Damn, I'll miss that site

Yeah http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...82&catalogid=0 wants $44 for Handling & $5 for shipping on a part that weighs 2lbs. and it fits in a box the size of a sliced bread sandwich...so comparing this to Sewell...Sewell was def cheaper hands down.

Yep. I couldn't agree more.
Sad day indeed.

That seems fishy to me because it violates the very core of a free market economy and the laws to enforce it....I am no expert, but it smells funny to me...

Going to miss Sewell.
Maybe another Lexus dealer will come in to play now.

For the heck of it,I priced a stock wheel and the cost was $9 cheaper than Sewell with CL discount.
However,I had to fill out the whole form including CC# to get the shipping for some reason which I didn't want to do.
After reading your post,I got to believe the shipping /handling cost will be higher.
What's with the handling charge?

When I got the email last night, I was just as surprised and saddened as all of you. Will definitely miss Sewell!

Sewell has been the reason I was able to get my Lexus OEM parts to maintain my vehicle.
Now I will probably have to resort to Autozone , beck arnley stuff for some items.

But in the past, I had came across this lexus of Atlanta website which is a few dollars more than the CL discount'd sewell price.

I'm not affiliated obviously, the website is
http://www.lexussouthatlantaparts.com/

any feedback?


I live in California and going to any dealer in town is going to be trouble, they charge about 200% of what you found online or usually 150% MSRP.

That really sucks... I know many of us purchase a lot from there because of the extra discounts... I hope they honor the discount under Sewell.com/OrderParts

MyLparts will blow those shipping prices away. Most of my orders they ship to me for free. The most I have ever paid for shipping from them is like $10.
