They have a new parts site and are still loading all the parts. Suggest you just call them.

I think you underestimate how lazy people are. I was looking for some prices on their website and I just decided to go with Carson instead, since they have a website that ACTUALLY WORKS.

I don't understand why these dealerships can't just have a parts catalog similar to RockAuto.com's website. That site is very easy to use.

Is there a discount code that's required?

We're adding the hard parts just as fast as we can - promise. Many of these are already up and running, but we still have another 120 models to go (Model, Year = 1). The site unfortunately was opened to the public a few months before I would have liked thus the reason some of you are upset. You're welcome to call us (our phone number is really, really big on the home page). Or, you can simply email us should their be any hard to find parts. Sorry for the delay guys - we're trying!

No, we you guys never lost the discount - we just changed the procedure a bit, it's all automatic!

For pricing specific to Club Lexus members you will want to register your account while inputting your Club Lexus forum name when it prompts you to do so during the registration. Once you’re registered as a CL member, you’ll find preferred pricing is available for each item. This is the best way we knew how to convey the preferred pricing specific to those actively participating in the forums.
