Default Where do you buy your parts?

My 93 LS 400 seatback is broken and I need a replacement part - 72501-30050

Unfortunately, there aren't any on ebay, and my local Lexus dealer quoted me $50, so I hit the internet and found this one for $24+shipping at LexusPartsNow.com
http://www.lexuspartsnow.com/parts/l...501-30050.html

Do any of you have experience with this company? If not, where do you buy your online parts?

Thanks

Yes - Lexus Parts Now is fine, they buy from whatever authorized Lexus dealership will give them the best deal and the fastest - I have used them many times - other dealerships that are actually Lexus dealers can be a day or so faster in some cases:

example prices on part# 89422-20010 Engine Coolant Temp Sensor before shipping:

Lexus Parts Now - $50.39
Toyota Parts Zone - $49.11
Lexus of South Atlanta - $51.27
Riverview Toyota/Lexus - Phoenix - $56.35
Park Place Lexus - Dallas - $52.22
Sewell Lexus - Dallas - $49.11 w/ CL discount
Carson Toyota - Los Angeles - $50.31
Olathe Toyota - Olathe, Kansas - $50.21
Mechanicsville Toyota - Mechanicsville, VA - $50.21

ebay seller oeparts - $41.05 with free shipping
ebay seller genuinepartswh - $49.24 with free shipping



example part# 12371-50060 - transmission mount before shipping:

Lexus Parts Now - $40.77
Toyota Parts Zone - N/A
Lexus of South Atlanta - $36.22
Riverview Toyota/Lexus - Phoenix - $46.04

sewell is best for large orders so you can save on suhipping, and you can get a discount by being from club lexus!

if you want small things i simply go to my local dealership and show them the sewell price and see if they can match. they usually do or get close to it minus the shipping price from sewell.

sometimes! - but not always - note the two examples above - one part ebay puts a whoopin on them and on the tranny mount, Lexus of South Atlanta wins - Sewell is consistently one of the cheaper sources with our discount, however, and they have very nice parts diagrams!
