Default Where is the best place to buy parts?

I'm looking to get a steering wheel tilt motor for my '04 LS and wanted to know where the best place to get an OEM part?

My two favorites listed above. eBay and Amazon here and there too.

No, but their online price was often cheaper then with the old discount. There is also Lexus parts now I think. Another vendor on here has been offering some good discounts.

So far it looks like eBay might be the cheapest by about $25. Sure wish Sewell was still selling online.

I just bought some ventilation hoses from Atlanta and while it did take a while to get used to the site, I was able to find the parts and the part numbers I needed. I think their information is more detailed than Sewell which may make it seem more complicated. I actually called the parts dept. to order, but they won't order and ship, you have to use the parts site.

We use Rock Auto and like it but you have to be careful selecting parts - their cheaper line of non OEM parts can be very "generic" made in China stuff. Parts will work and look OK as long as you don't look too close but I would not put the cheap stuff on my Lexus.

I negotiated a discount with my local Lexus parts manager (typically 20 - 30%). I email what I need. Parts are ready for pick-up next day, even on Saturdays. No special shipping charges. I compare my out-the-door cost (with tax) to online prices with shipping, and my local dealer usually is best price, and I always receive the parts next day, which can be a huge advantage.
