Default Discount OEM Parts Source

Who, currently, are the best (largest discount) OEM parts dealers? I do most of my own maintainence and repair work and need a current source to buy Genuine Lexus parts mail order. I buy my Acura/Honda parts from a dealer in New York, Ray Laks, that discounts all parts 25% or more from published list (not inflated list) and offers free shipping via Fedx and no sale tax for out of state customers! I'm looking for a similar sourse for Lexus parts. One of the "sponsers" listed on this site, Sewell Lexus offers a 10% discount to all club members which is almost a joke given the mark up that is applied. There must be some real discount suppliers out there that some of you have used.

Thanks in advance for your help. This is really a great community of helpful and knowledgable people that I'm proud to be part of.

Welcome to ClubLexus!

This has been discussed in the past few weeks, as I recall. I think the Sewell discount is an additional 10%, not just 10% off of list price. I personally have been using www.irontoad.com up in Pennsylvania, and my local Toyota dealer when I'm in a hurry. Irontoad is also a Lexus dealer. I think they're maybe 40% off of list, but list varies.

For those parts that are common to Toyotas (of which there are quite a few), it has been suggested that the local Toyota dealer can compete with the discounted Lexus mail-order price, and the mail-order Toyota sources can provide the best price.

There are a number of Lexus dealers who are CL sponsors offering discounts. JM Lexus in the West Palm area is probably nearest you, but Sewell in Dallas (PM Darrel & https://www.clublexus.com/forums/pri...o=newpm&u=8399 ) and Lexus of Glendale (CA) are good reputable dealers that can offer you a discount on parts and accessories. Check 'em out!

Iron Toad is selling me the "D" Drive Indicator bulbs for about $3.50. Local stealership wants $8.50.

I buy all my stuff from Iron Toad, they are very fast, reliable, and fairly priced.
