Default Where to buy interior parts? ('94 ES300)

Greetings, all -

I just picked up a '94 ES300 in superb shape. New timing belt and brakes last year, new A/C hoses this year. Body paint is faded (typical Florida car), but an excellent deal for $1600.

The question is, is there an online store that sells interior parts? I'm specifically looking for the blank plate that fits into the console where one of the seat heater switches goes (if installed), and the fastener part of the seat belt that slides over the strap. It apparently got caught in the door and the top part is snapped off, allowing it to slide all the way down beside the seat, kinda pesky.

I'd normally view these as "dealer-only items", but I'm a zillion miles from the nearest dealer, hence my query.

Also, does anyone know where I can download the owner's manual? The Lexus site has the full range of manuals but they're broken up into sections, not the whole thing.

Thanks much,
Joe

Go to http://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/my-lexus/home.do, register, add your VIN number, and they will send you an owner's manual.

Congrats on your new Lexus, you'll love it I'm sure. If you just want a digital copy of the manual you can download it here:

https://secure.drivers.lexus.com/lex...nual-search.do

Also, here is a site where you can get OEM parts directly from Lexus.

http://www.lexuspartsnow.com/

For the small parts you need it shouldn't be too expensive, but for bigger stuff it's a much better deal to go to a junkyard.

Thanks for the link to the manual, but it's the same one I mentioned up above. Why they don't offer the entire manual in one file is anybody's guess.

As for the parts link, thanks, I'll give it a try.

The part # for the Seat Heater hole cover is 55539-12120-C0, you have to specify what color you need when you order.

Also be sure to check http://www.toyotapartszone.com/ they are owned by the same company and many of the Lexus parts are the same # as the toyota # just cheaper! It would have to be a shared part obviously.

Thanks for nailing down such an obscure item. As JSM says below, there appears to be a bunch of crossover with Toyota specifically, and this appears to be one. A Google search for the number popped up all kinds of sites. The next step is to find one with free shipping. $12 UPS for a $5 item that weighs almost nothing? It'd cost 88 cents if they just mailed the dang thing.

Thanks again,
Joe
