Default F-Sport intake from eBay seller recommendation?

Has anyone bought an F-Sport intake from eBay? If so, can someone recommend a seller? I'm always a bit weary about buying OEM parts from eBay, but this seems to be a great deal.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

I just purchased one from ebay, check out my thread:

If they have great feedback AND they post the item as new/oem then I don't see why not...

I would never buy from ebay

Check out the CL spondored vendors, they got group buys all the time.

for example

Since they are a Lexus dealer I would not worry.

Remember to use the Microsoft Live Search Cashback to make it $245.

Get it from L-tunedparts.com... please have some love towards good stores and stop buying from strangers on fleabay. I am sure L-tunedparts.com has competitive price too.

With the MS Cashback thing there's really no way anyone selling direct can have competitive pricing...unless they sell their stuff on ebay.

I paid $210 for my F-sport intake with the 30% off cashback going at the time... From a genuine lexus dealer too...I love Sewell but no way they'll be able to sell it close to that cheap to me via their own website.

Yep, but it was 30% on Monday. Just wait till it goes back up or just get the 25 off. Like Kurtz said, no one can beat that price.

Maybe the bought it from a Sewell GB.

Seriously, you can easily check the info in that ad and see it's from a different dealership.
