Gonna do the rear one first as it's the cheapest and easiest one to do. Then take it to my mechanic to do the front ones. $100 to do both. Not bad I guess.

The correct part number 12361-50101 is $254 each from dealer wow.

Wow is right. I checked my notes, and I paid $92.67 each from Park Place Texas back in 2008.
I've seen on other old cars where the manufacturer (e.g., Lexus / Toyota here) just stops having parts built, maybe after a final batch is ordered. Then they just keep raising the price to make sure that final supply lasts forever. And very rarely, if the market changes, another batch will be made and prices come back to a more reasonable number. That's what you get with old cars like this.

I think I paid around $115 per mount plus shipping from Japan from Amayama a few years ago.
Lexus engine mounts are liquid filled, strut bar bushing too. Most aftermarket engine mounts are not liquid filled and don’t even come close in quality...

Lol I wonder how these are http://www.rocar-usa.com/product.php...oducts_id=1030
Those words MIGHT lead one to believe you learned the lesson the first time.
