Default whats the best place to buy OEM parts...

I'm about to hit 90k, I need some parts, mainly timing belt kits. Any recommendation for parts? Irontoad.com has limited parts, and Sewell is still expensive IMO... thanks! Dealer quoted $1,300 sounds decent?

I've compared 6 things and found that this link (Lexus of Pembroke Pines) has the best prices.

Cheapest oil filter, a/c filter, engine air filter, hood support struts, and UL air suspension parts. Highly recommend!

Glad the link helped.

But save yourself TONS of money and get your hood support struts off ebay.

Carson Toyota has been good for me. They are an easy drive for me to pick the parts up.

Depending upon the part, for the more expensive replacement parts I always do a search on ebay first. I recently searched for a replacement radiator for the LS430 and the Lexus dealers wanted between $350-$400. I found an almost 100% feedback seller who sells a zillion aftermarket parts for our cars showing a new replacement radiator for $110 including shipping. The company making the parts got great reviews. It's a matter of how much time you want to spend to find the best deals from a reputable company.
