    I just ordered from these people and found prices to be very competitive.

    Toyota Parts - ToyotaPartsCenter.net

    The service rep was very professional and helpful on the phone.

    I learned the hard way that I will never do business with www.parts.com or any other website that will not post thier location or phone number.

    thanks..
    any coupons for free shipping or something?

    any other website?


    it is such a piss off to buy couple clips for 3$ each
    need whole bunch of clips for my fender liners in front and under engine cover and top engine cover..
    where is the cheapest place to get those?

    I am thinking less than 1$ makes more sense for such a small plastic piece
    I saw some toyota clips on ebay but nowt sure what part # I need.

    I don't know about "cheapest" but Champion Toyota - Houston is where I buy my parts and they have always provided excellent service, accurate fulfillment, and speedy delivery.

    Regarding the minimum shipping fees, you are right that you need to buy sufficient parts or else it is not worthwhile. If you just need a small qty, buy from your local dealer.

    I usually will order at least $150 worth of parts at a time. Stock up on oil/air filters, wiper refills, iridium spark plugs, serpentine belt, etc. Since your car is 5 years old, you might need to replace the struts/shocks soon, who knows.

    I'm currently buying synthetic oil from Walmart since they've recently had some good promotions.

    I buy the Toyota brand oil filter and wiper blade refills from Champion Toyota. They sell a case of 10 filters for $32.90 plus shipping.
    Champion ToyotaWorld

    In general it would not make sense to buy fluids via weborder because of the high shipping cost (if the dealer will even ship them, doubtful due to hazardous chemical issues.)

    which one fits prius?
    (2005)



    and yes 1sttoyotaparts.com looks like the cheapest so far again the shipping is a killer. but good saving.
    I can not believe non of the local dealers go under the msrp price.

    anyone know a cheap parts dealer in New york?

    I ran into parts.com and jumped on their prices. I am hoping all works out well. After I didn't get any email saying it was shipped I tried emailing them and got no response. Then i tried again demanding a phone number (after discovering their bad rep), and did get a toyota dealers number that I contacted and he shipped all the parts.

    Keeping my fingers crosses that all works out okay.
