OEM online parts source

[wm69]

Anybody got a good place to get OEM parts online.

My dealership here is HIGH on their prices.

Need an antenna mast and some brake pads.

Locally $60 for the mast, $80 for front pads, $90 for rear shoes.

check ebay

I saw the power antennas there for less than $20 new with instructions from quite a few dealers

Yeah, I got an ebay one for $20 in late Feb, and it needs to be replaced. I'm going to try an OEM Toyota mast this time.

Try 1sttoyotaparts.com and let me know what you think of their prices. Looks like the antenna mast is $37 if I looked at the right part. Good customer service. Sure you pay shipping, but remember there are no taxes.

MUCH better.

Thank you!

Wow, the difference in the plastic cable on the OEM part and the ebay part was HUGE.

The OEM cable was about twice as thick as the aftermarket part, and the teeth were deeper, larger, and spaced farther apart than the aftermarket part. Just a much heavier, better quality antenna mast.

Works great so far.
