Golgo13, Where can i buy a copy of the "electronic parts catalog" your using for a 94 Land Cruiser?

Sorry, I have a corporate account since I work for the Company. Only Toyota Motor Sales and its affiliates have access to the part catalog. Before I had access to the system, I used toyotapartsoverstock.com a lot to get an idea of availability and price.

Lexus-only part numbers come up as "PART NOT FOUND" when input into Dealer Daily or any DMS master files. They are "invisible" to Toyota Dealers.

For several years quite a few LX450-specific parts were coded incorrectly by TMC and although they were not listed in Land Cruiser catalogs the numbers were live on the Toyota side of the fence. The error was discovered about three years ago and "corrected"......

I hate it when we "fix" things like that. It all goes through TMS and TMC, I don't get why the info availability has to be different. Everyone knows they are the same vehicles. Aside from that, vehicles with Lexus badges here are often sold in Japan with Toyota badges. Why should we have to go to a Lexus dealer to get Toyota parts with Lexus markings?!?

Now that Sewell is no longer taking orders, where is the best place to order parts? I need a good source for factory LX 450 and 570 parts.

Thanks

Thanks guys. I told the people at Sewell they were going to have some very sad owners when they closed the online store. It just wasn't the business they wanted to be in.

Hopefully someone will step up soon and make ordering online just as easy at a good price.
