Since you are on the subject of 5 speed trans. what kind of pricing are they going for now and availability? @Onur
I saw the show and i agree that they cut out a lot of the technical stuff, i do miss Ed.
It just hit me after checking the video that this vehicle would never pass CA smog inspection, most of the components and hoses are missing.
I've posted this information a million times over the past 14 or so years that I have been doing parts professionally. The only thing that changes is the cost and the MSRP because that's how global supply chains work. If you don't understand global supply chains and the Toyota parts system, then you don't understand how parts procurement works for Toyota.
Anyway, I'll post it again.
24 in stock in the US; 27 in bound from the mother ship to the US. It is class coded B3 which means it's a pretty fast moving part which means that enough people are buying the transmission for Aisin Seiki to continue making them for Toyota.
The H55F is not going anywhere anytime soon regardless of what people say-- @CCruisers Get the real info and stop playing into the mid/dis-information that is fed out there by whomever for whatever reasons. So much bull****.
$3900 is a bit much of a mark-up considering the Toyota MSRP is $3,064.34.
Dealer price below is what your Toyota dealer pays to Toyota to get the part delivered to their parts department. This is the
same for every single dealer in the United States. Wholesale price is the
suggested price for a good customer-- someone who buys a lot of parts from your parts department. Say, $5000 a month.
For example: Joe Blow Land Cruiser shop spends $20K a month with a given Toyota dealer. That person probably has negotiating power with their supplying dealer to get the price pretty close to a cost +10% basis: dealer makes 10% and Joe Blow Land Cruiser shop can then sell it at whatever price they want.
Cost + 10% is generally about as low as most dealerships will go-- that generally also happens to be employee parts pricing. That is generally below any of the online dealership pricing you might see out there... whatever website you can find out there. Anyone who is selling it for less than that means that they are probably not going to last long as a parts manager. At least I sure as s*** wouldn't hire them if I was a GM.
