Where do you guys buy OEM stuff?

[Jan-78FJ40]

I realize there are many vendors for upgraded parts out there, but I am looking to keep my 81 stock.
So where do you go to buy OEM parts like calipers, a tie rod kit, relays, a coil...?
Also I need a transmission rebuild kit, or a new transmission soon...
thank you,
Jan

I tend to just buy parts from Napa and O'reillys, also check the dealership just in case they have a reasonable price on something I need. Seals I will get from the dealer, as well as filters.

I used to get 20% from my local dealer, but I've since moved and the closest dealer now laughed at me when I asked for the same discount. So, if it's something I don't need in a hurry, I go to CDan:

He saved me a BUNCH of money on a complete brake rebuild for my car, even considering the shipping costs. He definitely knows his stuff too.

x2 on CDan. I have bought quite a bit from him even though the local dealer gives me 20% (and sometimes more; e.g. 2 TRD elockers). He's certainly more knowledgable than the local Toyota parts guy as well!

CDan is the man. But I'm lucky, it is just up the road and the shooting range is the next offramp south. Two birds. One stone.

My local dealer will give 15% off...not to shabby

You can try here. He can get new dealer parts at a 20% discount too.


PRACTICALLY ANYTHING YOU WANT (missouri)

Lately I've been using gotmud, a fellow board member. He sells Toyota OEM parts and ships 'em for free.
