YACT: Good Toyota OEM parts site?

[FP]

Came out to my car this morning and found the driver side mirror smashed to pieces.

Called my dealer and he wants $500 to replace the mirror. I figure I can do it myself but he quoted my $300 just for the parts.

Anyone know of a good OEM parts site that actually sells Toyota OEM parts? I have found a bunch that sell "built to OEM specs" parts but they all require painting.

Thanks.

Try:

http://www.car-part.com/

To see if you can locate one in a salvage yard.

Google Longo Toyota, call the 800#.

You did not say how old your car is but they carry a real depth of stock, have very sharp
partsmen and don't charge over the top. Highly reccomended for new OEM parts here in Cal.

Good luck finding OEM parts anywhere besides a dealer.

And this is the sole reason why I won't buy foreign vehicles. Parts are crazy expensive.

But at least some online dealers don't totally fleece you.
http://www.mazdastuff.com/ is one
http://www.courtesyparts.com/ is another

I'm sure there are other sites out there for similar brands.

Those sites charge considerably less than what local dealers do.

Its a mirror....why do you need OEM?

EDIT: just noticed the painting part, my bad...

But they don't need to be replaced nearly as often. 😛
