Hi Hachi,
The '89 SR5 is the only Toyota I have. My folks in NJ have a '90
Camry DX with 85k miles (no rust, believe it or not) and then a '97
Camry that's going with my brother to California soon.
I've been to Haverhill before; remember it being about a 40-mile
drive.
Usually if I get OEM parts it's from Texas Toyota in Grapevine, TX or
from Jay Marks Toyota (now Champion Toyota from what I see). Before
your post I had no idea that a walk-up dealership parts counter is
willing to match online prices. I'd figured that if you go to a
dealership to buy parts, then you must pay at least list price.
Since I don't have the skills/tools/space to tackle major myself
myself, usually whatever parts put on it are from wherever the
mechanic gets his parts. Last time I had exhaust work they used Bosal
parts, marked up 100% from list. I assume my timing belt/waterpump
came from Autozone; no idea about the brand.

If you plan on keeping Toys for a while, it's good to have some options. I
*TRY* to use OEM parts, but can't always afford it. Most of the parts I
have put on my Supra are OEM or Toyota remand, but the fan clutch, pads
and rotors aren't, and I don't think the shocks will be either. |
