Im tired of toyota trying to rape me..., pricing some hatch lifts must vent anger Options

[easternpiro1]

Im beggining to get sick of toyota...I called scott clarks toyota city in charlotte (not my favorite place but its close) because ive been having a hard time finding some hatch lifts. all the street corner parts stores dont have them (autozone etc) and i cant find them online. toyota had the cojones to tell me they were $130 EACH!!!!!!! now i may be delusional, but isnt that a little high? EVEN FOR TOYOTA? i mean damn!! does some sucky sucky come with that??? or at least some vaseline for the idiot who buys them??



what do ya'll think about that?

thanks for listening...ive had a bad week, car's been giving me problems and i need a beer....

That does seem a bit pricey but getting anything from toyota always is, so you may have to play by their rules or think about this.....create a lift rod ( like the one that holds up your hood) to put up your hatch, that may be another feasable way to solve your problem, and it might be kinda cool/unique. Maybe not tho...

Lift Supports

If you can't find them in there, go to Replacement Parts>Shock & Strut>Lift Supports, I'm sure they have them there but I can't post the link.

local dealers are nuts , Toyota of bowie told me 96+ front turn signal housing were 48 each
lol
I know about the diamond cut ones on ebay but I wanted Toyotas ,
Toyota parts cheap sells them for 24.71 each

If you really want Toyota parts you can get them online at a fair price
or perhaps tell your local dealer that you know about the wholesalers on the internet and maybe they will match the price.

i tried that....but get this fellas... i bought a high priced knob for my ac, (i think like 15 bucks) i get all the way home and try to install it. ITS to big to snap in!! its like the 3rd time toyota has raped me! makes me wanna go honda....

[slipgun]

you think they are any cheaper?

[CoSo]

I was told at a local dealer that the amber repeaters are $78 each. Bastards.

[Galcobar]

Best place I've found is 1sttoyotaparts.com -- wholesale prices from a Toyota dealership, and shipping is only 10% of the total.

they have more aftermarket on their 94 cars though

[slipgun]

Ahh, I thought you ment Honda did something better so their parts where cheaper, yes their aftermarkets better... because everyone and thier grandma owns one. Honda itself will still rape you though
