Which Toyota dealer do you use for spares?

I've been using CMIToyota on West Terrace but wondering if there is another place with better pricing and level of knowledge of the MkIVs.

I've a quote in front of me from Curt@Elmhurst and freight is going to kill me.

Gary @ Salisbury is fantastic, pleasure to deal with.
The parts manager Tony is a good guy too, dealt with these guys a lot over the years.

They have one twat that dislikes imports and sledged them to my face so I refuse to deal with him any more. He's, err... lacking height and hair so that will identify him.

Anyhoo, Curt does have a great global reputation in Supra land but freight sux butt.

Unfortunately you're caught between the Devil and the deep blue sea as Toyo Aust import prices are evil !!
I've complained many a time to Tony about this saying they'd get much more business if they could compete. Christ - half the time Curt can land it for significantly less.

Have also dealt with Kevin from a Toyo dealership in NZ too in recent times - top bloke, great response rates IF you call him up - don't email him. Prices are better than Aust Toyo by far but what's new?

Finally, don't even bother with any other Toyo dealership in Adelaide, none of the other even have the Japanese microfiche as far as I know. Our cars are a mystery to them eg. Toyo Stepney, Cornes Toyota etc.

I go up the road to Jarvis Toyota - in Tonsley Pk -

They have the supra diagrams on computers there - as was looking at them when looking for gaskets - and bolts when changing turbos -

not sure how good delivery things like that though - as the guy there let me go through boxes of bolts to find the ones in needed -

only charged me for ones brand new in packaging :)

Stevo, do have the Japanese catalogues for the MkIV's though?
I think Jarvis can help you because you have an Australian delivered car yeah?

Be interested to know if the full import folk had more options?

CMI would like to set up an SA Supra cash sales account. Basically CMI will offer any SAS Supra financial Member discount for being a financial member of this club. Currently I am receiving good discounts when I buy parts for myself or for others.

Now for each and everyone on you to receive the discount, you need to do the following:-

1. Be a financial member
2. Send me you first name and contact number by PM (for contact on any orders)
3. Send me your car details (i.e. Frame and model number, make and model etc)
4. Know your member number.

I will put a spreadsheet together and if you aren’t on the list, then you get on the list.

Once this is set up, you simply tell them your name and SA Supra membership number (so they have all your vehicle details plus verification) plus they will give you discount. The discount will increase depending on how much the club spends and we should be able to get trade or near trade pricing.

The guy I deal with is very good with Supra.

I still get quotes from Curt for comparision...

PM'd on this.

I just got a quote back from Curt and whilst the prices are fabulous the freight is ridiculous. A discount from CMI may just put them back into the ballpark for me and what I may do is order the smaller parts from Curt and the largest, freight expensive pieces from CMI.

Nic on supraforums.com.au can do some good prices on the less bulky items you want. For eg. got a price for replacement window seals from him and it was less than 1/2 what CMI quoted.

Yes many parts are cheaper from Overseas. Just shop around.

We found that we could get new pistons for the GTE cheaper locally then we could from the US or from Nic...
