Dealership parts prices by UPS

[SidneyCanada]

I am planning to buy front lower passenger and driver's side control arms for a 1995 Toyota 4-Runner and I got shipping quote of $54.83 by UPS 2nd day Air for them. Would the dealership stick their online quote even though both controls arms weigh alot?. Also did anyone ever purchase Toyota parts from?:

http://toyotaofhollywood.com

as right now they seem to have the cheapest prices on genuine OEM Toyota parts.

Here is breakdown of the parts I am planning to buy:

Toyota oil filter # 90915-YZZD1=$3.73, quantity:6
Toyota front lower driver's side control arm # 48069-35051=$171.21
Toyota front lower passenger side control arm # 48068-35051=$171.21
Toyota cotter pin # 90252-04002=$0.38, quantity:2

so subtotal:$365.56+$6 handling+ $54.83 (UPS 2nd day Air)=$426.39

I used to buy from Bob Bridge Toyota at http://www.1sttoyotaparts.com but they no longer hold the volume discount account so from all of the research I have done Toyota of Hollywwod, Florida seems to have the best prices presently. If anyone has place on cheaper control arms let me know as well does anyone have a source on RUST FREE SOUTHERN control arms that they would be willing to ship to Nova Scotia Canada by USPS (US Mail)?.. They are used on 2nd generation 4-Runners (1990-95) and 5th generation pickups (1989-95). If so send me an email at the below address in my signature.

I would rather buy parts from the Internet, and shipped by UPS instead of Dealership.

I believe that is what he is doing. The question is shipping costs.

Sidney, if you buy with a credit card, you can always dispute the claim if they overcharge you for shipping.

Doing Homework can save alot of money!

There's cheap parts on EBAY! ,but watch the shipping priece.

Oxygen sesnors - There's 1,2,and 4-wire, the only difference is the wire, conn, and cost.

1-wire is 1st gen (OBDI), 2-wire is 2nd gen, and 4-wire are Heated O2 sensors.
