:? Has anyone ordered Scion xB parts from Amazon.com?? I noticed that there are alot of items listed from floor mats to intake stuff, grills etc. I would like to know what your thoughts are on using Amazon as a source for parts.

Never for car parts before, but great service on electronics, movies, and houseware! :)

Does that mean you would never purchase car parts through Amazon?, or you just never have? :D

I've never ordered car parts from them before. :wink:

They're just a "middleman", though. The parts come from other vendors selling through Amazon, much the same way that Circuit City and Target sell their products through Amazon. :)

When you look at an item, check to see where it's shipping from (who the vendor is). That's the most important thing to pay attention to.

I have purchased through Amazon before, just not for the Scion yet. I would be willing to bet that the parts you order from Amazon are actualy coming from a Scion Dealer, or Wearhouse and Amazon is acting as the Retailer to reach a larger market.

(Stupid MBA acting up again on me. Keep saying I am an Engineer.)

I drop about $1000 a year with them, and have haven't had a major problem. The only problem I ever had was that I ordered something for Overnight ship on a Friday and didn't get it till Tuesday, They refunded the shipping.

They have a ton of floor mats at all different prices & styles and a couple of the window deflectors(for keeping rain out etc) so I'll research. The thing I like about Amazon in the free shipping for over $25 purchase. Thanks for the input. :love:

AArhhh, I looked, they are selling all aftermarket stuff

I must admit, some of it does look cool.
