rkrenicki's 2010 SH9 Forester X Limited - 2024-03-02 Brakes Part One!

[rkrenicki]

As someone who buys a lot of parts overseas for my vehicles, especially now having a Japanese Kei Truck, I use a variety of vendors depending on what it is and who is cheaper:

Amazon Japan, JapanParts, and Amayama are my go-tos for new OEM and Dealer Catalog parts that are only available in Japan.
Partsouq (OEM) and Spareto (Aftermarket) for parts that are available in Europe.
Yahoo Auctions Japan via a buying proxy (such as Zenmarket or Tokyobuyers) for most used parts.

Occasionally I will use other vendors like Croooober (usually for wheels) or MKTJapan (another proxy service that is a bit more hands-on, but is more expensive)

Amazing info, thanks so much!

Have you enjoyed owning your Sambar? I have thought about replacing my old Silverado with a Kei truck, but I like the flexibility to be able to drive at highway speeds. Either way they are so cool!
