OEM Parts Availability

[Hman127]

My question Is to all Kizashi owners. I don't currently own one , but was wondering how some are faring finding dealer who sell oem parts. I know many parts from Advance Auto , Autozone etc, are available. Looking online I have seen some dealers online, but not ones that have part listing to search in my area. I am on the East Coast Usa. I have noticed that cv axles have a high price some $600 to $900 online, and It doesnt seem like any one makes them aftermarket besides boot kits. Im guessing that oem's last long I haven't tried calling any dealers though. I do see a fair market at junk parts with Kizashi used parts. How has everyone else been dealing otherwise. Thanks

In over 280K miles the only parts I've needed were a HAC blower motor and controller.
I get my brakes aftermarket, shocks from TireRack.com, and hope that's all I'll ever need.

If you want OEM parts, monsterfactoryparts.com is the way to go in most cases. When I've ordered from them, the parts have come directly from dealerships located across the country. I would imagine that your local dealers probably don't carry any parts and would have to order them anyway.

The Kizashi has been very reliable. The only thing I've had to replace that's not normal maintenance was the blower motor as well. Still on my original front pads and discs at 146,000 miles.

The others have already listed some of the go-to sources for parts. As also already stated, the Kizashi is rather reliable so most run great on just maintenance. For hard-to-find OE parts not available in the US, some have ordered them from https://www.megazip.net/ which apparently sources parts from Japan, where the Kizashi was made.
My personal favorite site for maintenance parts is http://www.rockauto.com.
