Date: Tue, 14 Mar 1995 08:52:22 -0500 From: FUSZTOYOTA@aol.com To: toyota-l@bgu.edu Subject: Re: Fusz Toyota online Greetings from the wholesale parts department of Lou Fusz Toyota! We've been lurking the list here for several weeks, having received a number of calls from people who had heard of us through the Internet. After a period of familiarization with the nets, like taking our first baby steps, we'd like to announce ourselves and let you know that we are now available through the Internet via America Online (though some of you have already found us :-) We have been a pioneer in the mail-order Toyota parts market and hope to continue to learn, grow and improve. There have been some changes in what we do and how we do it, and we'd like to pass this information along to update your excellent FAQ. For logistical, technical and warranty reasons we no longer sell either the performance parts or the aftermarket accessories listed in our current catalog. We are still sending out remaining copies of that catalog at no charge until we are able to publish the next edition, which will be changed from the current comprehensive format to a set of smaller, model-specific catalogs and should begin appearing in mid-summer or sooner. It is our understanding that American Stitchco, maker of the Skintight line of front-end masks, is now selling only to manufacturers. In fact we were unable to fill several backorders for this reason. Here are the telephone numbers of other suppliers listed in our current catalog: Toyota Racing Development (TRD) - (714)444-1188 HKS - (310)328-8100 Kaminari (aero kits etc.) - (800)289-5488 Pacific Trading (aero kits) - (714)261-8331 Aero Enhancements - (800)523-7388 Cal-Bra - (714)361-5566 Toyota Materials Distribution (Manuals) - (800)622-2033 (in CA) - (800)443-7656 We no longer publish a price list; Toyota's pricing is updated monthly and it has been beyond our capabilities to publish and distribute our own list in that time-frame. As we learn and improve our electronic capabilities, we may be able again to furnish a price list with our catalogs, or even as a downloadable file on the nets, in the near future. In the meantime, you can always call us for current pricing at (800)325-9581. We welcome your inquiries. We're not able to provide technical or diagnostic support at this time but perhaps at some point we'll be able to get our master technicians online as well, to provide that function. In summary, we're glad to be here online and available to help with your Toyota parts needs. We discount 15% to 30% directly off Toyota's published MSRP and shipping charges are based upon the charts given us by UPS and other carriers. Feel free to call, fax or Email us for current specials. Thank you! Sincerely, The Staff of Lou Fusz Toyota America Online: FUSZTOYOTA (314)966-5404 - (800)325-9581 - Fax 24 hrs. (314)966-2353
