I'd recommend a letter.  It takes only a few minutes to send out.  My letter, short and to the point:

Dear ____,

Can you please ensure the continued availability of Toyota Marine Sports parts for Toyota Epic boats? We bought these boats in good faith and want Toyota to ensure future availability of parts.

Sincerely,

___________


It is an effective letter.  I've already received two responses from Toyota.  In addition to the two addresses provided earlier in this thread, also send a letter to: Mr. Ken Elliot at          Ken_Elliot@Toyota.com.   Mr. Elliot is National Manager or North American Procurement Operations.  He is aware of the situation and is investigating the status of everything. 

Toyota no longer owns the parts.  They were sold to a third party long ago.  Mr. Elliot is investigating the status of the parts and where things stand today. 

In his conversation with me, he asked, "What do you want to accomplish?"  I told him, ideally, continued availability of all parts if possible and, at a minimum, continued availability of the parts that are Toyota specific and the failure of which would cause us trouble with our boats.

This is what I suggest, Continue wth 3rd party without reducing inventory, I cant afford to move the inventory or warehouse it there isnt enogh money in the sale of these parts. Maybe since I saved Toyota 33 million in buying back all the products and never went to court. Toyota should pay me again!

Actually I guess it worked cause he emailed me back saying they were looking into the matter.

Folks...I work for a Toyota distributor, which essentially is Toyota from a parts (vehicle) standpoint. We scrap parts everyday. With the focus on turn rates and minimizing inventory, shelf space is too valuable to stock stuff that doesn't sell. Capt. Rick is right -- buy what you need or think you might need while he still has access to it.

The Buy parts is current with available parts. Please buy the items before they are no longer available.

FWIW there is a link to all out of stock parts on the buy parts page just beneath the search button.

Hopefully they'll still be available for a couple more weeks. Just bought a 2000 X22 from the insurance auction which was involved in a rollover (original owner went around a turn, while pulling the trailer, to fast they say) and will need some parts.

I do and I'll post it later. Got a great deal on it but obviously it needs a little work.

He rolled the boat and trailer together. Trailer is now a salvage title and needs a lot of welding to get it back together. Here's my purchase. I know it looks rough but nothing a little elbow grease and a few sections of fiberglass won't fix.
