OEM Online Honda Parts Sites

All the supreme court did was to nix requiring the various mail order
companies to collect taxes on behalf of the home states of their
purchasers. However, the individual buyer is still legally required to
pay the taxes to their home state. In practice almost nobody does so
and in practice the states have rarely tried to enforce this law against
individuals, but I know first hand that they sometimes go after business
purchasers because there is enough money potentially there to make the
costs of collections worthwhile.

 

Not really. It is important to understand the law before arguing it,
and obvious Mr. Beam doesn't.

You should read the legislation more carefully. The federal law
prohibits forcing companies to collect sales taxes from out of state
customers. It does not prohibit states from charging or collecting use
taxes directly from the customers.

Some people don't seem to comprehend this distinction.

I just stumbled upon the 'official' "Honda E-store" website linked from
Honda Owner's Link website and the prices of a front disc brake pad set from
the 2 accessible dealers to me are DOUBLE the going web price. I guess it's
YMMV with different kind of parts and dealers but I can likely do better
with maintenance parts purchased en masse online. Mostly I was impressed
that Honda is now pimping parts directly through their dealer network via
the same factory drawings we've been used to over the years. One thing I
love about Honda is their ubiquitous, online parts and knowledge
availability.

I think so, though improvement has been steady in the last
few years. Googling turns up a heckuva lot more OEM parts
dealers these days.

This is important to me, too. Before I buy a Toyota (maybe
in a few years when my 91 Civic dies), I will want to know
how available online drawings and OEM parts are.
