The best chance of giving your Toyota IST a new lease on life is with replacement parts. When looking for replacements, your two main options are aftermarket or OEM. Aftermarket parts are those not made by original manufacturers. They give you some customizability, but this might come at the price of quality control. On the other hand, genuine OEM parts are those manufactured by Toyota or authorized third-party manufacturers for use in the Ist. Their manufacturing process has been subjected to higher quality standards, resulting in greater reliability and peace of mind. At BE FORWARD Auto Parts, we stock only authentic second-hand parts.

You'll need to swap out certain parts more frequently than others. These "consumables" include brake pads, oil filters, spark plugs, batteries, and air-conditioning filters that wear out quickly or get depleted. Those more long-lasting, like the engine and the transmission, can potentially go the entire lifespan of your Ist without needing a replacement, thus earning the name "durables." As durable as they might be, though, they can still give way due to years of wear and tear, resulting in the need for replacements. Some parts on the Ist have been reported to fail prematurely, such as the clutch and front struts of models from 2002 to 2007. If you own one of these model years, expect to change these more often. For these and other Ist parts in good working condition at competitive prices, shop with BE FORWARD Auto Parts.
