My 94 RAV4 had 170k on it when I replaced the (failed) factory struts. Loaded KYB's in front. They made it 80k miles and I went with Monroe Quick Struts as they "defected" the KYB's out.

Moog is nothing special anymore.

BMW electric water pumps - I tried Advance once. Never again. ECS Tuning (PP owners) had OEM. For the mid-teens 3 series E-whatever 4cylinder twin turbo oil cooler I went with BMW. WTF they need plastic parts to save six pounds is beyond me. Plastic parts and insulation blankets. Not that it's horrible but there is a learning curve for every job you do on one of these.

LKQ is a used parts house with a big facility near me. I have been using them a lot to get used factory parts. They record the mileage for most parts they sell.
