What does /o/ think of the north american SX4 by Suzuki.

I was thinking of getting one and installing, coil-overs, Turbo, new ECU, New Brakes, and a nice pair of tires and [non rice lime rims].

I'm planning on making into a rally/track car.

So what do you anons think, what are the major problems with this car ?

Hey /o/,
So my LS 400 is nice and all but I think its time to move on. I'm going to stick with the LS, but going to upgrade to a LS 430, certainly with the UL package. Anything I should look out for? Anyplace specifically I should look? What mileage do these cars start to fall apart? What's a fair price for one?

Ok i'm really wondering what the everloving fuck happened here.

i picked up (pic related) a 2014 Mustang. now i ran the vin through a vin decoder site (https://www.vindecoderz.com/) and it comes back as a Mustang GT . but wait. ti's got a v6. how the fuck is it coming back as a GT with a v6. now one would say maybe the v8 got ripped out. BUT THE VIN DECODER SAYS V6. The rear badge does not say GT on it.

special order? Someone mokeyed around with the records? Did such an animal exist? or is the website just fucked giving wrong info?

Bit of a backstory on the situation.

Bought the car from a dealership clean carfax no accidents in 2012 with 78000 miles and now it has about 92000 miles. Everything pretty much went wrong despite the little I drove it.

I had owned the car for four years and have had close to $20000 worth of work done in terms on parts and labor I spent about $2000 (not including basic maintenance)on my own money in parts and labor not covered by my warranty. One year alone had 8K worth of parts and labor under my warranty. Also, I had $800 since owning the car in deductables. Had a new steering rack, AC unit and water pump put in after a massive coolant leak this year alone. Basically had an entire new front end, supercharger, gaskets and suspension in the four years of ownership.

As a recent college grad with a part time job, I could not afford the car anymore especially without a warranty. I had a repair alone that cost almost $4000 which was mainly labor in one shot which was covered by warranty which expired and I could not handle the costs anymore. I have student loans to pay off and the car had been nothing but issues in the time I had it.

I babied the car despite all of its problems, always used synthetic oil, premium fuel also known as 93 Octane as required, detailed it frequently and waxed once a month. Its a real head turner and looked brand new. Too bad its been nothing but problems

Put the car on Craigslist, then took it off after too many shady calls.

Finally listed it on Auto trader and Cars.com for over three months and lowered the price but no calls either. Sold the car to a dealer and got more than I was expecting. Dealer could not sell the car for months and lowered the price more than what they gave me. Finally sold it and I cant help but feel bad for the next person who owns the car and the next repair may cost more then what they paid for the car.

I am happy though I got rid of that POS Moneypit, Sucks to be the new owner though.

sup /o/
Buying my first car, and after some research, I have been eyeing a CPO ex-rental with less than 15k miles on it. Another option is another CPO ex-corporate fleet car with less than 20k miles.
Given the above, which is the better buy? They are of the same make and model.

Actual car /o/wners, where do you prefer to get your tires changed?

These are the original tires on the car and I've never had to have tires changed before as this is also my first car. I know Walmart does changes but I would rather submerge my car in vaseline than bring it there.

Pic unrelated but maybe in the next month it will be.
