This is sort of a diary of how i got my p5.
I have just moved out from my parents house, and the 96 sidekick sports started to give me problems. (the speed sensor needs to be replaced, $400) and also the alignment is screwed (well, it's been screwed for at least 3 years) Since I am budget tight, i went back to the suzuki dealership to find out how much my parents have paid for the repair and maintence. They gave me, $17781!!!, and that is more than $2500 a year!! (well, if you consider the first 3 year parts and labour were free, the average is much higher), the number could be wrong, but i did have an engine swap back in 1998 because of a piston failure, they got me a 1997 engine, the bill? $4333. (and the engine was supposed to be the only part that is imported from Japan) After a long consideration, i decided to go out and shop for new wheels (or used wheels). I always wanted to get a 1994 Blue Honda Civic HB, but the bad experience with the sidekick worries me, used cars may not be reliable and will cost lots in R&M. So, i have decided, NEW wheels.
