Purchasing parts from ebay and amazon
#2
there are 3000+ parts in a car, which ones? I'd need a hint. and sold to what country , the world is a huge place.
i never buy from AMAZON, now, did for years, until they started the inane tactic of shipping to you from deep China, and its IMPOSSIBLE to find that out before hand,,,, bad to the bone that... 60 day delays ,etc.
EBAY , does far better it says clear as day, shipped from USA address, omg , EBAY is not a crook like Amazon !!!
but what are you buying the car has 3000+ parts.
floor mats, drink holders or , bearing, gears or engine parts.
Purchasing, got you.,.. but I am for sure PARCHED (choking...) at AMAZON, (boycotting them now)

can I assume your autostores, are clueless as to parts? local stores are best, because you can WYSIWYG, see what you get before you buy, OMG< this part if for the other engine., not mine.

warning suzuki uses engine code 0 for both the MPI engine and the 8v TPI, and are NOT the same engine, nor same EFI parts , nor spark parts,
so most stores, and online are clueless to this fact, for 27 long years and most are totally ignorant if this..., (some show KV and KC (v = van = 16, c=canvas top and 8valve engines,)

buying parts, i need to know your country, after all how can we guess, best parts from best sources.
I helped a guy in NEPAL. and they had no AUTO stores. zero. what a shock? (his FPR was hacked, ouch....) I think? rockauto saved him...

I get my parts from NAPA, over the counter, brick stores. they are the best. here. (Advanced auto 2nd)
but if I have lots of time on my hands and cars down time not an issue (7-10 days) , Rockauto is first. Lacking local parts.

EBAY has 1/2 bad parts Clones,/counterfeit and junk, or has top brands, I buy parts by known good brands, "never parts NONAME or cant say it, like "SOM TING WONG" brand. or worse."
Ebay is the Potpourri , (like , Forest Gumps, mum,, "life is like a box of chocolate Forest, you never know what you are going to get" EBAY to a fault... (to me a love/hate deal)
There are lots of good parts there, only the internet makes junk parts so , Available, today..

so what is it you need?, and where must it ship.? That be like #1 to wax smarter...
most online stores will not ship out of their country. (customs laws, fees and tons of paper work) same with many ebay sellers (sure all china parts do, after all its junk.. a $1 part sold for $20)

I watched a guy order 4 Radiators online, (engine) and not one fit.
depends on the part, and how many variants there are.

Here Suzuki is the underdog, & now gone, (like Yugo, Isuzu, Daewoo) some Suz, cars only sold 5000 to the whole country, that is not good. and they dont sell cars here now.
