kekalot Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I am about to buy a second Suzuki Carry and was looking to see if there were any extra parts I should be buying while visiting the dealership for a checkup I have already a tire inflater and a few gimmicks but nothing for a proper little tool kit and get a jack but.. should I get an extra air filter, timing belt, wheels, oil filters, wiper blades, fuses, sparkplug and/or what else? my dad was a mechanic but he left home when I was young, I could know all this but ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mogandave Posted March 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2021 Are you negotiating to get these things free or buying them? If it includes a spare tire and the kit to change it, I would buy nothing else extra until I needed it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canthai55 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Most things can be checked during routine maintenance and purchased as required. If you wash your own car this gives you a chance to see them before they fail. Carry some spare fuses, and the fone number of a roll on roll off truck in case of breakdown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogandave Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Exactly. Keep in mind, parts like belts and wiper blades start aging as soon as they are manufactured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross163103 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 The timing belt is a good thing to have checked/changed if it's got a lot of kms on it. If the engine is an interference fit type and the belt fails valves could hit pistons, obviously not a good thing. It might be chain drive but better to find out. That's one of the first things I checked on a friend's second hand Suzuki Swift; it was a chain drive so no issues with belts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthainess Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Don't buy parts from a dealer, unless you want to pay 3 times the price, many of those FB battery shops sell or can order parts and are of fair price and quality. Example; new electric fan from Nissan cost 3,200b lasted 13months and little mileage. New fan from FB shop 1,200 now 2yrs old still fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kekalot Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 btw this truck is second hand (few years back) but I must have edited the word out (I do go back and edit stuff like that) then and saw it too late to edit it.. so it read like I was getting a second one alright well I got some good ideas, mostly confirms what I thought I needed. I actually bought a bunch of other rubbish such as a backup camera, dashcam, replacement steering cover, phone holder, USB charger thing from lighter and prob looking to get some nicer seat and floor covers and random stuff. just waiting to move so I can have parking space for it then imma go hunting on FB marketplace. lots of poor people selling their stuff on there due to pandemic, can get pretty good pickups for 100-150k, worth a look!
