So my neighbor down the street picked up a nice looking 2005 Sunfire with around 130k for a pretty good price. He is in high school, and looking to finish his senior year to take this thing to college.
The reason I say this is because they are updating it...needs a few things! They started with some of the right things, like a everstart max battery and some General rt43 tires (asked me here
) But then they ordered some some struts for the car off of amazon...some detroit axle branded ones...like 200ish bucks for the whole set. My first thought was another brand like sensen or unity which won't last very long. But they seem to think this brand should be as good as the monroes...
My neighbor wants me to see them when he gets them before he puts them on the car and get my thoughts( maybe even give him a hand) That being said, it sounds like they are only expecting a few years out of the car, hence not buying the best of everything.
I kinda want to tell him to send it back, but who knows-they might be better than I thought. If it were you-would you tell him to ship it back and get something better, or do you think he should get2-3 solid years (maybe 30k tops) out of these DA ones?
Always fun when you are the car guru of the neighborhood.....
