Obsolete/Discontinued OEM Parts
I called Southwest today for a plastic tailgate garnish for my 96 2 door & was told it has been discontinued. Keith w/ Southwest has no locater so I began to call dealers at random in LA with the part # from Keith. The first dealer I reached had a locater, gave me the number of 4 dealers with the part which the 3d one had and I bought for $52.00 w/shipping. I am completely serious when I say that the General wanted $200.00 for exactly the same part, a plastic guard for the top of the rear door, which is why I went back to start in LA w/ the part #. Hell, for $200.00 I should also get the door. While Keith says that Suzuki dealers are req'd to have locaters, the system hasn't yet reached him nor the dealer in Tenn from whom I finally bought the part. LA dealer's # is (562) 809-4490 for anyone so inclined.
