I currently own a 2012 Kizashi Sport model (Canadian) with AWD and CVT transmission. The odometer is at 82 000 km/51 k miles.

There is a 2011 Kizashi SE (Canadian) with CVT, but not AWD for sale in my area. It seems to be in good shape (1 owner only) and there is only 60 000 km/37 k miles on it. The guy is only asking ''$5900 Neg. for quick sale''.

I am thinking about buying it to use as a ''parts car'' later down the road. I really like my Kizashi and I am thinking about keeping it for another 8-10 years. Do you guys know if both model are using the same parts? I believe 90% of the parts would be the same, but I have no idea....I probably should not do that as it seems to be a very reliable car in general.

I think the easiest way would be to check out OEM parts dealers and check the part numbers for both models for common parts. I would pretty sure things like A/C compressor, alternator, and other parts would be the same. The only possible differences I can see is some suspension components as the Sport models are 10mm lower. Those would be the ones I'd take a close look at.

BTW - I know someone who will buy an inner tie rod from you if you did get it. You could source parts for others!

Right...the suspension. I did not realize that. Good point about selling parts to others, but I do not think it is worth it. I just feel it is a very good deal and I want someone I know to buy it lol
