1987 Suzuki Samurai 17k Miles One Owner on 2040-cars
Lansing, Michigan, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Suzuki
Drive Type: 4WD
Model: Samurai
Mileage: 17,412
Trim: Standard
As the title says, this is a 1987 Samurai with 17K original, one owner miles. The vehicle spent the majority of its life in Florida until three years ago when it was shipped to Michigan. It has NOT been exposed to Michigan winters. The Samurai drives like one would expect of a 17K mile vehicle. The engine runs perfectly with zero issues. The four wheel drive, including the manual lockouts, function as they should with zero issues. The truck is completely rust free with exception of a quarter size bubble in the bed area. Again, this is a bubble and not rusted through. Everything is original on the truck except the tires and the top. Even the brakes are original! The only known issue is the heater blower stopped working a couple weeks ago. I have not had time to diagnose the problem. It is a strong possibility that the blower motor will be repaired before the auction ends. The Suzuki has seen minimal trail riding (nothing close to extreme or abusive) and therefore does have fine scratches here and there. Also, the tailgate somehow got tweaked and when closed the bottom sticks out about a half inch. It still latches securely without any play.
This truck is ready to make a trip anywhere without worry. At 30+ MPG, this is great economical fun! If you would like to see specific pictures please let me know and I will do my best to get them to you within 24 hours. Please remember that bidding is legally binding. If needed, please ask your significant other before bidding. A $250 deposit is due within 12 hours of the close of the auction with the remainder due at pickup with a certified check from a reputable bank or cash. If you would like to speak in person please give me a call at (517)214-6688. Bid high, bid often, and happy bidding!

Suzuki Hayabusa's return is teased in video
Fri, Jan 29 2021Hang on to your kidneys, the planet's fastest production motorcycle is on its way back. Suzuki has released a teaser video for a new Hayabusa on its global and UK social media channels. Only a few glimpses of the superbike can be seen, but it's enough to get our adrenal glands pumping. Debuting in 1999 during Japan's motorcycle speed wars, the Suzuki Hayabusa immediately rocketed to the forefront, nabbing the world record for fastest street bike. Not only has it been clocked at speeds as high as 194 mph, it's held on to that title for for two decades. Notably, the Hayabusa, named after a peregrine falcon known for reaching 200 mph during its hunting dives, did not compromise everyday comfort and handling in pursuit of all-out speed. However, Suzuki had to dump the bike from its U.S. lineup in 2021, and in Europe it's been absent since 2018 due to emissions regulations. It appears, though, that sabbatical was only temporary. The teaser video gives us a couple of peeks at new hardware. Its iconic five-gauge instrument pod is still there, but updated with a TFT screen in center position. The readouts indicate a number of electronic technologies will return, including S-DMS engine power modes, traction control, lift (anti-wheelie) control, and a quickshifter. An inclinometer showing the angle of lean on either side sits in the middle. Flanking the TFT are a tach and speedometer in their traditional positions on the left and right, respectively, with the latter's needle pegged at 180 mph. Fuel levels and engine temperature sit on opposite ends. Accompanying the visuals are a finely tuned roar and plenty of wind noise as the 'Busa flies around a speedway-type banked circuit. The official reveal will take place on February 5 online at 7 a.m. U.K. time — that's 2 a.m. Eastern. You can watch the unveiling on a virtual forum called the Suzuki Motorcycle Global Salon., which requires registration. Unfortunately, there's not word on whether the Hayabusa will come to the U.S.
Question of the Day: Most heinous act of badge engineering?
Wed, Dec 30 2015Badge engineering, in which one company slaps its emblems on another company's product and sells it, has a long history in the automotive industry. When Sears wanted to sell cars, a deal was made with Kaiser-Frazer and the Sears Allstate was born. Iranians wanted new cars in the 1960s, and the Rootes Group was happy to offer Hillman Hunters for sale as Iran Khodro Paykans. Sometimes, though, certain badge-engineered vehicles made sense only in the 26th hour of negotiations between companies. The Suzuki Equator, say, which was a puzzling rebadge job of the Nissan Frontier. How did that happen? My personal favorite what-the-heck-were-they-thinking example of badge engineering is the 1971-1973 Plymouth Cricket. Chrysler Europe, through its ownership of the Rootes Group, was able to ship over Hillman Avanger subcompacts for sale in the US market. This would have made sense... if Chrysler hadn't already been selling rebadged Mitsubishi Colt Galants (as Dodge Colts) and Simca 1100s as (Simca 1204s) in its American showrooms. Few bought the Cricket, despite its cheery ad campaign. So, what's the badge-engineered car you find most confounding?

Suzuki reopens India plant post-riot with police outnumbering workers
Fri, 24 Aug 2012Suzuki's plant in Manesar, India builds cars for Australia, specifically its Alto small car. Or at least they were building cars before violent worker riots forced the factory to close. The plant has been idled for five weeks as a result of worker violence that led to the death of one manager and 95 injuries. The riot was spurred over a labor dispute - specifically, a gulf in salaries between temporary workers and their salaried counterparts who earn triple the contract workers' wages.
According to reports, on Tuesday, the factory re-opened with more than 1,200 police officers stationed around the plant. The staff of actual workers at the plant numbers just 75 currently, meaning the police force greatly outnumbers Suzuki employees.
The number of employees will eventually grow to 300, and the officers will run in shifts of 100 at a time, but the initial disparity of workers to police is meant as a show of force to the more than 500 permanent and 500 temporary workers who were found to be involved in a July 18 riot.
