Drive Type: 4WD
Model: Samurai

Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ... 

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!

Automotive Grade Linux will be the backbone of your connected car

Fri, Jan 6 2017

Creating a backend for a secure, reliable, and expandable infotainment system is costly and time consuming. The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, has set out to promote and advance the Linux operating system in commercial products. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is a group within the Foundation that seeks to apply a Linux backend to a number of automotive applications in a variety of vehicles from various suppliers and manufacturers. AGL's goal is to create a common, unifying framework that allows developers and manufacturers to easily implement applications across platforms. Currently, the focus is on infotainment systems, but AGL has plans for instrument clusters, heads-up displays, and eventually active safety software. At CES, a display from Panasonic showed a completely digital and customizable dashboard that allows information and apps to be moved from the gauge cluster to the infotainment screen and back, all through the use of gesture and touch controls. Although the organization has been around for five years, it's really only been in the past three that the group has been working hand in hand with automakers and suppliers. The first two OEMs to participate, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover, have since been joined by Mazda, Suzuki, Ford, and, as of this week, Daimler. The latter is important as until now most of AGL's partner's have been based in Japan or the US. Other partners include suppliers Denso, Renesas, Continental, Qualcomm, and Intel. AGL want's to supply roughly 80 percent of the backend, allowing partners to then finish and refine the Linux system for each individual application. Think of how the Android operating system is refined and customized for individual smartphones from Samsung, LG, and Motorola. While the final product looks different, developers can have an application that will work across all AGL systems. Because it is open source, anyone can use and develop for AGL. You can even go onto the group's website and download a copy right now. There is also a software development kit available that helps facilitate app creation on the platform. Vehicle development cycles take roughly five years, so there currently are no cars that run an AGL backbone available for consumers. AGL Executive Director Dan Cauchy says products should be hitting the market later this year, with even more coming in 2018. Right now, the industry is relatively fragmented when it comes to infotainment and related systems.

Suzuki heads rolling over fuel economy scandal

Wed, Jun 8 2016

Suzuki Motor Corporation executives admitted last month that the company had been falsifying fuel-economy tests for some of its vehicles. Today, it was announced that chairman Osamu Suzuki will not become CEO and executive vice president Osamu Honda will step down from his position at the next shareholder meeting, which takes place June 29. Executive bonuses for 2015 will also be eliminated or cut in half. The company is also promising to change its corporate culture so as to allow whistle blowers to get their messages heard. "Suzuki has a top-down culture and it's been difficult for voices from lower down to go to the management," Toshihiro Suzuki (Osamu's son) told reporters, according to Bloomberg. Both Suzuki family members will take a pay cut for the last half of 2016 (Osamu at 40 percent, Toshihiro at 30). Over 2 million Suzuki vehicles were involved in the fuel economy fakery. Japan's transport ministry is taking a closer look at company-submitted data after Mitsubishi and then Suzuki were found to have misled regulators and the public.

Suzuki offers sneak peek at Authentics concept for Shanghai

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

Suzuki has prepared the C-segment Authentics concept for the Shanghai Motor Show, a preview of a sedan that would slot into the fattest chunk of the market among China's car buyers. Suzuki hasn't given away much, saying only that it is "Sporty x Elegant" and that it's long and low and has a "rich and fine curved surface."
PaulTan.org says this is the trunked version of the SX4 crossover, and if that's the case then it would represent a new approach to the SX4 in the region, offering markedly different styling instead of being, literally, an SX4 with a trunk. We'll know more when the Shanghai show opens in a couple of weeks, for now there's a press release with a tad more info on Suzuki's plans just below.
