Looking for the nicest Samurai to be found, to possibly pull behind your RV, or trek to your favorite hunting spot or fishing hole? You have found it! The Samurai can be flat towed and we have frame mounts and tow bars available for extra $$.
This Samurai has a clean, current Iowa title and has been previously titled in Georgia. We have run a Carfax that shows this SUV has never been wrecked. Rod's Auto Sales (also known as SamuraiSalvage {google to find our website--offering new and used parts for Suzuki Samurai, Sidekick and Tracker}), is offering this super nice, unique, restored Samurai for auction. This Samurai has never seen a salty road and is 100% rust free. It had no rust before the restoration. Restoration included: new white paint (look at it shine!), new front and rear bumpers and new bumper end caps, new front and rear light assemblies, new white spare tire cover, new (new style -1992-1995) grille with S emblem. One of our 100 horse, high performance engines was a major part of this restoration (this engine is our featured product on our website) with only a few break-in miles.

New 215x75R15 MT BFGoodrich tires on new 7" polished aluminum American Racing wheels. New center caps and lug nuts. New AM/FM/CD player with new antenna.

This Samurai originally came with air conditioning--the wiring switch and the evaporator are still intact...to make functional the hoses, compressor and condenser would have to be added back by the new owner.

Suzuki ending auto sales in Canada, too
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Suzuki of Japan has reportedly made the decision that almost everyone assumed it would make when it announced it was leaving the US market: when the 2014 model year concludes, it will no longer sell cars in Canada. With six employees overseeing its auto business in Canada and a dealer network that has shrunk to 55 outlets in the country, we can't say we're shocked.
At the time of the US announcement, however, the senior VP of sales and marketing in the automotive division of Suzuki Canada said it would be able to survive on its own because, among other reasons, Canadians prefer smaller, more fuel-efficient cars that fit the company's offerings. Five months later, after some time to think about a 30-percent drop in sales to open up 2013 instead of the 1.4-percent increase in sales that Suzuki Canada posted last year, things have evidently changed.
The Globe and Mail reports that as is in the US, Suzuki's motorcycle, ATV and marine divisions in Canada will remain.
Suzuki could disappear from new car market quickly thanks to low inventory
Tue, 06 Nov 2012Yesterday's announcement that American Suzuki has filed for bankruptcy is all but a death blow for the Japanese automaker's 246 US dealers, but if there's any good news coming out of the situation, it could be the fact that the whole process will likely be quick and painless rather than drawn out. WardsAuto is reporting that with the current inventory and average sales numbers so far this year, there figures to be about three months left for Suzuki's new-car business in the US given current sales rates.
In October, Suzuki sold 2,023 units - a five percent increase over last year - but with just 5,549 left in inventory, it shouldn't take too long to wind down operations. Sales for the brand peaked 2007 with more than 100,000 units sold, but this year, Suzuki is barely on pace to reach a quarter of that amount, with just 21,188 units sold so far in 2012. In addition to poor sales, WardsAuto also notes that Suzuki faced problems due to its reliance on customers with subprime credit.
Suzuki will continue to sell motorcycles, ATVs and marine engines in the US, while the brand's cars will still be on sale in other countries including Canada and Mexico.
Suzuki recalling 2,800 XL7 models over faulty fuel pump
Sat, 29 Dec 2012A recall has been issued for the 2007 Suzuki XL7, but only those vehicles either bought or registered in four states: Texas, Arizona, California and Nevada. Potentially 2,380 of the SUVs manufactured from June 13, 2006 to December 22, 2006 could have an issue with their fuel pump modules: The plastic supply or return port could crack. If that happens, it could lead to a fuel leak and then to a fire.
Suzuki hasn't said when the recall will begin. Once it does, owners will be notified and can have their dealers make the necessary repairs free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.
