1988 Suzuki Samurai 4x4 Hard top/Tintop. It was just inspected on 7/29/14. Clean title in hand. Just got out of the shop with a fresh motor from a 84 VW rabbit. New water pump, timing chain, tensioner, oil pressure sensor, coolant temp sensor, and new set of guages (oil, temp, and boost). Have receipt for $2500 spent this july to get this vehicle in tip top shape.

This is a rare machine and is in excellent condition for its age with a lot of custom modifications. Most notably is the swap to a 1.6L VW intercooled turbo diesel engine. Plenty of power and we have averaged over 30mpg on our mountain roads. Also has spring over axle conversion lift, alloy wheels, full size spare on matching alloy wheel, custom mossy oak interior, custom steel rock rails, Yakima Roof Rack system, nice (pioneer & alpine) stereo system, rear third jumpseat, custom front bumper with grill for intercooler and foglights, recent paintjob, recent clutch 10k ago, and probably more. Won't find too many like this one.

We have owned it 2 years and it was our regular drive to town car. 30-35mpg on our mountain roads and the power to run 55 uphill. I have owned a stock motor samurai and it was painfully underpowered. We looked long and hard for this vehicle and have yet to see another one as nice. It turns heads and gets waves on a daily basis.

Ok, so now that your drooling, here's the less great stuff. There are a few small spots where the paint is starting to bubble a bit. Mind you this is a 1988 and finding one without major rust damage is becoming very difficult. This sammy is sound with zero structural issues or frame rust problems. Drips a few drops of oil when parked for several days and smokes a bit on cold starts (it's an old school diesel). Lets see......The springs are stock and well, it's a SPOA sammy with 5 inches of lift. Get going 60+ on winding road and it can get squirrelly. It can drive anywhere but is more happy on backroads than the interstate. The full size spare is too large for the stock tire carrier. I made an adapter and had it on there for a few months but it rattled the rear door more than I like, so we removed it. Really will need a beefier tire carrier or smaller spare. Other than that, this thing is awesomesauce. Dont miss this one.

Contact me with any questions. Thanks.

Larger SX4 to lead raft of new or revised Suzuki models

Thu, 30 Aug 2012

A few weeks ago, we showed you what is likely in store for the next-generation Suzuki SX4, but What Car? now has some insider info of what might be in store for other products in the aging Suzuki lineup... at least in the UK.
When the official design sketch of the Suzuki S-Cross concept was released, Suzuki said that the concept car would be a C-segment crossover, closer in size to the Grand Vitara, and going up against some higher-volume rivals like the Ford Kuga (Escape) and Nissan Qashqai (similar to our Rogue). The Suzuki Grand Vitara is also due for a redesign, and both models will likely be on showroom floors together, with the Grand Vitara acting as the more rugged alternative to the hatchback-like SX4 replacement. Not much is known about the new Grand Vitara, but a new satellite navigation system is expected to debut in the SUV and eventually spread into other Suzuki models.
Suzuki will start selling the new SX4 and Grand Vitara in the United States this fall, and these two new crossovers should be a welcome addition to the company's diminutive U.S. dealer network that has been starved of product since the early 2000s. Automotive News adds a little gloom to this topic by pointing out that, after the introduction of the new SX4 and Grand Vitara this fall, American Suzuki has no new products planned through the 2015 model year. Suzuki dealers in Europe are more fortunate, as a refreshed version of the Jimny (formerly known as the Samurai here in the States) and an all-new Alto will both be joining the lineup.

Kei van campers are miracles of space utilization

Tue, Jun 22 2021

In the tight streets of Japan, tiny cars make a lot of sense, particularly the government-restricted kei class of cars. They're especially small with similarly small engines, and besides being easier to maneuver and park, they're also cheaper to own and run. But surely camping in one would be a somewhat cramped, unpleasant experience, right? Think again. YouTuber Tokyo Lens, someone who creates a variety of interesting videos about places, people and things in Japan, went on a camping trip with what seems to be a pop-top Suzuki Every kei van. He details his experience and highlights all the neat features crammed into the little space. It really is remarkable how much there is. We were particularly taken by the nice looking cabinetry, the fact that a person can pretty much fully stretch out in the pop top and that there's actually a microwave and a tiny sink with a water-tank-supplied faucet. Check out the whole video for a look at how much you can do with a small space, as well as some nice shots of the Japanese countryside. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Indian diamond merchant gives 600 new cars to his staff

Fri, Oct 26 2018

NEW DELHI — India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi helped a diamond merchant present hundreds of new cars as gifts to his employees on Thursday. Six hundred employees of Hari Krishna Exporters, a diamond trading company run by Savji Dholakia, received cars made by Indian manufacturer Maruti Suzuki, while around 1,000 more staffers were offered gifts of cash deposits and apartments in a huge outdoor ceremony in Surat, Gujarat. Indians often give each other gifts in the run-up to Diwali, a major Hindu festival celebrating the triumph of good over evil that this year falls on Nov. 7. Modi addressed the prize-giving in his home state of Gujarat via video link, as well as presenting some of the employees with car keys in the capital New Delhi. Dholakia is famous across India for giving lavish gifts to his employees at Diwali, including hundreds of apartments in 2016's ceremony. The showroom value of the 600 cars would be more than $2 million. Gift-giving in the latter part of the year when several Hindu festivals are celebrated provides a major boost to India's economy. The gifts were part of a program targeting staff who have given loyal service to the diamond trader. "The aim of this program was to reward employees' loyalty and dedication towards the company," Dholakia said in a Facebook post.Reporting by Alasdair Pal Related Video: Image Credit: Reuters Auto News Weird Car News Suzuki
