NO RESERVE, min. bid $7400. If you bid you are committing to PURCHASE this vehicle. $500 deposit due within 48 hours after close of auction and full payment within 7 days. I will not ship but will make available for pickup. It has a tow bar and wiring so it can be towed anywhere or you can drive it anywhere. (I drove it from San Diego to Minnesota when I bought it)

NO TRADES, WILL NOT SELL PARTS, and will not sell outside of the ebay auction.

I purchased this rare 1986 tin top Samurai in 2008 from a close friend in San Diego. He used it to tow behind his motorhome. Since I have owned it I have stored it in an enclosed trailer from Oct.-April every year. It's never seen snow. It is rust free with the exception of the surface spots shown in the pics. It is 90% stock and original. The only modifications are a new exhaust, new door straps, add-a-leaf springs on all four corners (easily removed if you want) to give about an inch and a half of lift to allow for the five brand new BF Goodrich Long Trail T/A 215/75-15 tires, which are a bit taller than stock, the carb vent tube, the tow brackets and wiring, and new window channel rubber. Everything else is original including the mud flaps, trailer hitch etc.

It runs great, the interior is good, the seats are good with the exception of the vinyl split on the drivers seat back. They need to be cleaned! If selling price exceeds $7500 I will include a grey fabric Rugged Ridge Samurai seat !!

Everything works, the carpet is like new, 4x4 works flawlessly. The body is straight and correct. Fan has all speeds, intermittent wipers work, radio works, clock works, etc.

INCLUDES Suzuki SHOP MANUALS and VEHICLE COVER ! ! Also includes many extra little parts, wiper blades, spare door mirror(new) cubby hole door, and other misc. stuff. (I might have air and oil filters around too, but no promises) The tow bar attaches in minutes, and it's wired so all you do is plug it in to your vehicle trailer plug and then the rear lights, turn signals, etc work along with your vehicle lights.

The paint has faded in spots, see the pics, it is worn off on the driver's side interior at the base of the window (where your arm hangs out in the summer!) the paint on the top of the bumper is faded, and the paint under the rear door lock is flawed. There are a couple small dings on the passenger side of the hood apparently from the roof rack bracket contacting it when it was lifted into place. The stripes are cracking in spots from the sun.

If you have any questions, please ask BEFORE bidding.

205k Suzuki models being investigated for airbag sensor issue

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation on the 2006-11 Suzuki Grand Vitara and 2007-11 Suzuki SX4 due to issues with the airbag and seatbelt for the front passenger seat. So far, NHTSA has received 128 complaints on these vehicles for airbag warning lights, airbag off lights and seatbelt lights, on a vehicle set that totals around 205,000 units, but there is no indication as to how many, if any, injuries have reported.
Via technical service bulletins, Suzuki has already acknowledged two airbag-related issues with front passenger seats on both vehicles, including a programming error for the passenger seat load indicator on 2009 models and an open-circuit problem for the sensor mat that determines if an adult or child is sitting in the front seat. Since this latter issue would not shut off or lessen the impact of the passenger airbag, Suzuki has already extended the warranty for the seat cushion bottom to 10 years or 120,000 miles. After ceasing new-car sales in the US and Canada, potential recall repairs (which still may or may not happen) would be handled by remaining dealers as laid out in the recent court-approved bankruptcy plan.

Suzuki Jimny displays Samurai spirit in Japanese snowstorm

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Say what you will about its smallest SUVs, but you have to hand it to Suzuki: the likes of the Samurai, Sidekick and Vitara were doing the little-sport-ute-that-could thing long before most of the rest of the industry caught on. And the formula remains relevant enough that Suzuki is still selling the same basic Samurai overseas as the Jimny.
That could be why the Samurai still has something of a cult following. Well, that and the name - which, as it turns out, may not have been such a stretch after all. A Samurai warrior, after all, was just one man - but like any other knight, he was worth more than his headcount on the battlefield. Or in this case, a Japanese snowstorm. Just watch the half-minute video below to see what we mean.

Suzuki sallies forth with new C-segment crossover with fishy S-Cross Concept

Thu, 27 Sep 2012

It's not what we'd call attractive, really, but at least the new S-Cross Concept is something fresh from Suzuki. Introduced to the world at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, Suzuki says the pale green machine previews its upcoming production C-segment crossover.
We hope some of its fishier elements - according to Suzie, the specially created Crystal Green Metallic body color evokes "nature in the city and the city in nature", whatever that means - remain in the conceptual pond, but either way, it's good to see that the Japanese automaker hasn't lost its will to compete in a heated segment of the market. In fact, Suzuki promises that the S-Cross "will be the first in an ambitious program of annual European model launches which Suzuki will be starting in 2013. "
What are the chances we'll see a production version of this crossover concept in the U.S.? Your Magic 8 Ball is as good as ours... In any case, feel free to peruse the press release below.
