I bought this about a year ago. Since then I have replaced the stock carb with a Weber conversion, powdercoated a few engine parts, and installed a tach. Also has a new battery and exhaust. The carb has a manual choke routed to the left of the steering wheel. Since installing the Weber I have consistently hit 27-30MPG. This thing is a blast to drive. Chances are if you are looking at this you know what it is. Other than the above listed, it is stock. No suspension lift or larger wheels and tires. Everything works! Hubs lock, 4x4 works. Even the wiper squirters work.

Motor: stock 1.3L with the Weber carb. New exhaust is minus the cat. converter. I was told by the previous owner that the motor was freshened up but I have no proof. I will state that the alternator and water pump look new. Fires right up and runs great.

It is CLEAN as far as rust goes. The underside is solid. Rockers are solid. You will notice surface rust near the hinges, around the battery box, and a few spots under the rear windows (see pics). The bottoms of the doors are completely solid but have a few surface rust spots. I have had this garaged since I bought it and refused to drive it during the winter due to how rust free it is. The paint is not show quality but still looks good and appears to be original. There is a dent on the drivers rear corner (see pic). The interior is stock and seats have small tears. Back seat included but removed as I transport my dog in the back. Glove box door hinge is broken but door stays in place.

Now for the bad: oil leak from bottom end (either pan or rear main), second gear synchro is starting to go. Still shifts fine if you are used to it, but if not second will grind. The interior floor looks bad and carpet is shot. If I were going to keep it I would Linex the inside, fix the leak, and deal with the trans until I had the time to pull it. I am trying to be as honest as possible and have therefore pointed out as much negative as I can. These are all easy fixes for most. This sammy is not all cut up and beat on. It would make an excellent starting point for a new build or simply a great driver to tool around in.

Feel free to contact me. Come by for a look and test drive. Mileage currently at 90,000. Cash only

American Suzuki Motors files chapter 11, will no longer sell cars in the United States

Mon, 05 Nov 2012

As much as we knew it was a possibility, we have to say that Suzuki's announcement this afternoon that it is filing chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings caught us a bit off guard. American Suzuki Motor Corporation - the sole distributor of Suzuki automobiles in the United States - will realign its business to focus on motorcycles, ATVs and the marine market.
What does this mean in simple terms? In short, new Suzuki cars and trucks will no longer be sold by Suzuki in the United States once current supplies run out. Period.
Suzuki cites "low sales volumes, a limited number of models in its lineup, unfavorable foreign exchange rates, the high costs associated with growing and maintaining an automotive distribution system in the continental US and the disproportionally high and increasing costs associated with stringent state and federal regulatory requirements unique to the US market."

Suzuki recalling 2,800 XL7 models over faulty fuel pump

Sat, 29 Dec 2012

A 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.

2023 Japan Mobility Show Mega Photo Gallery: All the highlights and reveals from Tokyo

Fri, Oct 27 2023

The 2023 Japan Mobility Show managed to serve up a surprise heap of exciting and futuristic designs and production reveals. Our staff was on the ground in Tokyo for this year's show, where we captured not just all of the latest automotive trends, but some genuinely weird and fascinating stuff. Browse: Some Delightful Oddities of the 2023 Japan Mobility Show But on to the cars. This year's show featured introductions from Daihatsu, Honda, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota. Some are weird; some are wild; most are probably destined to change significantly before production or merely fade into the void with the rest of the industry's vaporware, but if even a few of these make it to showrooms, we'll consider it a win. Scroll on down for our live galleries of each of the show's major debuts (and cars we're only now seeing in person for the first time). Enjoy!
