For sale is my 1987 Suzuki Samurai. I'm selling it for parts but it could very easily be a daily driver. It has been sitting for the last 8 years but somehow it runs and drives really well. It shifts nicely through all the gears and the four wheel drive works perfectly. The clutch feels fine but the brakes feel spongy but they do work (e-brake works as well), I believe they simply need to be bled which I'll try to do this week. The body is rusty and I began to remove the rusty panels including the driver and passenger floor pans (app $130 each) rear quarter panels ($100-$150 each) and rocker panels ($40 for the set).  You can find all that stuff here on eBay or from Suzuki. The truck has rust spots in other body areas but I think they can fairly easily be repaired. The frame looks great, it's not rusty and its straight.  I had planned on replacing panels with fiberglass which is what you see for quarter panels now, I do also have the rear fender flares. I also have the top (not pictured) which is decent and almost new when it was parked, it could be cleaned but it in good shape and functional. I have the carpets which are original and worn; I took them out to remove the floors and take the photos. The battery doesn't hold a charge well but I was able to start it without a jump the day after I drove it around. The key is also stuck in the ignition which may be why the battery is draining? I know its worth a lot more if I part it out but I'd really like to sell it as a whole as I know how much people love these things. Body parts for these cars are cheap, all the expensive stuff (engine, transmission, transfer case, frame) are great. I'm listing it for $1 with no reserve and I will sell it for the highest bid (even if it is $1).  Feel free to ask questions and I am happy to show/allow test drives before the auction ends (provided I get the brakes bled or you are adventurous).

Incentives aid smooth Suzuki wind down

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

American Suzuki is continuing to offer buyers substantial incentives even as the company winds down operations. Those looking to nab a new Suzuki vehicle will find rebates of between $500 and $2,000 and zero-percent financing for up to 72 months as dealers look to liquidate inventory following the automaker's filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month. The strategy is working so far. Last month saw Suzuki sell a total of 2,224 vehicles, up 22 percent compared to the same time period in 2011. The Japanese manufacturer says it will continue the incentives through December.
Suzuki had around 5,000 units in dealer inventory in the US when it went into bankruptcy protection, with an additional 1,500-1,700 vehicles headed to dealers at that time. The company says it will continue to honor warranties moving forward using its current dealer network. Most of the dealerships will become Suzuki service and parts stores after American Suzuki shutters car sales in the US.

Suzuki demand in US rises after bankruptcy

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Following word that Suzuki is ceasing car sales in America, it appears that demand for the Japanese automaker's wares have increased. According to The Detroit News, American Suzuki Motor Corp. will import an additional 2,500 vehicles to quench demand that has jumped since the company announced that it was filing for bankruptcy and ending sales in America.
Dealers recently informed their sales personnel that no more vehicles would be produced and that this was the final push. With heavy incentives and a seven-year warranty as value-adds, November sales for Suzuki rose in November some 22 percent, up to 2,224 vehicles. December sales also rose, but neither month's gains outweigh the long-term losses for the automaker. While Suzuki will sell roughly 22,000 cars this year in the US, it was selling about 120,000 annually before 2008.
As it stands, Suzuki will sell off the rest of its vehicle inventory, including the 2,500 additional units, and dealers will continue to provide parts an warranty work. With all of this negative news for the automaker, it's impressive to see an interest in Suzuki vehicles even with the imminent shuttering of its North American car sales.

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.
