 After many wonderful years of ownership, finally selling our Samurai. The jeep was purchased new from our local Suzuki dealer back in 1988.

Over the past 10 years it has been relegated to a backup vehicle, used mainly for trips to the garden center. Stored under a carport 100% of the time.

We just got it back from our mechanic for a routine service and it is running great. It has recently passed the state inspection (2 weeks ago).
Recent items replaced are the starter, spark plugs, rotor button and distributor cap.  New battery about a year ago. The tires are about 85% tread life left and an upgrade in terms of brand and wider foot print (Goodyear GTAs I believe). The front two seats are upgraded cloth upholstered seats with side bolsters that fit nicely with the remaining stock interior. Recent carpet addition. Jeep is very clean inside and out.

New exterior door latches (aftermarket aluminum upgraded variety).

It has an aftermarket Sony radio that was a very nice model when it was new.  The jeep came factory equipped with air conditioning and is functional although it needs a belt.

It has the original paint that is very presentable with the exception of the ding here and there and a faded area (which can possibly be buffed out- never done prior). I captured them in the photos. The jeep always fires right up, no matter how long it sits without being driven. It has never been driven off road and the majority of mileage is highway going back and forth from North Carolina to Mississippi. 4WD only engaged a once or twice. Engine does not smoke nor require addition of oil between changes.

Selling it as it no longer gets driven regularly.

Clear title and current state inspection and registration.

Thanks for looking and please e-mail with questions.

Suzuki has to take out $45M loan just to shutter US dealers

Thu, 08 Nov 2012

Bloomberg reports American Suzuki is set to borrow up to $45 million to to close its automotive dealerships and freshen up its it motorcycle and marine business. Suzuki Motor Corporation will loan American Suzuki the funds at three percent below the London Interbank offered rate in order to offer dealer owners a cash payment in exchange for voluntarily abandoning franchise agreements. The company's 216 dealers have 10 days to make a decision on the matter. Under the plan, Suzuki would give dealer owners half of what they're owed in one lump sum, and the dealers would then be able to pursue the remaining debt through the company's bankruptcy procedure.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Scott C. Clarkson granted American Suzuki interim authority to borrow the funds, but Bloomberg reports the company will likely return to court in a few weeks to seek up to $100 million. According to Richard Pachulski, a lawyer for Suzuki America, the automaker may owe its dealers somewhere around $50 million.

Suzuki Vitara shows its face ahead of Paris debut

Thu, 28 Aug 2014

The death of Suzuki's American automotive operations can be chalked up to many, many things. One thing it cannot be blamed on, however, is the arguable goodness of its products. The company's criminally underrated offerings included the Kizashi sedan, the SX4 compact and your author's personal favorite, the Grand Vitara.
The GV rode on a radically different version of General Motors' Theta platform, which underpins the American manufacturer's current crop of crossovers, like the Chevrolet Equinox. What made the Grand Vitara special, though, was that it wasn't just another run-of-the-mill CUV. Buying the cheapest model meant living with rear-wheel drive rather than the Theta's typical front drive. Spend a bit of money, though, and you'd end up with an honest-to-goodness off-roader, sporting selectable four-wheel drive complete with low-range gearbox. It also comfortably sat five, was reasonably efficient and was quite handsome. We aren't totally sure how it turned into this.
This, of course, being the new Vitara (it replaces the Escudo, the vehicle Americans know as the Grand Vitara), and it will make its global debut at October's Paris Motor Show, which has ditched its four-wheel-drive system for a part-time all-wheel-drive system called Allgrip.

Suzuki heads rolling over fuel economy scandal

Wed, Jun 8 2016

Suzuki Motor Corporation executives admitted last month that the company had been falsifying fuel-economy tests for some of its vehicles. Today, it was announced that chairman Osamu Suzuki will not become CEO and executive vice president Osamu Honda will step down from his position at the next shareholder meeting, which takes place June 29. Executive bonuses for 2015 will also be eliminated or cut in half. The company is also promising to change its corporate culture so as to allow whistle blowers to get their messages heard. "Suzuki has a top-down culture and it's been difficult for voices from lower down to go to the management," Toshihiro Suzuki (Osamu's son) told reporters, according to Bloomberg. Both Suzuki family members will take a pay cut for the last half of 2016 (Osamu at 40 percent, Toshihiro at 30). Over 2 million Suzuki vehicles were involved in the fuel economy fakery. Japan's transport ministry is taking a closer look at company-submitted data after Mitsubishi and then Suzuki were found to have misled regulators and the public.
