1988 Suzuki Samurai Jx Sport Utility 2-door 1.3l on 2040-cars
Alexandria, Virginia, United States
My 1988 Suzuki Samurai 4WD “soft-top” is for sale….sadly. I am the third owner in its 25 year life and have put a lot of TLC/money into it in time I have owned it. Here is the list (I may well have forgotten some stuff): Since April 2013- rebuilt engine with more recent enhancements to include new front engine seals, heater control valve, vacuum hose, timing belt and spark plugs, cam seal, coolant, and front crank seal (no more leaking oil on my new driveway!). In addition, I have added ($2500 worth I guess)
a new Alpine stereo (CD/Bluetooth with mike); four new speakers (two of which
are ‘outdoor style); new muffler and tailpipe; the original Suzuki Samurai
white Bikini top (incl. striped green storage bag); an OEM black bikini top,
AND a full canvas top which covers entire vehicle (see pic). And..a new LH drivers mirror, new horn,
carpet and mats throughout and a new chrome tow ball with bike rack. Paint is 95% perfect as is the
glass – tires are 99% brand new as well.
IF you are looking for an unmolested all original NO RUST 1988
Samurai, then you have arrived- IF you want a highly modified (or even
slightly modified) Samurai, then perhaps you will want to look elsewhere. This is one of a handful of Samurai’s in the USA with NO rust- hence the higher price. Once rust makes a 'beachhead' on these vehicles, it is almost impossible to stop it from spreading... |

Renault appoints Dacia Logan creator to head its Nano-rival program in India
Sat, 29 Dec 2012After watching the Tata Nano post sales numbers smaller than its engine displacement, Renault gave up on its much publicized intention to build a truly inexpensive car to rival it. Then, a month ago, reports emerged that Renault was resuming work on a couple of low-priced cars for emerging markets, but this time it would work with its in-house partner, Nissan. That plan envisions an offering for €3,000 ($3,888 US) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 US), both of which would be more spendy than the Nano but might avoid the charge of being cheap - and nasty - and instead be considered affordable.
A report in Reuters talks to the man in charge, Gerard Detourbet, who has been in Chennai, India since at least August working on the program. Detourbet led the Dacia Logan project and is considered "Renault's low-cost car specialist" and "the father of entry-car programs." This one is reportedly codenamed A-Entry and will create a "'sub-entry' architecture" that will provide roominess beyond the vehicle's price and class, and use an engine with a displacement of 800 cubic centimeters.
It isn't aimed at the Nano, though - it means to take on the products that make up 45-50 percent of India's car market, like the Maruti Suzuki Alto and Hyundai Eon. According to Reuters, out of the 2.6-million-strong Indian car market the Maruti Suzuki line-up alone nabs one million registrations annually. The Alto 800 begins at 244,000 rupees ($4,440 US), the Eon at 300,000 rupees ($5,559 US), the Chevrolet Spark at about 316,000 ($5,750 US); if Renault can nail its price targets it will just about bracket those three and be right in the game.
Suzuki recalling 184k GM-built models for fire risk
Fri, 23 May 2014Suzuki is recalling 184,244 total units of the 2004-2008 Forenza (pictured above) and 2005-2008 Reno manufactured under contract by Daewoo, now General Motors Korea, between September 1, 2003, through July 30, 2008, for a risk of fire. The exact split in terms of number of each model isn't available yet.
In the vehicles, the heat generated in the headlight switch or daytime running light module could cause the parts to melt and cause a fire. If this sounds somewhat familiar, it's the same reason that 218,000 units of the 2004-2008 Chevrolet Aveo are being recalled. According to General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler: "It's the same issue."
Adler explained that as the contracted manufacturer, GM is responsible for finding a remedy to this problem and providing it to Suzuki. It's a similar situation as Toyota recalling the Matrix and giving the automaker the repair parts to fix the Pontiac Vibe, which shares the platform.
Suzuki recalling 200K crossovers over airbag woes
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Suzuki may not be selling any new cars in the US anymore, but there are still plenty of them on American roads. Nearly 200,000 of those will need to be taken off said roads - for a little while, at least.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for 2006-2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara SUVs and 2007-2011 SX4 crossovers due to a faulty airbag sensor. The issue apparently results from the front passenger-side floor mat causing the Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensor to malfunction over time, so whether there's a kid or an adult in the front seat, the airbag could deploy in the event of a crash.
As a result, Suzuki Motor of America is calling in 193,936 vehicles to replace the front passenger-seat cushion assembly. That's a whole lot of cars to recall, but it comes as no big surprise. Owners can expect to be notified in October. Full details in the recall announcement below.
