This is a 1988 and a half Suzuki Samurai.  It is in excellent condition.  This is my third Samurai and it is by far the nicest (not only the nicest I have ever owned but the nicest I have ever seen).  I bought this a couple of years ago off of a certified mechanic.  The Samurai runs fantastic, no noises, smoke, or leaks of any kind.  Everything functions as new.  It has been the perfect little vehicle and has never let me down (ever).  It is inspected and has no problem doing 65 to 70 mph.  
Specs:  
-Rebuilt Transmission.  This was rebuilt by the certified mechanic I purchased it from.  I have pictures of the rebuild if needed.  
-31x10.5 all terrain tires (90% tread or better) on a 5 inch spring over axle lift (SPOA).  All of the work was done by After Market 4x4 who specializes in Samurais.
-Rocky Road outfitters front bumper (brush guard) with hitch.  And a triangle easy-tow-bar which is not pictured, but just makes it a dream to pull behind a motor home (which is what I used this vehicle for).  
-Tuffy Box center console (nice lockable armrest with 2 cup holders).
-Rear tow hitch with rack.
-Diamond plate side panels (running boards), door panels (interior), panels above rear tires (interior), and tail gate panel (interior).  

Body
-The certified mechanic that I purchased the vehicle from painted it and did a very good job.  The paint is thick and has orange peel texture to it but it looks fantastic and is practically scratch resistant.  There are not scratches on the vehicle at all.  There are a few small dings on the passenger side that are about penny side but they were too small to come out in photos and really are not noticeable at all.  The biggest imperfection on the vehicle is a small ding below the driver side head light (this is covered up by the front bumper and it is just a small ding, about 1 inch by 3 inches.  Sorry about all the details, I just want to be thorough.  The vehicle looks amazing, it is truly a beauty.  

Engine
-Engine runs great, no noise, smoke, or leaks and has plenty of power. 

THE BAD:
The seats do have a few rips but still function well.  I have seat covers on them that look great so I have never worried about getting them re-upholstered. 

Hope this is enough to give you guys a good idea on how nice this Samurai really is but if you have any questions please feel free to call me at 540-Seven One Eight-0192.  Any time after 5 PM Monday-Friday and anytime on the weekend (East Coast Time).  

I will ship the vehicle at the buyers expense or you can simply fly in and DRIVE IT HOME.  I drive the vehicle to a hunting lease about once a month (3 hour round trip).

Suzuki latest to admit to falsifying fuel economy tests

Wed, May 18 2016

Suzuki is the latest automaker to be snagged in the broadening scandal of fuel economy falsification. Reuters reports that the head of the Japanese industrial giant admitted that it did not use the proper standards when testing its cars for fuel consumption. "The company apologizes for the fact that we did not follow rules set by the country," said CEO Osamu Suzuki (pictured bowing to reporters), as reported by Reuters. Over 2 million Suzuki vehicles are estimated to be affected. However Suzuki maintains that the company did not intentionally lie or mislead the public or government regulators about its vehicles' economy figures. Japan's transport ministry has ordered domestic automakers to resubmit those figures this week. Though Suzuki withdrew from the North American automobile market nearly four years ago, it remains the fourth largest in Japan (following Toyota, Nissan, and Honda) with particular sales strength in the Kei car segment. Like Honda and Yamaha, the company makes a variety of motorized products, including motorcycles, ATVs, and marine engines. The revelation follows hot on the heels of Mitsubishi's falsification, which broadened in scope from a few Kei cars to every vehicle it has sold in Japan stretching as far back as 1991. The controversy lead to Nissan taking control of a third of Mitsubishi's stock. Prior to that, and on the other side of the world, Volkswagen admitted to engineering its diesel vehicles to cheat emissions tests. Government regulators around the world have launched investigations into numerous other automakers to see how much farther the growing epidemic of falsifying environmental credentials can spread.

Marchionne now considering 'Plan B' partners for FCA merger

Thu, Jun 11 2015

Okay Sergio, just stop. With the sting of rejection from General Motors CEO Mary Barra still fresh, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne is moving on and trying to find another automaker to merge with. FCA may not be giving up hope on a merger with GM, but that doesn't mean it isn't at least considering alternatives. Sergio's so-called "Plan Bs" include the Volkswagen Group, as well as smaller Asian outfits, like Mazda, Honda, Suzuki, and Hyundai. Bloomberg reports that France's beleaguered PSA Peugeot Citroen could as a sort of "fallback" option due to its relative lack of volume, an unidentified source claimed. There are, of course, problems with each option. According to Bloomberg, Volkswagen expects complete control of a company, but the Agnelli family, which holds a large portion of FCA stock, is loathe to relinquish its stake in the company. On top of that, VAG just isn't looking to make a deal right now. Mazda, meanwhile, is enjoying a new partnership with Toyota and Suzuki is partially owned by VW. Honda and Hyundai have never expressed any interest in a partnership with a western automaker. That kind of just leaves the French then, but even that remains a long shot. As Bloomberg tells it, PSA boss Carlos Tavares is still working on a turn-around plan, and would want at least another six months to execute before even considering a deal with FCA. And even then, Tavares hasn't given any indication that he's considering a pairing.

Suzuki Samurai lives on with new Jimny facelift

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

The Suzuki Jimny is "sold across 188 global markets," but one of them isn't ours. For UK buyers who can buy a Jimny in SZ3 or SZ4 trims, the 2013 model has just been introduced with tweaks peppered throughout the vehicle. First among them is a soft redesign up front, a new bumper, grille and hood updating the face and adding an extra 30 mm to the length of the little SUV. Breeze Blue metallic paint is a new hue but it's only available on the more expensive SZ4.
Inside, customers will find new headrests and ISOFIX child seat fasteners for both Jimny versions, and for the SZ3, new seat fabrics. The 1.3-liter engine with variable valve timing growls out 84 horsepower and 81 pound-feet of torque, returning 39.8 Imperial combined mpg if fitted with a manual, 38.7 Imperial mpg combined in the automatic.
On-the-road prices are £11,995 ($19,016 US) for the SZ3, £12,900 ($20,451 US) for the manual-equipped SZ4, £13,800 ($21,877 US) with the automatic. More information can be found in the press release below.
