Newport, Minnesota, United States

NO RESERVE, min. bid $7400.  If you bid you are committing to PURCHASE this vehicle. $500 deposit due within 48 hours after close of auction and full payment within 7 days. I will not ship but will make available for pickup. It has a tow bar and wiring so it can be towed anywhere or you can drive it anywhere. (I drove it from San Diego to Minnesota when I bought it) 

NO TRADES, WILL NOT SELL PARTS, and will not sell outside of the ebay auction.

I purchased this rare 1986 tin top Samurai in 2008 from a close friend in San Diego.  He used it to tow behind his motorhome.  Since I have owned it I have stored it in an enclosed trailer from Oct.-April every year.  It's never seen snow.  It is rust free with the exception of the surface spots shown in the pics. It is 90% stock and original.   The only modifications are a new exhaust, new door straps, add-a-leaf springs on all four corners (easily removed if you want)  to give about an inch and a half of lift to allow for the five brand new BF Goodrich Long Trail T/A 215/75-15 tires, which are a bit taller than stock,  the carb vent tube, the tow brackets and wiring, and new window channel rubber. Everything else is original including the mud flaps, trailer hitch etc. 

It runs great, the interior is good,   the seats are good with the exception of the vinyl split on the drivers seat back. They need to be cleaned!  If selling price exceeds $7500 I will include a grey fabric Rugged Ridge Samurai seat !!

Everything works, the carpet is like new, 4x4 works flawlessly. The body is straight and correct.  Fan has all speeds, intermittent wipers work, radio works, clock works, etc.   

INCLUDES Suzuki SHOP MANUALS and VEHICLE COVER ! !   Also includes many extra little parts, wiper blades, spare door mirror(new)  cubby hole door, and other misc. stuff. (I might have air and oil filters around too, but no promises)  The tow bar attaches in minutes, and it's wired so all you do is plug it in to your vehicle trailer plug and then the rear lights, turn signals, etc work along with your vehicle lights.

The paint has faded in spots, see the pics, it is worn off on the driver's side interior at the base of the window (where your arm hangs out in the summer!) the paint on the top of the bumper is faded, and the paint under the rear door lock is flawed.  There are a couple small dings on the passenger side of the hood apparently from the roof rack bracket contacting it when it was lifted into place.  The stripes are cracking in spots from the sun.  


If you have any questions, please ask BEFORE bidding.

VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle

Sat, 27 Jul 2013

Volkswagen and Suzuki have been undergoing marriage counseling in a bid to avoid finalizing their nasty divorce. The blissful union has been troubled for some time, with Volkswagen claiming that it could affect operational decisions at Suzuki, and the Japanese brand's sniping and constant flirting with a certain Italian temptress causing rifts.
The matter first went to court in 2012, when Suzuki demanded VW get out, and leave its 19.9-percent stake in the Japanese brand in a box to the left. Now, Automotive News is reporting that the company will give the relationship one last shot, according to closed-door dealings between the two in London.
Still, it's understood that VW and Suzuki recognize the benefit of their alliance, and that it'd be in the best interests of the kids both parties to make things work. Spokespeople declined to comment to AN, but the newsmagazine spoke with Frank Biller, an analyst for LBBW in Stuttgart, who said, "Both companies stand to benefit if they can overcome the disagreements over leadership claims."

Come see all the cool cars in Geneva that we don't get in America

Mon, Mar 12 2018

The Geneva Motor Show is usually the highlight of auto show season. There are always a ton of interesting debuts. This year alone, we saw new models from McLaren, Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes-AMG and more. That doesn't count the ridiculous and tasteless stuff that comes out of Brabus or Mansory. Personally, one of the biggest reasons I enjoy going is to see all the cool stuff that we won't get in America. Watch the video for a brief walkaround of the show floor. Even the city streets offer unusual sights for Americans. Geneva is so close to France that there are Citroens, Peugeots and Renaults everywhere. Then there are cars like the Volkswagen Polo and Up! or a multitude of wagon variants of cars like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4 and A6. Even the exotics come out in droves. There was a Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer parked along a side street. There were two Lamborghini Aventadors parked outside our hotel. Just Geneva things.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
