Great little truck has been my daily driver until new truck arrived.  1988.5, so it has the post-Consumer Reports changes.  Great 1.3l carbureted engine, 5 speed, 4x4 with manual hubs.  Zippy driver, 24-6 mpg, holds more than it looks like it will.  This was a Kentucky truck until 2011.

Spartan interior.  Heat works.  Wipers work, doors lock and open, etc.  In past six months have put in new starter, new GM alternator, new battery cables, new front rotors and pads.  Has Hella Vision Plus headlights that take modern replaceable bulbs -- very bright!  Put in airbox from a Dodge with magnum engine.  It isn't pretty but it breathes.

This was an amateur restoration by the previous owner to a decent standard.  Paint shines.  Please see the pics, this is a great 10-footer but some rust does show bubbling.  Frame is sound.  Door hinges are cut for easy door removal.  Lots of recent door and window seals on it, but ready for a new windshield seal.  Amateur tint has scratches, residue from tint on the windshield.  Original rear view mirror and sun visors are not present, previous owner put in a wide view mirror.

Includes the fold and tumble seat that is not mounted, and a brand new black carpet kit.  Also have a new set of floor plugs for the drain holes.

Excellent city car, great 4 wheeler, gets plenty of attention.  Not perfect, not a honda civic, not a Mercedes G-wagen, but an honest little Samurai.  Happy to work with your shipper.  Yes, I would drive it cross-country tomorrow, but I don't mind spartan rides or challenges that pop up.  You might not want to do so. 

The accident on the autocheck was before I bought it, someone hit the back end at low speed, I've put a new stock bumper on it since then.  I don't see any damage underneath.

This is a 26-year old vehicle sold as is.

Suzuki Swift gets a motorcycle-inspired wide body for Tokyo Auto Salon

Mon, Jan 6 2020

Tokyo Auto Salon is just around the corner, and companies such as Daihatsu and Mitsubishi have announced a slew of impressive custom cars. Suzuki has also announced its custom lineup, which is a bit humble this year at just three. They range from the wild Suzuki Swift Sport Katana to the mild Hustler Street Base. The Swift is the most impressive of Suzuki's show cars. Its name, and supposedly its looks, are based on the Katana sports bike. We're not sure they have that much in common beyond the silver and red paint job, but that's all right because this Swift still looks excellent. It features aggressive fender flares and a reworked front fascia. Bigger, wider wheels fit underneath those flares, and it has side-exit exhaust to cap off the extreme design. Next up is the Suzuki Jimny Sierra Marine Edition. Suzuki started with the wider Jimny Sierra model and fitted it with equipment for a day in and around the water. It has storage for fishing rods on either side and an interior covered in wetsuit material. The roof has been raised for extra interior space. The exterior also gets a garnish of visual upgrades such as custom wheels, chrome trim, paint scheme, auxiliary lights and tow rings. The third and final custom vehicle is the Hustler Street Base. It's fairly basic with a matte gray paint scheme, a few decals, and an upgraded audio system inside with some flashy lighting. Apparently it's designed for hip young people who live in the city and might be interested in extreme sports and an active lifestyle. Related Video:    

Suzuki testing Grand Vitara replacement that is now forbidden fruit

Sun, 02 Feb 2014

Suzuki might be dead in the US, but its cars are still thriving in many other markets. Aside from the updated SX4 and a slew of promising concepts at the Tokyo Motor Show, Suzuki is getting ready to launch a much-needed replacement for the aged Grand Vitara, and our spy photographers recently caught the compact SUV testing in Sweden.
Judging by these spy shots, the replacement for the current Grand Vitara - it may or may not retain the Grand Vitara name - will take its styling cues from the Suzuki iV-4 Concept displayed at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show. These cues include the narrow, angular headlights, the sloped D-pillars and we even get a hint of the sculpted rear-wheel arches. We hear that the new Suzuki SUV could go on sale in Europe next year, so we'd expect it to debut later in 2014.

Spiders Force Suzuki To Recall Midsize Cars

Wed, Aug 27 2014

Spiders have forced Suzuki to recall more than 19,000 midsize cars. The automaker says spider webs can clog a fuel vapor vent hose in some 2010 to 2013 Kizashi cars, cutting off air flow. If that happens, it can cause the gas tank to deform, causing cracks, fuel leaks and possible fires. The recall was prompted by seven reports of the problem. Service centers will replace the vent line with one that has a filter on the end. They'll also replace gas tanks if necessary. The problem hasn't caused any accidents or injuries in the U.S., Suzuki said in documents posted Wednesday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Owners will be notified this month. Those with questions can call Suzuki customer service at (800) 934-0934. American Suzuki Motor Corp. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November of 2012 and stopped selling automobiles in the U.S. The recall is the second caused by spiders this year. In April Mazda recalled 42,000 Mazda6 midsize cars in the U.S. with 2.5-liter engines for a similar problem. The recalled cars were from the 2010 through 2012 model years. Recalls Suzuki Safety spider
