 The Samurai is in great condition for its age.  The seats are in nice shape (see pics) and the original interior is still in the vehicle. The 4x4 also has a sun roof! This Samurai was first owned by my aunt, who drive it 10mi per day to get to the commuter van.  She carpooled and this truck was just to and from the start of the carpool.  She then bought a Honda Accord and gave this Suzuki to my grandpa.  Grandpa used the truck for "Sunday drives" and kept it meticulously maintained.  Grandpa Ruccio had some mechanical skills and was employed by a hot dog factory to keep the machinery running. He loved to tinker and kept the maintenance up on the truck.  I just recently got the truck from Grandpa and have been using it as my daily driver commuter vehicle.  It is a fun ride and economical on gas!!!! But, this vehicle does not have enough room for our growing family and I must put it up for sale.

The truck runs and there is very little rust on the body or undercarriage.  I can take more pictures if you request them by email. But, I have tried to take as many pictures as possible to show the condition of the truck.  There are some small dents on both the driver side and passenger side above the bumper. The truck is being sold as is condition.  Although, the low miles on the motor is a good indication that this truck is just getting started.  Plenty of aftermarket options for building a 4WD from this truck.  The hard top version is unique and a nice alternative to the soft tops.

Please ask more questions and I will quickly answer.

If you are the winning bidder for this truck I require $500 dollar deposit into my PayPal account within 24hrs of the auction end.  You must arrange a way to pick up or ship the Samurai to you after the auction has ended. The vehicle must be pain in full using cashiers check or cash and must be paid for in full before it is picked up to be shipped or driven away.

The vehicle is also being sold locally so this auction could end at any time.

Thanks for looking!

Suzuki's next Jimny won't veer too far from The Way Of The Samurai

Sat, Nov 29 2014

Suzuki might be gone as an automaker in the US, but the brand is still driving along in other parts of the world. In fact, it even has new products in the pipeline and among them is a replacement for the venerable Jimny compact SUV (better known as the Samurai in America). The last all-new Jimny hit the market back in 1998, but the little SUVs have grown quite a cult following, especially in the UK. Farmers love them because the compact vehicles can go just about anywhere, thanks to a relatively high ground clearance, small size and four-wheel drive. With the new generation due in 2017, according to Top Gear, that's nearly 20 years of hard work for this off-roader. Though, Suzuki refreshed the Jimny slightly for the 2013 model year (pictured above) across the pond with a revised front end. Don't expect the future iteration to go soft, though. Unlike the similarly long-lived Land Rover Defender, which is rumored to be a bit friendlier in its next generation, Suzuki wants keep the model's abilities as capable as possible, while adding some modern assistance systems. "The next Jimny will be an evolution. It will follow the same recipe. When you see it you'll know it's a Jimny," said the automaker's UK sales boss Dale Wyatt to Top Gear. "If you were a sheep farmer in the Scottish hills you'd see the car is perfect; no argument to change it." If all these promises about the future come true, we might get to hear about the Jimny driving around the world or pulling a huge truck out of the snow for many years to come.

Suzuki recalling 23k GSX-R750 and GSX-R1000 bikes to replace chain adjuster

Sat, 18 Oct 2014

Suzuki is known for having a pair of very capable sportbikes in its GSX-R750 and GSXR-1000, but now the Japanese company is recalling 23,073 of them in the US to replace the chain adjuster. Specifically, the campaign affects 2011-2014 model year versions of the 750 and the 2009-2014 1000.
According to documents from The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the problem can occur if riders miss a gear while upshifting. It's possible that the following shift might put enough added strain on the drivetrain to move the rear axle. This can damage the left-side chain adjuster. If there's too much harm done to the part, then the chain could potentially slip off the bike, leaving the powerless bike more vulnerable to a crash.
To fix the problem, Suzuki dealers will "replace the left-side adjuster with an improved part" that will be heat-treated to be stronger. Scroll down to read the full recall report.

Suzuki previews new S-Cross compact CUV ahead of Paris debut

Fri, 10 Aug 2012

Despite having one heck of a lackluster presence here in the United States, Suzuki still manages to do well in other markets. That in mind, the automaker continually releases new products and concept cars at international auto shows that aren't destined for U.S. consumption, but this might not be one of those times.
The aging SX4 crossover is in need of replacement, and if Suzuki is still committed to selling passenger cars in the States, something fresh like this S-Cross concept could be just the ticket. Suzuki has, after all, confirmed that the S-Cross will eventually make its way into production.
We have no other details to divulge about the S-Cross, except that it's a small crossover concept and that it will make its public debut at the Paris Motor Show in September. Suzuki says that the S-Cross has a "Emotion x Quality x Aerodynamics" design theme that uses "distinctive dynamic lines that start on the front bumper, sweep across the doors, and continue to the rear of the body." No offense, Suzuki, but we've heard that before.
