Suzuki Samurai 4x4 1988 (1988.5) Rust Free on 2040-cars
Linden, Virginia, United States
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). Ebay member for 10 years with 100% positive feedback so bid with confidence. |

Suzuki latest to admit to falsifying fuel economy tests
Wed, May 18 2016Suzuki 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.

Trick motorcycle rider breaks world record for fastest wheelie
Tue, Sep 29 2015The world record for the fastest wheelie ever was broken last week in a British racing event by certifiably crazy man Gary Rothwell. It goes without saying, but we'll say it anyway: don't try this at home, kids. On September 20, in at an airstrip in York, England, Rothwell rode his 540-horsepower turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa 209.8 miles per hour over while balancing entirely on his rear wheel. Rothwell beat the previous world record by a whopping 10 miles an hour, according to Gizmag. Rothwell was going overboard to ensure he cinched the title. He was still miffed over his failure to break the record last month. He only reached 197.8 miles per hour in that attempt, just shy of it. Rothwell also holds world records for being the fastest man on skis, which involved him jumping off the back of his bike and being pulled along at 150 miles per hour on titanium skis. He completed the wheelie at the last Straightliners Top Speed event of the year. Straightliners is known for hosting the fastest of anything. This year featured everything from a shed that traveled over 88 miles per hour to a jet-powered shopping cart. They also welcome trick riders of all flavors to come and share their expertise.

Remembering Suzuki of America... in commercials
Wed, 07 Nov 2012American Suzuki Motors is leaving us, but as long as the lights are on at YouTube, its commercials will stay behind to remind of the times we shared. We dug up nine commercials - sort of like a Time Life infomercial for an entire brand - and among the starring actors are the X-90 improving the 90s with the help of a Pez dispenser, the Peter Pan-ish Sidekick, Optimus Prime getting his pipes all smoked up over the 1987 Samurai and an XL7 that would have sold in the millions if its commercial were even half true.
We've also included a remarkably oddball eight-minute featurette/commercial about a giant Suzuki Swift. You'll find the retrospective in the videos below. Enjoy.
