Honest list of condition issues below : SEE PICTURES!!
  • Paint is good. Minor blemishes nics.
  • Tires are ok best tires on rear.
  • A/C works for the summer if charged.
  • Vanity light on passenger sun visor does work if you flick the little switch a bit.
  • Passenger side power window motor needs replacing along with the passenger side power lock plug and power window plug (cheap).
  • Weather stripping on drivers side windshield pillar is deformed at the top.
  • Drivers side t-top headliner is not attached but will be included.
  • Small defect in drivers t-top weather stripping (about 2inches) where it mates with window. This is the only spot where the t-tops would let in water and that only happened in a car wash really.
  • Small rust hole in the passenger side floor pan. Two rust holes on the drivers side floor pan. All in the pictures.
  • Rear drivers side body mount behind rear tire missing. Oddly enough this one mount just rusted off just noticed. Rest of the mounts look fine as far as I can see.
  • Smog pump has been removed but will include it along with the original valve covers.
  • Rear passenger side differential seal is wet. Have checked and even replaced the fluid in it with posi-traction/limited slip additive. Its never been low.
  • The power antenna is hooked to the radio but radio is newer CD player and does not operate the antenna motor. Antenna is currently in the up position.
  • The horn clicks but doesnt make a sound. Think the front horns need replacing.
  • Drivers side window regulator has slop and will need rebuilding (which is why the drivers windshield pillar weather strop is a bit crumpled at the top).
I listed honest condition here you should expect to fix if you purchase this vehicle. I want you to be happy with this vehicle and enjoy it as much as I have.

2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

Motorcycle trends come and go like fashion, and the latest two-wheeled style du jour is the adventure bike. Chunky and rugged, these (sometimes) dirt-ready rides often take cues from the massive, Armageddon-ready rigs you'd find on the Dakar Rally. In their most neutered form, they can start as street bikes and adapt for adventure duty by adding taller suspension setups, removable saddlebags, bigger fuel tanks, and better wind protection.
Lying smack in the middle of that dirt/road matrix (and leaning toward the tarmac side) is the 2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS. A venerable fixture in the adventure scene, it developed a primarily urban following after the model bowed in 2004, though it's also proved itself worthy of tackling trails and light offroad scenarios. For automotive folks not steeped in the vagaries of the motorcycle world, the V-Strom is the two-wheeled equivalent of the late, great Mitsubishi Montero: capable, no-nonsense, and a bit of an unsung hero in the face of more glamorous offroaders like the Land Rover LR4 and the Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen.

Car-crazy 5-year-old boy writes automakers for treasures, gets big response

Fri, Jan 25 2019

Part of the beauty of children is that they can find worth in something adults might deem unworthy or overlook entirely. Five-year-old Patch Hurty didn't see garbage or a broken piece of a car when he spotted a Ford badge lying on the side of a road. He saw an artifact, a souvenir, a start to a collection he could only dream of. Ezra Dyer of Popular Mechanics tells the story of Patch and his quest to turn that one lost badge into a museum of manufacturer logos. According to the article, Hurty is a car fanatic through and through, even using car names as a way of learning to read. After finding the Ford badge near his Connecticut home, he and his mom put together a plan to reach out to dozens of automakers, confessing his love of things on four wheels. In each letter, Patch assembled a picture of himself standing next to one of the cars, and a penny to pay for whatever he hoped was sent his way. The response was unexpectedly and overwhelmingly positive. Of the more than 50 letters he sent out, including to obscure or defunct companies such as Bugatti, Suzuki, and Saturn, a majority responded with warm notes and some type of souvenir. Two of the coolest responses came from Lincoln and Bentley. Lincoln sent a sketch of a Continental (all car lovers enjoy drawing cars, right?), and Bentley sent a wheel center cap. How awesome is that? The story reminds us of something that can easily be lost in all of the negativity involved with the auto industry: Everybody is in this because of a common infatuation with automobiles. For more details on the souvenirs Patch received and accompanying photos, read the rest of the story.

Mitsubishi CEO vows to stay in US on heels of Suzuki's departure

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

By now, you're surely aware that Suzuki is pulling out of the US market. It was a bit of a foregone conclusion to most who've been paying attention to the automotive realm, but it still sent a small shockwave through the industry. And one of the most oft-heard retorts goes something like this: "Next up: Mitsubishi."
It's easy to understand why many question Mitsubishi's existence in the States. After all, now that Suzuki is gone, Mitsubishi is the Japanese automaker with the fewest sales in America. Furthermore, the automaker's market share has dropped from .7 percent to just .4 percent after seeing sales fall 29 percent to 50,103 units through October.
In any case, Mitsubishi fans needn't worry. Speaking to Automotive News, Mitsubishi President Osamu Masuko said, "We have no intention whatsoever of withdrawing from the US market." That's about as clear as clear can get. It's also worth mentioning that Gayu Uesugi was just named chairman of Mitsubishi Motors North America, and his main responsibility will be to revitalize the brand in the US.
