History: This car has been good, reliable transportation for the 22 years since I bought it from the original owner in 1991. It has never been modified and has seen very little off-road usage, although the switchable hub locks and four wheel transmission work fine. I was hit once by someone backing into me while stopped, resulting in the replacement of a quarter panel 14 yrs. ago. Interior is a bit seedy, vinyl wall coverings need re-glueing or replacement, front seats have lambswool covers.. Car has never been driven on salted roads, although there is one dime-sized spot of rust, probably from water trapped near the driver's side rear window (pictured).
Defects: Missing passenger side window crank. Interior panel covers worn, seat fabric worn. Custom sound system does not function - good speakers and preamp, though.. Gas gauge does not function (I use the trip odometer and top off at 200 Mi.). Window channels could use new felt. Automatic choke disconnected, requires accelerator pressure until warmed up enough to hold idle. Alarm system in place but disconnected. Highway-type tires have decent tread left.
Repairs: In the last year, I've had substantial work done on it including a carburetor rebuild; new head gasket and timing belt; transmission housing seals and u-joint; rear wheel bearing and seals; brake pads and cylinders. This mostly involved replacing worn parts. Car is currently compliant on Calif. smog and has never failed the test. Each wheel has a locking lugnut (key included), also unopened half pint of original touch-up paint.
Ownership: The title is clear and I have recent maintenance records.
Delivery: Local pick up only
It's time for me to move on. While this car is hardly in showroom condition, it would be a good candidate for someone with more time and interest in restoration than I have. It is all original, in pretty good shape. It's a "tintop", which wasn't in production very long, so it is rare and they certainly aren't making any more of them.

Suzuki testing Grand Vitara replacement that is now forbidden fruit
Sun, 02 Feb 2014Suzuki 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.
VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle
Sat, 27 Jul 2013Volkswagen 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."
Larger SX4 to lead raft of new or revised Suzuki models
Thu, 30 Aug 2012A few weeks ago, we showed you what is likely in store for the next-generation Suzuki SX4, but What Car? now has some insider info of what might be in store for other products in the aging Suzuki lineup... at least in the UK.
When the official design sketch of the Suzuki S-Cross concept was released, Suzuki said that the concept car would be a C-segment crossover, closer in size to the Grand Vitara, and going up against some higher-volume rivals like the Ford Kuga (Escape) and Nissan Qashqai (similar to our Rogue). The Suzuki Grand Vitara is also due for a redesign, and both models will likely be on showroom floors together, with the Grand Vitara acting as the more rugged alternative to the hatchback-like SX4 replacement. Not much is known about the new Grand Vitara, but a new satellite navigation system is expected to debut in the SUV and eventually spread into other Suzuki models.
Suzuki will start selling the new SX4 and Grand Vitara in the United States this fall, and these two new crossovers should be a welcome addition to the company's diminutive U.S. dealer network that has been starved of product since the early 2000s. Automotive News adds a little gloom to this topic by pointing out that, after the introduction of the new SX4 and Grand Vitara this fall, American Suzuki has no new products planned through the 2015 model year. Suzuki dealers in Europe are more fortunate, as a refreshed version of the Jimny (formerly known as the Samurai here in the States) and an all-new Alto will both be joining the lineup.
