1987 Samurai 4x4, Low Miles, New Engine/front Suspension on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
|
This Samurai is a 1987 4x4 soft-top 1.3L with many new features. It has been a great daily driver since I've had it the past 4 years. It's a beautiful and fun vehicle with tons of personality. It just made a 2,100 mile trip from Kentucky to Los Angeles in 3 days with no problems. It has a new engine head and a remanufactured engine that runs very strong. It has been a project car of my father and myself for the past few years. The entire front suspension (see details below) was replaced so there are NONE of the infamous wobble issues. However, being a 17 year old vehicle, it recently developed some other mechanical issues that I don't have the time to fix and am moving on to something more reliable (see below). Registered Kentucky title in hand. Newly replaced parts:
Features:
Exterior: The body is in great shape for an '87 with no rust on the frame and a new paint job. It looks very sharp with very minor scratches and a small ding on the passenger side door (see picture). The windshield has has a couple dings where rocks hit but no cracks. The trim below the doors was taken off and the metal sanded down and painted but there are the holes still there where the previous trim was inserted. Interior: The interior is in fair shape. The floors have a Rhino Liner. The vinyl seats are in good shape with no major tears or cracks, the dash is a little beaten up but still looks decent. Also there is no radio but all the wiring is still there. Windows and locks all work. no tears in the soft-top. Known Issues: The vehicle was driving great and I was using it everyday then one day after I had just driven it I went to start it and the engine would begin to turn over but then the starter would make a screeching noise. I spoke to a mechanic and he showed me that the starter itself was loose and wasn't able to engage, he assured me it was an easy fix. I'd do it myself but I don't want to have to deal with it so I'm selling as is. Also the clutch acts up after the car has been driven for more than 15 minutes. It shifts fine, but after the car is warmed up it begins to grind a little in 1st and 2nd gears, no idea what that could be, but it is absolutely drivable. Could be a very simple fix or something else. With a little TLC this could be a great and fun vehicle, the engine runs strong and the new front-end suspension, tires and excellent body frame condition make it a great Sami to fix up or use for parts. Other known issues:
The vehicle currently will NOT start and is sold AS-IS. I have it parked right next to a mechanic and can have it fixed for reimbursement so it will be drivable, or you can pick it up. I can also assist in delivery, but the buyer is responsible for paying to acquiring the vehicle. Payment from the buyer should be made by cash, check or Paypal within 3 days of the auction ending. If it is a check I will have to wait for the funds to clear before signing over the title. |

Suzuki bringing compact iV-4 to Frankfurt
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Even though American Suzuki Motor Corporation filed for bankruptcy last year and stopped selling cars in the US and Canada as part of its reorganization, there are still plenty of countries around the world where Suzuki continues to sell autos. For those markets, the automaker is working on a compact sport-utility vehicle, called the iV-4, which will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
Suzuki says the iV-4 "embodies the basic ruggedness of an SUV," and that its styling is modern and innovative. We'll have to take Suzuki's word on that one, though the teaser above certainly looks the part, with the grille reminding us of the one found on the Jeep Grand Cherokee (minus a few slats, of course).
Scroll down for the short-and-sweet press release, and expect the full brace of information to be revealed in September.
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.
Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
