Moody, Alabama, United States

Up for auction is a nice 1988.5 samurai.  Most of this Sammy's life was spent behind a motor home. This Sammy has never been off pavement. There is no rust that I have found anywhere on this vehicle. There is a dent in front left side of bumper from tow bar (see pic) also some sort of touch up paint has been applied under the handle on rear tailgate door, also see pic. There is a few minor scratches on vehicle that are expected for a vehicle of this age. 
The motor runs out great with no smoke what so ever, engine cranks very quickly and easy even in cold weather. Every seal and gasket has been replaced on motor within the last 800 miles along with timing belt,idler pulley, plugs,wires,distributor cap,Venturi tube in carb,fuel pump etc. (have all receipts) has new factory style/size white wall tires, new top with tinted windows on top, ( have original factory top from 1988 as well) , new brakes, steering stabilizer, poly bushing for shifter in transmission and transfer case, pioneer CD player, 2" trailer hitch receiver, spare tire mounted on tailgate with cover, front (bra) used when towed behind motor home, has back seat that also folds up or can be removed, has all original factory carpet.
Seats have covers over them due to thread in original seat covering seems have turned loose. The small door on dash above vent is missing, and plastic hinge on glove box is broke.
Underneath Sammy is all factory original, it still has the factory paint on underside of body and frame that matches the outside of body( very rare to see now days)
Also have rebuild kit for transmission and transfer case,new clutch, and a new flywheel. I bought all this thinking it needed to be rebuilt due to a whining noise, turns out the noise was water pump and timing belt tensioner and I never returned these parts. The transmission,transfer case and clutch are all quite,tight and in perfect operating order. Vehicle runs well enough to drive across country but is speed demon, 65-70 is all Sammy will do safely, or with me driving it anyway.it is getting around 28 mpg around town, cost around $21 to fill up.  
Chrome beauty rings on wheels do have a bit of old surface rust on them.

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Way 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.

VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle

Sat, 27 Jul 2013

Volkswagen 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."

Court approves Suzuki bankruptcy plan

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Suzuki has won approval for its Chapter 11 plan to stop selling cars in the US and concentrate instead on the company's powersports products. Judge Scott C. Clarkson of the US Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California approved the plan after the company's creditors agreed to the conditions.
Suzuki will now sell its motorcycle, ATV and marine divisions to the newly minted Suzuki Motor of America subsidiary under the Suzuki name. The new company will be wholly owned by Suzuki Motor Company. This is the final piece of the company's restructuring puzzle.
The company says it will now be able to grow its powersports businesses here in the US and also provide auto parts and service to current Suzuki owners through what's left of the company's dealer network. You can check out the brief press release on the bankruptcy plan below.
