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. |

This is the facelifted Suzuki SX4 that we won't get
Tue, 05 Feb 2013The car you see above is, according to China Car Times, the facelifted Suzuki SX4 crossover. We've always had a soft spot for the SX4, so the fact that it's finally getting a significant update makes us a wee bit sad - after all, Suzuki just announced late last year that it's leaving the US market, so we'll never get this upgraded little 'ute on our shores.
Changes we can see include aggressively resculpted lighting units, interesting mold lines on the front bumper cap, redesigned air intakes and unique trim fillets on the doors.
At least we can take solace in the fact that there apparently aren't any significant alterations under the new bodywork, so our crop of used SX4s should be just as capable out on the road. In China, Suzuki's 1.6- and 1.8-liter four-cylinder engines are expected to carry over to the new year, along with the current model's CVT and manual drivelines.
Suzuki design chief discusses Tokyo e-Survivor SUV concept
Tue, Nov 7 2017Underdog Suzuki is one of the more mysterious Japanese brands. Rarely talked about, or indeed self-promoted, it quietly sold nearly 3 million vehicles worldwide in 2016 (alongside sister brand Maruti), and Suzuki has made some intriguingly original cars in recent years. Take the cute-but-tough Ignis city car SUV or the boxy-but-compact Hustler minivan, plus quite a few more. Autoblog took the chance to catch up with the automaker's relatively new head of design, Akira Kamio, at the recent 2017 Tokyo Motor Show to discuss Suzuki latest e-Survivor SUV Concept, plus his personal inspirations. The 54-year-old Kamio – whose design back catalog includes the concept and production Splash city car and second-generation Vitara small SUV, among others – says the beach-buggy-on-steroids show car "imagines a 2030 autonomous car with electric motors within each wheel on a ladder frame." That's a long way out in conceptual terms, as some of the vehicle's futuristic details suggest – rim sections that change color from green to blue according to mode aren't strictly necessary – but there is solid functional thinking to some of its more outlandish elements. Case in point, the see-through doors – long a staple of concept-car design from Italian masters such as Giugiaro and others – have been rendered here in a forward-thinking way. "When in autonomous mode the door glass goes opaque for privacy," Kamio said. "But when in off-road mode, the door glass automatically clears again so the driver can see the obstacles around it to help maneuver over rough terrain. This feature works on the model; it's a serious concept." As to the most relevant element of the e-Survivor's design for nearer-term vehicles, Kamio points to the five vertical slots with the Suzuki "S" logo in front of the center slot. A familiar design cue of the classic Jimny SUV, here this graphic is illuminated and set behind a black-tinted perspex-like cover. Kamio would not be drawn on when the next version of that long-running vehicle would arrive. But given that the third-generation version of the Jimny has been in production since 1998, the mark 4 is long overdue – even by the standards of Jimny's long manufacturing cycles – and is widely expected to arrive in 2018, taking proportional and design detail cues from the e-Survivor.
EU finds Jeep Grand Cherokee and Suzuki Vitara break emissions rules
Thu, Jan 23 2020AMSTERDAM — Fiat Chrysler's Jeep Grand Cherokee and Suzuki's Vitara diesel models both break emissions rules and must be fixed or face a ban on sales across Europe, the Dutch road authority ruled on Thursday. The RDW authority, acting as the reference regulator for across the European Union, said Jeep had developed a software fix and that the authority had ordered the company to recall the model across Europe to roll it out. It added Suzuki had yet to find a credible solution for the Vitara. "Suzuki must come with adequate improvement measures or the RDW will begin the process of revoking its European type approval," the RDW said in a statement, adding it had also started the process of revoking approval for the Jeep Grand Cherokee as a "precautionary measure." Regulators across the world have been testing diesel models since Volkswagen admitted in 2015 that it used illegal software to cheat U.S. emissions tests. The RDW said it had found both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Vitara had used "prohibited emissions strategies" that led them to emit higher levels of harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) on the road than under testing conditions. Dutch State Secretary for Infrastructure, Stientje van Veldhoven, said in a letter to parliament she would inform prosecutors of the RDW's findings. Fiat Chrysler and Suzuki could not immediately be reached for comment. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
