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 Kizashi recalled due to pesky spiders
Wed, 27 Aug 2014Spiders seem to love the fuel tanks of Japanese sedans. Mazda had to recall its Mazda6 twice for arachnid webs blocking their car's vent lines. Now, the Suzuki Kizashi is also being called in because spiders can block the car's evaporative canister vent hose, a condition which could cause excessive negative pressure in the tank, eventually leading to a crack and fuel leak. The campaign covers about 19,249 examples of the 2010-2013 model year Kizashi built from October 2009 through July 2012.
According to the automaker's defect notice released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the first report of a spiderweb blocking a vent line was in 2011. It began monitoring field data and found six more incidents from 2011 to 2013. In 2014, there was one more case, and with further investigation, Suzuki decided to initiate a recall. There are no reports of accidents or injuries of the webs causing accidents or injuries in the US.
In a similar move to Mazda, Suzuki is replacing the evaporative canister vent line with one that has a filter in place to keep the spiders out. Also, if the lines are obstructed by webs in a specific vehicle, the fuel tank will also get swapped. Scroll down to read the full recall announcement from NHTSA.
Suzuki recalling 23k GSX-R750 and GSX-R1000 bikes to replace chain adjuster
Sat, 18 Oct 2014Suzuki is known for having a pair of very capable sportbikes in its GSX-R750 and GSXR-1000, but now the Japanese company is recalling 23,073 of them in the US to replace the chain adjuster. Specifically, the campaign affects 2011-2014 model year versions of the 750 and the 2009-2014 1000.
According to documents from The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the problem can occur if riders miss a gear while upshifting. It's possible that the following shift might put enough added strain on the drivetrain to move the rear axle. This can damage the left-side chain adjuster. If there's too much harm done to the part, then the chain could potentially slip off the bike, leaving the powerless bike more vulnerable to a crash.
To fix the problem, Suzuki dealers will "replace the left-side adjuster with an improved part" that will be heat-treated to be stronger. Scroll down to read the full recall report.
Suzuki has to take out $45M loan just to shutter US dealers
Thu, 08 Nov 2012Bloomberg reports American Suzuki is set to borrow up to $45 million to to close its automotive dealerships and freshen up its it motorcycle and marine business. Suzuki Motor Corporation will loan American Suzuki the funds at three percent below the London Interbank offered rate in order to offer dealer owners a cash payment in exchange for voluntarily abandoning franchise agreements. The company's 216 dealers have 10 days to make a decision on the matter. Under the plan, Suzuki would give dealer owners half of what they're owed in one lump sum, and the dealers would then be able to pursue the remaining debt through the company's bankruptcy procedure.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Scott C. Clarkson granted American Suzuki interim authority to borrow the funds, but Bloomberg reports the company will likely return to court in a few weeks to seek up to $100 million. According to Richard Pachulski, a lawyer for Suzuki America, the automaker may owe its dealers somewhere around $50 million.
