For sale is my 1987 Suzuki Samurai. I'm selling it for parts but it could very easily be a daily driver. It has been sitting for the last 8 years but somehow it runs and drives really well. It shifts nicely through all the gears and the four wheel drive works perfectly. The clutch feels fine but the brakes feel spongy but they do work (e-brake works as well), I believe they simply need to be bled which I'll try to do this week. The body is rusty and I began to remove the rusty panels including the driver and passenger floor pans (app $130 each) rear quarter panels ($100-$150 each) and rocker panels ($40 for the set). You can find all that stuff here on eBay or from Suzuki. The truck has rust spots in other body areas but I think they can fairly easily be repaired. The frame looks great, it's not rusty and its straight. I had planned on replacing panels with fiberglass which is what you see for quarter panels now, I do also have the rear fender flares. I also have the top (not pictured) which is decent and almost new when it was parked, it could be cleaned but it in good shape and functional. I have the carpets which are original and worn; I took them out to remove the floors and take the photos. The battery doesn't hold a charge well but I was able to start it without a jump the day after I drove it around. The key is also stuck in the ignition which may be why the battery is draining? I know its worth a lot more if I part it out but I'd really like to sell it as a whole as I know how much people love these things. Body parts for these cars are cheap, all the expensive stuff (engine, transmission, transfer case, frame) are great. I'm listing it for $1 with no reserve and I will sell it for the highest bid (even if it is $1). Feel free to ask questions and I am happy to show/allow test drives before the auction ends (provided I get the brakes bled or you are adventurous).

Suzuki offers sneak peek at Authentics concept for Shanghai
Sun, 31 Mar 2013Suzuki has prepared the C-segment Authentics concept for the Shanghai Motor Show, a preview of a sedan that would slot into the fattest chunk of the market among China's car buyers. Suzuki hasn't given away much, saying only that it is "Sporty x Elegant" and that it's long and low and has a "rich and fine curved surface."
PaulTan.org says this is the trunked version of the SX4 crossover, and if that's the case then it would represent a new approach to the SX4 in the region, offering markedly different styling instead of being, literally, an SX4 with a trunk. We'll know more when the Shanghai show opens in a couple of weeks, for now there's a press release with a tad more info on Suzuki's plans just below.
Suzuki previews new S-Cross compact CUV ahead of Paris debut
Fri, 10 Aug 2012Despite having one heck of a lackluster presence here in the United States, Suzuki still manages to do well in other markets. That in mind, the automaker continually releases new products and concept cars at international auto shows that aren't destined for U.S. consumption, but this might not be one of those times.
The aging SX4 crossover is in need of replacement, and if Suzuki is still committed to selling passenger cars in the States, something fresh like this S-Cross concept could be just the ticket. Suzuki has, after all, confirmed that the S-Cross will eventually make its way into production.
We have no other details to divulge about the S-Cross, except that it's a small crossover concept and that it will make its public debut at the Paris Motor Show in September. Suzuki says that the S-Cross has a "Emotion x Quality x Aerodynamics" design theme that uses "distinctive dynamic lines that start on the front bumper, sweep across the doors, and continue to the rear of the body." No offense, Suzuki, but we've heard that before.
Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.
