After many wonderful years of ownership, finally selling our Samurai. The jeep was purchased new from our local Suzuki dealer back in 1988.
Over the past 10 years it has been relegated to a backup vehicle, used mainly for trips to the garden center. Stored under a carport 100% of the time.
We just got it back from our mechanic for a routine service and it is running great. It has recently passed the state inspection (2 weeks ago).
Recent items replaced are the starter, spark plugs, rotor button and distributor cap. New battery about a year ago. The tires are about 85% tread life left and an upgrade in terms of brand and wider foot print (Goodyear GTAs I believe). The front two seats are upgraded cloth upholstered seats with side bolsters that fit nicely with the remaining stock interior. Recent carpet addition. Jeep is very clean inside and out.
New exterior door latches (aftermarket aluminum upgraded variety).
It has an aftermarket Sony radio that was a very nice model when it was new. The jeep came factory equipped with air conditioning and is functional although it needs a belt.
It has the original paint that is very presentable with the exception of the ding here and there and a faded area (which can possibly be buffed out- never done prior). I captured them in the photos. The jeep always fires right up, no matter how long it sits without being driven. It has never been driven off road and the majority of mileage is highway going back and forth from North Carolina to Mississippi. 4WD only engaged a once or twice. Engine does not smoke nor require addition of oil between changes.
Selling it as it no longer gets driven regularly.
Clear title and current state inspection and registration.
Thanks for looking and please e-mail with questions.

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 Authentics Concept is genuine but drab
Sat, 20 Apr 2013Looks can certainly be deceiving. Have a glance at this new Suzuki Authentics concept, for example - we were told that this would, essentially, be a proper sedan version of the new SX4, but our folks on the ground in Shanghai tell us it's actually much larger. Like, bigger than the Kizashi. (Hey, remember the Kizashi?)
Regardless, Suzuki says that the Authentics concept previews a C-segment vehicle for the Chinese market. A good move, too, since that segment has the highest volume in the Chinese market. (That's why automakers like Ford, for example, have more than one offering in the class.) If we're honest, the Authentics concept looks a bit "meh" for our tastes - there isn't a whole lot of emotion going on here with the design. Consider it a competitor for that spiffy new Ford Escort that also took the stage here in Shanghai.
We don't have any more details about the Authentics concept at the moment, but considering the fact that Suzuki has officially exited the US market, at least we don't have to worry about this thing showing up on our shores anytime soon.
