Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This little guy looks great, the paint is a few years old and the hood is a little sun faded but not bad. It does have a few little scratches and the tail gate has a small mark/dent that is between the spare and the handle. The extra doors have a few scratches from being moves around. Brakes and steering are a little touchy from being lifted."

I bought this for my son and he doesn't like it. It looks great and is a real head turner. When i bought it, i was told the mileage was org but i can't prove it, it shows 57,014 right now. The interior is new, it has racing front seats and seat belts and the rear seat was redone to match. The carpet is new and the stock roll bar has had bars added to the rear for safety. The door panels are all diamond plate aluminum and has a matching steering wheel. The paint is a few years old and the hood has a little fade from the sun but it's not bad. It does have a few scratches and a small scratch/dent on the tailgate. The frame looks solid and over all the body looks good, the floor looks like it has two patches in the front out by the rockers but it was fixed nice.

It's lifted with a standard spring over axle swap with some blocks and after market shackles. The shocks are in good shape and it has longer steel braided brake lines all around. The steering has a dropped pit man arm and it's a little touchy. The stock drive shafts have spacers. I'm guessing the gearing is all stock, it starts off great but by the top of 2nd the tire size catches up with it and it feels like it needs more gear in it. It will do 60 mph in 4th when on the highway. I don't think it was ever used off road, more of a mall cruiser.

I have two tops for it, one is a bikini top and the other is a denim full top with clear windows. Both are in great shape. I also have a nice set of jeep style half doors that are painted to match and both have matching alum door panels. They are done right with the top cap. The inside of the cab has been sprayed with a type of bed liner. The fender flares look very nice and are mounted well. The rims are 10" wide American Racing wheels and the tires are Firestone Firehawk RMT 33x12.5r15lt's. I also have extra door glass for the half doors. The glass on the truck is in great shape.

The engine is all stock, it runs great and doesn't leak or smoke. The stock carb works great the choke even works. The exhaust manifold has a very small crack but the exhaust from the engine back is newer 2" with a chrome tip.

If i was going to keep it, i'd install a header, maybe a Weber to clean things up and a high steer set-up. And depending on what you want to do, gearing.

The reserve is realistic and will sell with a clean title once it's met.

Remembering Suzuki of America... in commercials

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

American Suzuki Motors is leaving us, but as long as the lights are on at YouTube, its commercials will stay behind to remind of the times we shared. We dug up nine commercials - sort of like a Time Life infomercial for an entire brand - and among the starring actors are the X-90 improving the 90s with the help of a Pez dispenser, the Peter Pan-ish Sidekick, Optimus Prime getting his pipes all smoked up over the 1987 Samurai and an XL7 that would have sold in the millions if its commercial were even half true.
We've also included a remarkably oddball eight-minute featurette/commercial about a giant Suzuki Swift. You'll find the retrospective in the videos below. Enjoy.

Suzuki offers sneak peek at Authentics concept for Shanghai

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

Suzuki 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 recalling 184k GM-built models for fire risk

Fri, 23 May 2014

Suzuki is recalling 184,244 total units of the 2004-2008 Forenza (pictured above) and 2005-2008 Reno manufactured under contract by Daewoo, now General Motors Korea, between September 1, 2003, through July 30, 2008, for a risk of fire. The exact split in terms of number of each model isn't available yet.
In the vehicles, the heat generated in the headlight switch or daytime running light module could cause the parts to melt and cause a fire. If this sounds somewhat familiar, it's the same reason that 218,000 units of the 2004-2008 Chevrolet Aveo are being recalled. According to General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler: "It's the same issue."
Adler explained that as the contracted manufacturer, GM is responsible for finding a remedy to this problem and providing it to Suzuki. It's a similar situation as Toyota recalling the Matrix and giving the automaker the repair parts to fix the Pontiac Vibe, which shares the platform.
