1988 Suzuki Samurai Tin Top Good Stock Rig Daily Driver G-wagen 4x4 5 Speed on 2040-cars
Buffalo, New York, United States
|
Great little truck has been my daily driver until new truck arrived. 1988.5, so it has the post-Consumer Reports changes. Great 1.3l carbureted engine, 5 speed, 4x4 with manual hubs. Zippy driver, 24-6 mpg, holds more than it looks like it will. This was a Kentucky truck until 2011.
Spartan interior. Heat works. Wipers work, doors lock and open, etc. In past six months have put in new starter, new GM alternator, new battery cables, new front rotors and pads. Has Hella Vision Plus headlights that take modern replaceable bulbs -- very bright! Put in airbox from a Dodge with magnum engine. It isn't pretty but it breathes. This was an amateur restoration by the previous owner to a decent standard. Paint shines. Please see the pics, this is a great 10-footer but some rust does show bubbling. Frame is sound. Door hinges are cut for easy door removal. Lots of recent door and window seals on it, but ready for a new windshield seal. Amateur tint has scratches, residue from tint on the windshield. Original rear view mirror and sun visors are not present, previous owner put in a wide view mirror. Includes the fold and tumble seat that is not mounted, and a brand new black carpet kit. Also have a new set of floor plugs for the drain holes. Excellent city car, great 4 wheeler, gets plenty of attention. Not perfect, not a honda civic, not a Mercedes G-wagen, but an honest little Samurai. Happy to work with your shipper. Yes, I would drive it cross-country tomorrow, but I don't mind spartan rides or challenges that pop up. You might not want to do so. The accident on the autocheck was before I bought it, someone hit the back end at low speed, I've put a new stock bumper on it since then. I don't see any damage underneath. This is a 26-year old vehicle sold as is. |

Which automaker's 84-year-old CEO is making investors nervous?
Sun, 06 Jul 2014We haven't heard much about Suzuki since it decided to leave the US market in 2012, but things are going well for the little automaker these days with the recent announcement of record annual profits. It would seem that investors should be ecstatic, but they are starting to question the man at the helm. Company president and chairman Osamu Suzuki is now 84 years old and is guaranteed at least one more year as the leader, but shareholders want to know who is taking his place when the inevitable happens.
We're not being ageist, here. As long as the Suzuki can run the company to the satisfaction of investors, he absolutely deserves the top spot. According to Bloomberg, the issue making shareholders so edgy is that the business doesn't have a transition plan in place. The president obviously isn't a young man, and folks are worried that if something happens suddenly, there could be chaos deciding a successor and a free-falling stock price.
Suzuki's tenure at the company is somewhat astounding. He married the granddaughter of the founder and took her name because the family had no male heirs. In world where many people hope to retire as soon as possible, he's worked for the same automaker for the last 50 years, including stints as company president from 1978 to 2000 and 2008 to the present. Investors aren't questioning the president's ability as a business leader; they just want a clearer understanding of the automaker's future direction.
American Suzuki gets $100M in financing to go out of business... buy more cars?
Fri, 07 Dec 2012American Suzuki Motor Corporation (ASMC), which declared bankruptcy in early November, has been approved by the courts for up to $100 million in debtor-in-possession financing to enable it to shutter its US car business. ASMC had received a $45 million loan from the Japanese parent company, Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC), last month in order to make repayment deals with its franchise dealers. At the same time, ASMC was awaiting final court approval of this larger loan.
Out of the newly approved funds, $50 million can be used for operations, and oddly, the other $50 million can be put toward purchases of new inventory from SMC. That's right, even as existing inventory was headed for a smooth exit with the help of incentives, customer demand for orphan Suzuki models is so strong - last month's sales were up 22 percent compared to 2011 - that ASMC plans to purchase 2,500 additional cars from SMC that were built after the bankruptcy announcement. Good news for the owners of those vehicles: the top 50 dealers, representing more than 98 percent of ASMC sales, will become parts and services centers.
The press release below has more information. Unlike its recent tenure here, the end of Suzuki cars in the US looks like it's going rather well.
Four seniors to drive around world in pair of Suzuki Jimny SUVs for charity
Fri, 29 Mar 2013Plenty of us here at Autoblog have designs for epic drives. Whether it's bouncing around the country in an old International or heading from Alaska to Chile on a bike, we like to think we have big aspirations. Or at least we did until we heard about these four gentlemen. You see, Leslie George Carvall, Alan Butler, Glyn Maher and Charles Scott are all in their 70's, and they plan to pile into a pair of Suzuki Jimny SUVs and drive around the world. Sort of makes a hike across country seem like a trip down the block to the local corner store. They're calling it "The Ultimate Challenge," and they plan to undertake the journey for two reasons.
First, they want to prove that age shouldn't stand in the way of people doing what they want to do. Second, the group hopes to raise funds for the 'Heaven Can Wait I'm Busy' group, which aims to direct money toward worthy charities both in the UK and around the world. Save the Children and Oakhaven Hospice are the two currently designated charities.
The trip gets started in just three days, and you can head over to the effort's site to track their progress. The route should cover some 16,500 road miles and 10,375 sea miles. You can also catch up with the project on Facebook.
