1988 Suzuki Samurai Turbo Diesel 4x4 manual 5 speed
This is our second Samurai we've had they are blast to drive. We bought this one last year and tow barred it from Georgia here to Michigan Its been a great little vehicle this past year. My husband has driven it to work everyday which is 40 mile round trip. The only problem it had is that the wipers didn't work but we just bought one here on eBay he just hasn't installed it. He did put on a new door handle, but other than that it's been great. The fuel mileage is excellent he said at least 30 mpg which is better mileage the the gas engine we had. We love this little truck but husband is selling this and his ford truck to buy a vintage truck. The engine is from a mid 80's Volkswagon Jetta. We did not put it in but previous owner said it came out of his buddys wrecked Jetta . The owner said that he put in the hobbs meter which reads somewhere over 300 hours I don't know that that tells a story. It has a mechanical injector pump. Husband put a cold air intake in it it helps the turbo breathe and supposed to boost mpg. It has dual batteries and a new glow plug relay and fuel cutoff solenoid. We just got the hard top it has the rear hatch door on it much better for our Michigan wintertime. Two people can easily remove and put it on its not that heavy. The soft top is in pretty good shape it has some loose stitching in one of the corners. Big difference in the way the two look on it. The body is solid, the paint is poor, the tub and under carriage has been rhino lined. The doors are easily removable. We put on Rock Sliders and a Brush guard. There is a dent in the center if the tailgate, It has the Rocky Road Outfitters suspension and adapter kit so that lifts it 4 inches. There are 4 inch lift shackles on the front. It has a soft type ride to it. The previous owner did a good job on the conversion. The brand of matching tires is Buckshot Maxxis Mudders the size is 30 x 9 50 R 15. They have about 5,000 miles on them. We did get a spare for it I don't know size or brand, but its a spare. It has a mechanical injector pump Its a manual 5 speed and shifts perfect. The transfer case shifts perfectly 4x4 works perfectfly shift nicely and smooth. manual lockout hubs. Top speed is about 55 because of stock gearing. So its not a freeway flyer but will get you where you're going. It got all the perfect characteristics of a Sammi only with a Vw Turbo diesel engine. If you want to call Robert for more details his number is 734.657.2868 We have it for sale on Craigslist so if someone were to buy it before an eBay bid has been placed then I will cancel this auction.

Remembering Suzuki of America... in commercials
Wed, 07 Nov 2012American 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 testing Grand Vitara replacement that is now forbidden fruit
Sun, 02 Feb 2014Suzuki might be dead in the US, but its cars are still thriving in many other markets. Aside from the updated SX4 and a slew of promising concepts at the Tokyo Motor Show, Suzuki is getting ready to launch a much-needed replacement for the aged Grand Vitara, and our spy photographers recently caught the compact SUV testing in Sweden.
Judging by these spy shots, the replacement for the current Grand Vitara - it may or may not retain the Grand Vitara name - will take its styling cues from the Suzuki iV-4 Concept displayed at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show. These cues include the narrow, angular headlights, the sloped D-pillars and we even get a hint of the sculpted rear-wheel arches. We hear that the new Suzuki SUV could go on sale in Europe next year, so we'd expect it to debut later in 2014.
Suzuki teases production C-segment crossover, could it have saved them in US?
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Suzuki may be retreating (amidst booming sales) from the US market, but its efforts to woo European buyers are still going strong. Witness as proof these shadowy teaser images of the automaker's new C-segment crossover that it plans to unveil at the Geneva Motor Show next month.
Until the official debut, we've got just a few tidbits of information to report about the upcoming Suzuki. We're told, and can see, that the car has been modeled on the S-Cross concept car from the 2012 Paris Motor Show. Quite a bit of translation has happened, however, from show car to production form, as we see that the sweeping greenhouse of the S-Cross has been ditched in favor of a traditional pillared setup, large LEDs have moved from the lower front fascia to under the headlamps, and the grille is now much more in line with the rest of Suzuki's current range. The crossover is still painted in a faintly froggish shade of green, though, so the weirdness hasn't been completely leeched out.
We're also informed that the new C-segment offering will have an available a four-wheel-drive powertrain and one of the largest luggage areas in the segment. All of which strikes us as good stuff, but we're still not convinced that this unnamed entrant could have turned the Japanese automaker's fortunes in North America - even if it would have competed in one of the industry's fastest-growing segments. Feel free to read over Suzuki's brief press release below and look at the images before speculating for yourself in Comments.
