1987 Samurai 4x4, Low Miles, New Engine/front Suspension on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
This Samurai is a 1987 4x4 soft-top 1.3L with many new features. It has been a great daily driver since I've had it the past 4 years. It's a beautiful and fun vehicle with tons of personality. It just made a 2,100 mile trip from Kentucky to Los Angeles in 3 days with no problems. It has a new engine head and a remanufactured engine that runs very strong. It has been a project car of my father and myself for the past few years. The entire front suspension (see details below) was replaced so there are NONE of the infamous wobble issues. However, being a 17 year old vehicle, it recently developed some other mechanical issues that I don't have the time to fix and am moving on to something more reliable (see below). Registered Kentucky title in hand. Newly replaced parts:
Features:
Exterior: The body is in great shape for an '87 with no rust on the frame and a new paint job. It looks very sharp with very minor scratches and a small ding on the passenger side door (see picture). The windshield has has a couple dings where rocks hit but no cracks. The trim below the doors was taken off and the metal sanded down and painted but there are the holes still there where the previous trim was inserted. Interior: The interior is in fair shape. The floors have a Rhino Liner. The vinyl seats are in good shape with no major tears or cracks, the dash is a little beaten up but still looks decent. Also there is no radio but all the wiring is still there. Windows and locks all work. no tears in the soft-top. Known Issues: The vehicle was driving great and I was using it everyday then one day after I had just driven it I went to start it and the engine would begin to turn over but then the starter would make a screeching noise. I spoke to a mechanic and he showed me that the starter itself was loose and wasn't able to engage, he assured me it was an easy fix. I'd do it myself but I don't want to have to deal with it so I'm selling as is. Also the clutch acts up after the car has been driven for more than 15 minutes. It shifts fine, but after the car is warmed up it begins to grind a little in 1st and 2nd gears, no idea what that could be, but it is absolutely drivable. Could be a very simple fix or something else. With a little TLC this could be a great and fun vehicle, the engine runs strong and the new front-end suspension, tires and excellent body frame condition make it a great Sami to fix up or use for parts. Other known issues:
The vehicle currently will NOT start and is sold AS-IS. I have it parked right next to a mechanic and can have it fixed for reimbursement so it will be drivable, or you can pick it up. I can also assist in delivery, but the buyer is responsible for paying to acquiring the vehicle. Payment from the buyer should be made by cash, check or Paypal within 3 days of the auction ending. If it is a check I will have to wait for the funds to clear before signing over the title. |

Suzuki has to take out $45M loan just to shutter US dealers
Thu, 08 Nov 2012Bloomberg reports American Suzuki is set to borrow up to $45 million to to close its automotive dealerships and freshen up its it motorcycle and marine business. Suzuki Motor Corporation will loan American Suzuki the funds at three percent below the London Interbank offered rate in order to offer dealer owners a cash payment in exchange for voluntarily abandoning franchise agreements. The company's 216 dealers have 10 days to make a decision on the matter. Under the plan, Suzuki would give dealer owners half of what they're owed in one lump sum, and the dealers would then be able to pursue the remaining debt through the company's bankruptcy procedure.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Scott C. Clarkson granted American Suzuki interim authority to borrow the funds, but Bloomberg reports the company will likely return to court in a few weeks to seek up to $100 million. According to Richard Pachulski, a lawyer for Suzuki America, the automaker may owe its dealers somewhere around $50 million.
Lucky Australians get super-limited Suzuki Jimny Heritage Edition
Fri, Mar 3 2023Every time the Suzuki Jimny comes up, people in the U.S. throw around phrases like “forbidden fruit” and words like “unobtanium.” Still, the automakerÂ’s newest off-roader may be impossible to get, even for people in markets where itÂ’s sold. The new Jimny Heritage Edition will soon be available in Australia, but its super-limited numbers will make it one of the rarest pint-sized off-roaders yet. Suzuki said it would only build 300 of the retro-inspired Jimnys. The companyÂ’s Australian website shows four colorways, including green, white, grey, and black, each accented by red and orange graphics and red mudflaps. Heritage decals and a unique cargo tray round out the look. The Heritage Edition gets the same 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that the standard Jimny and Jimny Lite get, which produces around 100 horsepower and 96 pound-feet of torque. Suzuki offers a four-speed automatic transmission in other variants, but the Heritage comes exclusively with a five-speed manual gearbox. The JimnyÂ’s ultra-compact size, short wheelbase, and almost nonexistent front and rear overhangs make it a surprisingly capable off-roader. Utility vehicles have ballooned in size here in the States, and while we never got the Jimny, we did get oddities like the Geo/Chevy Tracker before the market went wild on luxo-barge SUVs. The Heritage Edition builds on the GLX trim, the most “luxurious” variant, if you can call it that. The trim gets a seven-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, LED headlights, a rearview camera, fog lights, and even some advanced driver aids. Though small and somewhat basic, the Jimny Heritage Edition can be upgraded with several options and accessories. Suzuki offers skid plates, cargo accessories, premium speakers, and even an $1,800 (AUD) 15-inch wheel kit. Pricing starts at AUD 33,490, or $22,591, a few thousand more than the base Jimny. White is the only standard paint color, however, so lucky buyers will have to shell out an additional $695 for one of the other hues. Related Video
