Up For auction is my 1988 Samurai Hardtop. This is a rare item as it is almost 100% rust free! Excellent looking and excellent running/mechanical condition. I drove 5 hrs to pick up this samurai from western PA then drove it home. It was owned by two mechanics prior to me. They did a lot of work to it, which I will try to describe.
here is the list of things I think are worth mentioning,
Has a Weber Carb,,Thorley Headers, new high preformace clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing, upgraded blue halogen headlights, aftermarket brush guard with front end tow hitch, new rear shocks, new serpentine belt, has recent new brakes, recent tune up, does not leak oil or any other fluids, runs great throughout all rpms, aftermarket front seats. Truck was painted from its original teal green to black. the undercarriage has been done with some type of protective spray. It has a 4 inch spoa lift with the appropriate axle spacers. 15 inch Mickey Thompson Classic wheels, 31x70x15 Mickey Thompson Super Swampers with about 80% tread life, the tires and rims alone are worth about $1000 used. The front and rear windows have been replaced and there is new rubber surrounds for each.
There is a spot of surface rust that you can see starting to bubble under the paint just below the windshield on the passengers side. it is about two inches long and a inch wide. ,I have not been able to engage the four wheel drive,,it may be something I am doing wrong, I never had it looked at. Other than that ,this is a daily driver. It starts right up and has never let me down. I do love this Samurai. I hate to sell it but I need the money....It turns heads wherever it goes! This is a no reserve auction and it will go to the highest bidder. Please be ready to pay in cash or certified check within three days of auctions end, or don't bid. If you want to pay me with a certified check,,thats fine,,but be aware,,the title will not switch hands until that check is cashed. I have heard of certified check scams on ebay and refuse to be that victim.
Can be seen and test driven in Ocean City NJ,,feel free to call me with any questions or comments,,609-780-0050, but there will be no but it now price. Bid with confidence,,though this is an awesome little truck,,,Happy Bidding,, Jeff

Suzuki considering Cappuccino revival?
Tue, 13 Aug 2013It's not a secret that a few of us here at Autoblog have a crush on Japanese Kei cars. The diminutive sizes and cheeky looks of most of the segment are certainly endearing factors, but it was the sporting Kei cars of the 1990s that made for the most delicious forbidden fruit.
Suzuki's entry in that time and market space was the Cappuccino, a rear-wheel-drive coupe with a removable roof and roll bar, powered by a 657cc three-cylinder motor. The car hung around the Japanese market until 1997 (and was booted up in Gran Turismo form for years after that). Now, rumor has it that the little coupe could be getting a reboot around 2016.
The reports are still a bit short on detail; some indicate that a new Cappuccino could be built up on an existing Kei platform from Suzuki. If the new car were to keep the RWD layout of the original, however, that would mean building up the model on the live-rear-axle bones of the Suzuki Jimny or Carry.
VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle
Sat, 27 Jul 2013Volkswagen and Suzuki have been undergoing marriage counseling in a bid to avoid finalizing their nasty divorce. The blissful union has been troubled for some time, with Volkswagen claiming that it could affect operational decisions at Suzuki, and the Japanese brand's sniping and constant flirting with a certain Italian temptress causing rifts.
The matter first went to court in 2012, when Suzuki demanded VW get out, and leave its 19.9-percent stake in the Japanese brand in a box to the left. Now, Automotive News is reporting that the company will give the relationship one last shot, according to closed-door dealings between the two in London.
Still, it's understood that VW and Suzuki recognize the benefit of their alliance, and that it'd be in the best interests of the kids both parties to make things work. Spokespeople declined to comment to AN, but the newsmagazine spoke with Frank Biller, an analyst for LBBW in Stuttgart, who said, "Both companies stand to benefit if they can overcome the disagreements over leadership claims."
205k Suzuki models being investigated for airbag sensor issue
Wed, 19 Jun 2013The Detroit News is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation on the 2006-11 Suzuki Grand Vitara and 2007-11 Suzuki SX4 due to issues with the airbag and seatbelt for the front passenger seat. So far, NHTSA has received 128 complaints on these vehicles for airbag warning lights, airbag off lights and seatbelt lights, on a vehicle set that totals around 205,000 units, but there is no indication as to how many, if any, injuries have reported.
Via technical service bulletins, Suzuki has already acknowledged two airbag-related issues with front passenger seats on both vehicles, including a programming error for the passenger seat load indicator on 2009 models and an open-circuit problem for the sensor mat that determines if an adult or child is sitting in the front seat. Since this latter issue would not shut off or lessen the impact of the passenger airbag, Suzuki has already extended the warranty for the seat cushion bottom to 10 years or 120,000 miles. After ceasing new-car sales in the US and Canada, potential recall repairs (which still may or may not happen) would be handled by remaining dealers as laid out in the recent court-approved bankruptcy plan.
