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 engine, 5 speed, 4x4 with manual hubs. Zippy driver, 24-6 mpg, holds more than it looks like it will.
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. Has Hella Vision Plus headlights that take modern replaceable bulbs -- very bright! 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. Includes the fold and tumble seat that is not mounted, and a brand new black carpet kit. 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. |

Suzuki Jimny displays Samurai spirit in Japanese snowstorm
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Say what you will about its smallest SUVs, but you have to hand it to Suzuki: the likes of the Samurai, Sidekick and Vitara were doing the little-sport-ute-that-could thing long before most of the rest of the industry caught on. And the formula remains relevant enough that Suzuki is still selling the same basic Samurai overseas as the Jimny.
That could be why the Samurai still has something of a cult following. Well, that and the name - which, as it turns out, may not have been such a stretch after all. A Samurai warrior, after all, was just one man - but like any other knight, he was worth more than his headcount on the battlefield. Or in this case, a Japanese snowstorm. Just watch the half-minute video below to see what we mean.
Suzuki recalling 101,000 Forenza, Reno models over faulty headlamps
Tue, 21 Aug 2012

According to the announcement, the recall pertains to potentially faulty headlight assemblies. A poor contact in the headlight terminals can result in the splice pack melting, resulting in partial or complete loss of headlamp functionality.
Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
