Rod's Auto Sales, also known as SamuraiSalvage (Google or Bing to find us), is located in Marshalltown, IA. We have been selling all new and used parts for Samurai, Sidekick and Tracker since 1998. We also have been selling and restoring complete Samurais (always with clear titles ... never prior salvage) for the last 25 years. Up for auction is this pristine 1993 Suzuki Samurai 4x4 that we call our time capsule. This Samurai is like new inside and out! 59,323 original miles (this Samurai has a million mile odometer and has been checked out with Carfax). Many of the miles were accumulated while being in tow. This Samurai is a 100% rust free Texas truck. All original non-faded paint. This Samurai has always been garaged. The interior is like new, as shown in pictures. Our shop has recently performed the following updates: new tinted windshield with new rubber gasket, new brakes, new high flow quiet exhaust, new timing belt, tune-up, all fluids changed, new front bumper with new end caps and new lights, new original size tires with new lugnuts and original beauty rings on wheels, newer JVC CD player with four speakers. The 1993-1995 were the best of the Samurais and were identical for these three years. Factory updates included: more powerful 1298 cc high compression fuel injected engine (will run 75 mph!); improved 5-speed transmission with lower overdrive ratio; improved transfer case with larger output shafts; larger capacity radiator; larger driveshaft flanges; improved outboard swaybar (much more stable than older Samurais); improved leaf springs with teflon pads between leafs (rides 100% better than older Samurais); better wrap around seats; and updated seat tracks enabling the seat to go back 2" farther than previous models. This Samurai runs, drives and looks like a new one. Everything works perfectly. If you are looking for the best Samurai that you can find, then don't let this one get away from you. Once it's gone, you may never find one like this again. If you are looking for a cheap fixer-upper, this is not the Samurai for you. The new owner will not be disappointed! The Samurai is the only street legal SUV that can be legally licensed for the Iowa and many other states off-road parks. Much better than a side by side and you can legally drive it down the road...or to your fishing camp, hunting camp, cabin by the lake or going off-road with it. We can install a new black fiberglass one piece insulated hard top for this Samurai in place of the soft top for additional $$. We can also install a lift kit, new heavy duty front winch bumper, heavy duty rear bumper, larger wheels and tires, reduction transfer case, lockers, etc. etc..... We can also have your Samurai picked up for any alteration including a total restoration. When project is completed we will send it back to you via truck transport. We offer reasonable transport quotes for the potential customer. For Canadian customers we can have this delivered to the nearest U.S. border town. This Samurai is also for sale on our Suzuki lot. But once reserve is met, it will no longer be for sale locally...making it fair to all bidders. Any questions? Call Rod at 641-751-2468.

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.
2013 Suzuki SX4 gets new generation to carry on without us [w/video]
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the coffin has been sealed on Suzuki's US automotive arm, the brand is carrying on elsewhere in the world. The first new product to spearhead the Japanese automaker's product offerings in Europe is this SX4 crossover, making its official debut here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. You may remember the little SX4 as the cheapest all-wheel-drive car on sale in the US, packing cute styling and efficient, affordable packaging. And it doesn't appear that the formula has changed too much for this new generation, despite what we think are less attractive new duds derived from Suzuki's 2012 S Cross Concept.
The new SX4 is powered by a choice of two 1.6-liter engines - one diesel, one petrol - the former mated to a six-speed manual transmission while the latter uses a CVT with a "seven-speed manual mode" operated by steering wheel-mounted paddles. All-wheel drive remains intact on the SX4, now with four driver-selectable modes and the Allgrip name.
Suzuki is touting the SX4 as having the world's first double sliding glass sunroof, offering "the largest opening areas" in the segment. Overall, the updated interior looks nicely designed and quite functional, though not exactly a shining beacon of refinement.
Suzuki ending auto sales in Canada, too
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Suzuki of Japan has reportedly made the decision that almost everyone assumed it would make when it announced it was leaving the US market: when the 2014 model year concludes, it will no longer sell cars in Canada. With six employees overseeing its auto business in Canada and a dealer network that has shrunk to 55 outlets in the country, we can't say we're shocked.
At the time of the US announcement, however, the senior VP of sales and marketing in the automotive division of Suzuki Canada said it would be able to survive on its own because, among other reasons, Canadians prefer smaller, more fuel-efficient cars that fit the company's offerings. Five months later, after some time to think about a 30-percent drop in sales to open up 2013 instead of the 1.4-percent increase in sales that Suzuki Canada posted last year, things have evidently changed.
The Globe and Mail reports that as is in the US, Suzuki's motorcycle, ATV and marine divisions in Canada will remain.
