 This is a rare Special Edition Samurai.  It was purchased in North Carolina and has remained in the south as a solid southern vehicle.  It has the Special Edition Stripping on the body and matching seats to match. 

The engine runs very well and it drove from North Carolina to Virginia with no problems.  It has optional headers. 

There is no rear seat.  The carpet is in good condition.  The driver's seat has some tears as shown in the photos.  There is a nifty console made between the seats that is very securely mounted.  There was an option available on Samurais for a box under the dash where you could lock a valuable such as a firearm.  That hard to find box is there, though I do not have the key. 

The radio is an aftermarket radio cassette player with an additional speaker behind the console.  It works well. 

The A/C is not working and am unsure what it needs.  It is equipped though.  The cruise control did not appear to work on first try, but we have not checked fuses.  That's a common and simple fix in a lot of cases. 

There are optional headlight guards as well as a tow connection on the front. 

Tires are like new.  I do have a spare tire cover that goes with it. 

This is a great little vehicle that was purchased for my dad, but he never drove it.  I wouldn't hesitate taking it anywhere.  The engine runs well.  It's had a fresh oil change.  It shifts well and shifts the transfer case seems to shift well. 

A deposit of $500 is expected within 24 hours and balance is expected within 7 days.  Pick up should be within 14 days unless other arrangements have been made in advance. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

205k Suzuki models being investigated for airbag sensor issue

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

The 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.

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Way 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.

Suzuki calls in 26,000 Daewoo-built Veronas for overheating lights

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

Suzuki is recalling yet another Daewoo-built model due to possible problems with the daytime running light module in the instrument panel. This time it covers about 25,899 units of the Suzuki Verona from the 2004 through 2006 model years that need fixing. Like the repair campaign of the Forenza and Reno in May, it's possible for the part to overheat, melt and potentially cause a fire.
According to the Chronology of Principal Events section in the defect notice submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, this recall was actually a direct result of the Forenza/Reno campaign. After finding the problem in those vehicles, General Motors Korea started investigating for more affected models and discovered that the Verona was also at risk. However, the report says that no cases of melting or fires have been found in the Verona.
Obviously, Suzuki will be notifying affected owners and will replace the DRL module free of charge. Scroll down to read the recall request or check out the full defect notice in PDF format, here.
