HELP........ADVICE PLEASE?
« on: June 13, 2006, 23:39:55 »
Hi Folks,
My Dad wants a small 4x4 as a winter motor,local run,logs,utility etc for use on tracks ,rural lanes & woods. He likes the Vitara and is buget is £1500 MAX !! Problem : He's got zero ability at mechanics so he's asked me to locate a suitable 'beastie'. :shock:
I know nothing about Suzukis and would like to know what to look for and also avoid.
All info greatly recieved.
Cheers,Rich  :D

I bought a N reg Vitara 56,000 miles full service history, straight as a die for £1400 so keep looking in the papers and on web.  Had no problems with it in the 10 months had it.

Mine is a 1997 P Reg with 87k on the clock, got it for £800 off Ebay, runs as sweet as a nut, just a bit of surface rust on wings.

So keep an eye out as there are bargains to be had and they are a great little motor.

Main thing to look for is rust behind the rubber arch trims as these tend to hold water against the bodywork - Bl**dy stupid idea !.
