Suzuki Vitara Estate Now £125

[Darrel]

Ive just got too many projects on the go so I'm making room at the moment. Show season is starting and I don't have one car ready yet

Its a 1993 Suzuki Vitara Estate. 1.6 16 valve engine. Dark mettalic green. Will post some pics up later.Taxed till end of this month. It needs welding for Mot, along with 1 tyre. I paid £250 for it so thats what I'm asking.
Oh forgot to say its the more desirable one with the auto front hubs (You don't have to get out of the car for changing over 2wd/4wd modes)

Here are the pics as promised. The frear windows are tinted and the car has seat covers, but the seats underneath are perfect. The car also has a cd/dvd player in it and some very meaty off road tyres. I was getting around 35-40 mpg and the 16 valve engine is surprisingly nippy. It also has a recent clutch and a brand new battery. Its nice to drive and has central locking and Powers steering.

Lob it on Difflock.com at that price your hand will be bitten off

What is the meaning of the Zimbabwe flag....??

Was it a Zimbo's car before ??

Still, silly money for a lot of car.

Wish I had use for it.

Is that not a little rascist?

[dclane]

Maybe he's from Zimbabwe !

[grizz]

Not at all Racist.

More a matter , like in my case, I keep a SA flag on the rear of my car, and the Sinclair trailer... to show my roots.

Like calling a Trinidad and Tobagoan a Trini..... Thats the same sentiment.
And south Africans Saffers.

So , it could be that the man is a former Zimbabwean, or even Rhodesian if he is still stuck in the old ways.

Hope that makes it clear. (if not PM me more questions, and I will expose the real me in more depth)

Where exactly is the racism? I cant see any.

Looks a snip for 250 shekels.

[Lankytim]

Everything is racist nowadays. Even me typing the word "racist" is racist.

[Darrel]

Erm cant scan the failsure sheet as i don't have a scanner. Basically its either side undernerneath. The good news is the underneath of the car is perfectly flat. All it needs is a flat length either side.
I bought it because ive just bought my first ever Mig Welder and the car was chosen because it was a nice easy one to practice on. No angles required etc, just plates. Problem is I just don't have time
As for the guy he certainly wasnt from Eastbourne . He was from south Africa, his wife from New Zealand and his lodger had a very strong scottish accent who's girlfriend was Welsh??
Picking up that car was one confusing day lol
Wheelspinner ive tried that site you said, but the forum is down.
I paid £250 for it which was cheap. I'm not trying to be greedy with it and make money so am willing just to let it go for the same

[nanawagon]

Do you have a contact number please my friend ?

[Darrel]

pm sent, however.................
Ive just went shopping in it and noticed an 8 inch crack in the windscreen that wasnt there this morning??
As such I'm reducing the price to £200 which is what a screen should cost

[russellmerc280ce]

can you do a couple of picces of the welding needed?. i need to have it roughly priced up somehow.

[Darrel]

Price now reduced to £125 before I take the cd/dvd player out of it and weigh it in which would be a real shame

[cortinadale]

shame you so far away from me

Hi mate i'm interestred in the vitara but its a hell of a long way for me to get it back home. Mechanically how is it? Will it get me from yours to j9 of m6, west midlands?
Is there any mot left on it or not?
Sorry for all the queations but as i say its a long way home.

[Darrel]

Hi I will honestly say It will get you anywhere. The car is excellent to drive. The engine starts instantly (It has a brand new battery) and is lovely and smooth. The car will sit at 70-80mph all day long perfectly. The only criticsm is the nylon ball on the bottom of the gearstick has worn a bit so the gearchange takes a bit of getting used to. Its an easy fix and doesnt cost much, but to be honest ive just got used to it and find gears in it easy. Oh and the geabox was rebuilt last year by a proffesional gearbox company to replace all the seals in it.
As for MOt I'm afraid not. It ran out last month. Sorry

[naffa]

PM'd you again mate.

You're going to have to take that Estelle off your avatar now mate. She's just driven home 180 miles non-stop without missing a beat.
