New to us but used. </p>
Diane and I were talking about getting a small jeep or something, since there have been too many times we wanted one or just needed one. So, thought we'd try to save some cash here and there and build one.AAA Salvage was gonna help me out.</p>
Well, we ran across a good friend of mine and he was telling me we could look at his Suzuki X90. Its smaller and lighter than what I was wanting but after reading what a person can do, cheaply, to mod them, we decided to go down and look. </p>
As we walked up to the tiny car/jeep..whatever. (I call it the Barney Midget Mobile) I told Diane that if it ran, we were buying it! </p>
16 valve 4 Cyl with 103,000 miles. (mainly highway)T-Tops, Power Windows and Locks, Cruise Control, 5 speed. 4H- 4L, Air works..Heat will run you out! Interior is flawless! Has a few minor blemishes on outside dents and dings but not bad at all. Needs a front driver's side headlight. Speedometer cable it broke..Belt squeaks some but gets better as I drive it and has new tires. It will get painted! The color dosent sit well with me. LOL</p>
The 4x4 works great..and the little thing sounds good...runs great...very smooth. He took care of this car and scheduled maintenance was always done right and buy professionals.</p>
We bought it and I went yesterday and tested the 4x4 on some snow filled hills. First attempt went fine but as I said, its light and the rear wanted to slide a bit. So taking the advice online, I added a few concrete blocks (7) and it went all over the place and never slipped one time. (or at least where you could tell it) </p>
The car is excellent on gas and in such great shape that we plan on parking some gas hogs and saving the money! I'll buy a set of rims and good grip tires later but for now...Its tough to beat what we purchased. I sold 2 guns and still put 100 in the bank and found out last night that my old S-10 truck is sold for 700. </p>
1,300 bucks worth of selling this week and we stole it car at $500! I have plenty going back in the bank and will be able to gas my truck when we have to go to PA. Grandma is still in bad shape...just a matter of time. </p>
