Suzuki sidekick for sale california9/13/2023 All the components are in place, I just never needed AC. It is an AC car, but the AC does not work. Basically it keeps the wind and water out. I used metal screws to hold them in place last year. It comes with a top, but the molding that holds the side windows in place is cracked. People always stop to talk about this truck. This truck will go anywhere a car can go on the road or a fourwheeler can go in the woods. This is the perfect vehicle for someone who wants to drive their fourwheeler to the hunt club or to the woods. There is no rust on this truck, none on the frame and none on the body. It drives great at highway speeds, doesn't shake, bounce around or wander on the road. It shifts perfect, clutch is great, and 4 wheel drive works great. The Sidekick does not leak any fluids, burn any oil, make any funny noises and has no check engine lights. It starts right up, idles perfectly and has plenty of power on the highway or in the woods. The rims are black aluminum eagle alloy wheels. It has an offroad bumper, 9000k pound SmittyBuilt winch and 2 KC lights. It has been wrapped in a military camo vinyl wrap and it looks great. It has a 2 inch suspension lift and a 1 inch body lift with 31 inch mud terrain tires. This is the fuel injected 1.6L engine (very reliable engine). These little Suzuki 4x4s are getting to be hot sellers, have any of you owned one?ġ988 was when everybody was tired of under powered vehicles, I lived it & even then kids like me hunted muscle cars in earnest! The problem was I was not making the dough then to buy the 20 grand Superbird at the local gas station it was a terrible time back then & tired of Chevy citations & I should have been issued a citation for driving it & it was my girlfriends ! This was when people started getting mustangs ( hello foxbody) muscle was just coming back I remember my boss showing me his SVO & snickering (bad move)but I craved a V8 & had a 1977 trans am that I did every possible modification that i could afford & do myself drilled the shaker, headers, pull the heads put a mild cam in it & was pretty happy until the kid who had a nice chevelle LS6 rained on my parade! the chase for horsepower never died.This is a 1996 Suzuki Sidekick 4x4 with only 87000 miles. This looks like a good deal to me, even with 154,000 miles and being over three decades old. It has no rust and has always been garaged when not in use. This is a two-owner vehicle and it has had a lot of work done to keep it maintained. It has no leaks anywhere and it’s running great. Sadly, the seller didn’t include an engine photo, which is hopefully a 2022 thing and will totally change in 2023 with every seller including engine photos! (crickets) This one should have Suzuki’s 1.6-liter SOHC inline-four cylinder with 80 horsepower. This one has a new clutch, as well as a new top, a new timing belt, and new carpet. For a 33-year-old vehicle, what’dya want, perfection for $4,800? It has a five-speed manual transmission ahead of the transfer case selector. You probably noticed some fading or wear on the graphics on the exterior, and the interior looks nice but also not perfect. The interior looks as nice as the exterior does. It makes no sense, people buy Honda cars and trucks, so why not Suzuki? Maybe Carnac the Magnificent would know (enough with the obscure Johnny Carson/Ed McMahon references!). They make great vehicles, is it the name? People couldn’t take a “motorcycle company” seriously when it came time to spend money on a car or SUV. We all know about their motorcycles and they even made great snowmobiles at one time, but they kept trying to be a player in this huge market and could never pull it off. as far as their four-wheel vehicles went. I find it hard to believe that Suzuki could never make it in the U.S. At under 12 feet in length, they’re almost small enough to sit on a couch (obscure Ed McHahon sidekick joke) (tough crowd). They were a partnership between Suzuki and GM at the time and 1989 was the first year they were available in North America, entering the market in late 1988. I’m not sure how Suzuki came up with the name Sidekick for North American versions of the Vitara, or Escudo, as the line of Vitara SUVs was known in most other markets. for sending in this tip! This one won’t last long at that price. Here is the original listing, and thanks to Pat L. This 1989 Suzuki Sidekick is posted here on craigslist in the Ukiah, California area and they’re asking $4,800. Everyone under 40 (50?) just fell asleep, but hopefully a few of you know who I’m talking about. I’m showing my age by saying that whenever I hear the word sidekick, I think of Ed McMahon.
