Suzuki Sidekick Base (1997)
for sale

Price: US $1,000.00

Description:

Good running, well maintained, no smoking 4wd Sidekick. 216k mileage is mostly 200 miles per day commuting. 4 wd has only been used a few times, such as last summer on a rough road 32 mile RT slow trip to the 12, 000 foot trailhead for White Mtn in the eastern Sierras - no problem at all.
Recent service, features, issues include:
Transmission fluid change in March with Amsoil synthetic Dextron
Fresh semi-synthetic engine oil
NEW TIMING BELT AND FAN BELTS
Recent front brakes
New radiator and water pump in 2015
Auxiliary transmission cooler added 2015
Starter and alternator changed a few years ago

Custom roof rack - cargo pod also available Tires are all in good condition with about 50% tread

AC is cold, but fan does not work on the high setting - extra switch is included in sale Radio tape deck sucks - original low quality Some of the dark shade on the side windows is starting to peel Some light sprinkle of white dots from being too close to my house paint job (duh) see pic
This Sidekick has never done any towing (no hitch), and it has never been RV towed, although it is well suited for RV towing.
I have driven this vehicle for a long time with the check engine light on. It was just checked for a code and the reason is the CPS - crankcase position sensor. I changed the CPS, but the light is still on. No other codes. Runs fine, but this will need to be fixed if it is registered in an area with car inspections. Or, register it in Pahrump, NV where I live and forget about it for a year - address available. This might be convenient for any distant buyer wanting a summer ride to tour the western US national parks

ZERO rust, no accidents Nevada car. Underside and engine recently steam cleaned, but not a car show beauty contest winner. Does the job. Also a small dent on the front of the hood.
NEW driver's seat from late model Suzuki Vitara.
All door latches and windows work fine. The tailgate was changed out because of a broken rear window. Interior is clean and nice, except for a paint stain on the rear carpet. New front windshield - no chips.
Engine does not burn or drip oil. Transmission is very smooth and has always been driven gently - my wife and I are seniors. Gets about 22 mpg on the road. Also very good mpg around town.
The roof cargo pod is also available for an additional $20. Fly in to Vegas from wherever and take this Suzi straight to Yosemite or Grand Canyon for your summer camping. Ready to go.
