Suzuki X-90 Base Sport Utility 2-Door (1998)
for sale

Price: US $5,678.00

Description:

I am selling my beloved 1998 Suzuki X-90. Her name is Kimmy. I am only selling because I am losing my garage space.
Regardless of what you have read about the X-90, know this...It is one of the best cars ever made. Just like all geniuses, they are rarely appreciated when alive. The X-90 was only produced for 3 years and only about 7, 000 were brought to the USA. It was a financial failure because the public wasn't ready for it in the 90s. But this car is decades ahead of it's time. It is small, sporty, and you can drive it anywhere. Great gas mileage. Extremely fun to zip around in. Because it's so small and light, it has some kick. Extremely reliable Japanese engine and transmission. Plus, it looks fantastic and absolutely unique. Even though the car is extremely rare, parts are extremely easy to find. It has the same engine and drivetrain as the Suzuki Sidekick and Geo/Chevy Tracker. You won't need to repair anything any time soon, but you won't have problems when the time comes.
COSMETICS:
I have had Kimmy for about 2 years now. She spent most of her life in Arizona. I am in North Carolina. This car has never seen snow or salt and has absolutely no rust. One of the reasons that there are few of these cars around is because they were prone to rust around the t-tops, hood and trunk hinges, etc... But none of that is the case here. The car has been garaged it's whole life and it shows. I put the bra on the front to protect it and also because it looks better this way. The front is in fine condition. I didn't want to take the bra off to take photos because it's hard to get back on in cold weather like this. But it isn't hiding anything. Also, all of the rubber and insulation is still in really good condition. The rubber around the t-tops keeps water out. Door seals and trunk seals are also really solid. I have seen alot of these cars come and go over the years and haven't seen one as nice. The glass is all in very good shape. I refurbished the power window motors. Both go up and down fine. T-top glass is also in good condition. Often times, they were mishandled, dropped on gravel, etc...but these are nice and clear. The seats are in good shape with no tears or cracks. I can see some spots on the passenger seat that show wear and a bit on the driver, but much better than most others. I painted the interior door panels and dash parts red to match the exterior paint. This custom interior really makes Kimmy stand out from all the other X-90s out there. I replaced the stereo with a CD/USB head unit and 4 new speakers. It sounds great! All of the controls work properly. Fan blows on all speeds. It doesn't have A/C. It wasn't included from the factory...and you don't need it because you'll have the tops off most of the time.
MECHANICS:
This car runs perfect. Only 86, 000 original miles. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country. I starts up every time, idles smoothly, shifts fine through all gears, and both high and low gear 4WD works great. I have taken it off-roading but it has never been abused. It has never been modified or lifted and is at the original ride height with original size tires. I put new tires on, and chose to keep the original size because it handles really nicely as-is. In the 2 years I've had Kimmy, I've done lots of work. Most of it I have done myself, but I have receipts that will be included with the sale. Here's a list:
- New timing belt
- New water pump
- New cap, rotor, plugs, and wires and full tune up
- New battery
- New air filter
- New Michelin tires
- Changed ALL fluids including regular oil changes PLUS changed front and rear differential, transmission, and transfer case. The car comes with a full inspection by a AAA mechanic showing that it is in perfect mechanical condition. Please see the included photo and buy with confidence. If you want to come by to inspect the car in person, please feel free to contact me and we can work that out. The title is perfectly clear, in my name, with no leans.
BONUS ITEMS:
The car will come with OEM t-top storage bags and t-top visors (rare to find in good shape like this!). Also included is original operations manual, warranty info, Suzuki glove box wallet, and the Haynes instruction manual.
VIDEO OVERVIEW:
Please see the below video to get a quick tour around the car and to see that it stars up, runs smooth, and shifts into both 4WD gears without issue.

Listing Details:
I have done my best to describe this car in detail. Please see the included photos. If you have questions or need additional photos, just let me know.

Remaining balance due in full within 5 business days after purchase/end. I accept PayPal or cashiers check in person. I am located near Charlotte, NC. I will cooperate with a shipping company if you choose to have the car delivered. You would be responsible to coordinate the details, choose your shipping company, and cover the cost. But I am willing to meet the carrier and be present to load onto the truck. Thanks for reading this far. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks...Jon.
