1986 Suzuki Samurai JX 4X4 tin top. For 30 years old its in really good shape. It drives well, starts the first time and runs smooth. No smoke or foul smelling exhaust like its burning too much fuel. Mechanically its fine. Shifts smooth. 4x4 works in all ranges. No leaks on the ground from the vehicle. Inside there is a radio and everything is there as it should be. The heat and A/C work. Dash gauges work. Wipers work. Lights work. The seats are not ripped. The carpet in in good good shape but could use a floor mat on the drivers side where your heal sits on the floorboard. The paint looks very good overall. There are a few very light scratches that are not rusting here and there. Honestly nothing major and nothing that a little rubbing compound could get out.
The underside frame area, fenders front and rear, floorboards, quarter panels and nearly rust free. Like 98% rest free. There are no holes through anything and when I tapped the metal areas it sounded and felt solid. There is a little grime here and there…..but its 30 years old.
Looking under the vehicle the frame is straight front to rear. The structures of the vehicle such as inner quarter panels and fenders, rocker panels and all the structures that would get messed up in a accident are NOT messed up at all. The front doors and passenger doors close flush with the body as would be expected.
So whats wrong that I can see:
On the passenger side of the hood there is a strange sort of spot that doesn't look like rust but it could be. It is not throughout the metal. Its just a rough spot a little bigger than a nickel.
On the drivers door it looks like the middle got a crack in the metal from fatigue and it was welded but not ground off or sanded. Its not a bad weld…just needs to be cleaned up. Its not rusting and the window rolls up and down no problems.
There is a small dent on the top of the vehicle on the passenger side above the wind shield. The window frame area is not compromised in any way and the window frame shows no signs of rust.
There is a small dent on the rear quarter panel just above the bumper.
These items appear to be very cosmetic.
This vehicle is 30 years old though….but in really good shape.
OD says 58531 miles
The title in South Dakota is clean. There is no notation on the title AT ALL that the vehicle was salvaged/damaged/rebuilt or what ever.
In the state of South Dakota the law basically says that any vehicle over 10 years old that was registered from another state with a rebuilt title will not have that notation in South Dakota.
eBay pulled the listing originally because they thought it was fraud. .ITS NOT! Technically the title is clean. Beyond that I don't see anything physically wrong with the vehicle. Beyond that. ..its 30 years old but in great shape.
So. .its resisted to comply with eBays blanket policy.
