My wife and I are looking to upgrade to either an 06 Prestige or a 09 GV Diesel and are looking for interest in our current GV.

What is it?

2002 V6 Manual Grand Vitara (SQ625 S2)
186,000km

Price: $8000 firm

The Good:
- 2" Dobinsons spring lift and shocks from ODA
- Yokohama 235/60/16 Geolandars (50% tread left)
- Steel Underbody bash plate (from ODA)
- Towbar
- Rola Roof Racks
- Rola Roof cage with 2/7" HID spotties. Wiring harness located in the LH roof rail with switch under the dash.
- Rego until March 2012.

The Bad:
- Slight scratch on rear bumper (to be repaired prior to sale)
-Clunk from rear diff, diff center to be replaced with new lapped center with new bearings prior to sale.

If you are interested, call Rob on 0400 845 087. Car is currently located at Mount Gravatt, but can be viewed at Milton during work hours if need be.

Hi Rob. Go for the 09 diesel mate. They are absolutely magic to drive!

We like the diesel for it's wheeling and towing abilities, but the lure of a lazy leather lounge with an auto is tempting... especially when 90% of or driving is commuting... will depend on what we like on the day.

Now if only suzuki could bring out a TD with an Auto... :roll:

I think that they left the TD as a manual because there were concerns for the current auto transmissions life expectancy behind the suprisingly torquey TD.

Its wierd that the more expensive TD comes with less options..... Still, I'd be suprised if you didn't walk away with the TD after you have driven one :wink:

My mate has the TD and it is one VERY nice car to drive with a surprising amount of get-up-and-go!

EDIT: It appears that Darkhorses' account has been suspended :roll:

You have a PM.

Id go the V6 over the deisel in a flash. so much nicer inside and they haul ass. Offroad the auto would make up for the lack of low torque of the TD.

Are you talking about the same car? :? The TD GV has heaps of torque down low. 300Nm at 2000rpm infact.

If the diesel came with the same interior options as the prestige, they'd sell sweet FA petrol V6's!

Prestige is still 3.2L V6.... Or was last time we checked.

But we won't be getting any of them unless we can get rid of the current car...

Any takers?

Bump

Roadworthy getting done tomorrow, diff to get replaced later this week.

One of the cheapest GV's for sale with light mods, if you are after a comfortable and reliable runabout that can also take you camping in comfort, this is your car!

Following install of new diff, price will increase to $8000 firm.

What's it like on fuel?

Post subject:  Re: FS - 2002 V6 Grand Vitara
Not bad for a V6, will get 500km to a tank around town (11L/100) and about 600km to a tank on the highway (10L/100) depending on driving style.

Car has been sold... Sad to see it go... but hopefully the new owner gets as much fun out of it as we did!

And you will all be very happy to hear that we ended up with a diesel... Hard to beat all that meaty torque!
