Hi putting up my vitara for sale. Asking $1000 price drop, needs to get out of the garage for the new car

Long story short ive had enough of injecting my money into it. Up until recently ive spent in excess of $2000 getting her up and running. She currently has done 234001ks

Recently had the clutch replaced at 233420ks
Timing belt, crank pulley, and key weigh were all done at about 232000ks
Has been serviced every 10000ks
Currently sitting on a set of white sunnies wrapped in toyo open country A/Ts measuring 235/75/r15
Bull Bar
Power Steering
etc etc

However on a recent trip to the springs the engine decided to give up on me. Its a suspected crack head or head gasket. I just don't have the time or money to repair it this time. This is the only major problem with the car there are a few minor dents from offroading as you would expect with a car this age. There is a major dent just in front of the passenger door causing the door to catch as you open and close it. And the paint needs some attention.

Happy to answer any questions you may have.

Sam

Electric dizzy? The reasson I ask is because on my 90 model vitara the person before me put a ford dizzy in it and did a terrible job... There was a plate that needed to be earthed to the body and if the plate got too hot the car wouldn't start. One day the plate snapped away from the body and it wouldn't start unless you earthed it... I'm glad I updated to a new model :)
