Up for sale is my 1988 Suzuki Vitara (imported Suzuki Escudo with electric everything). I bought this from Bundaberg, put some bigger tyres on it and have owned it for a year without any major dramas (only current problems which I have listed below), reason for sale is I have purchased a newer car very cheap from a relative and I just want this gone.

Features:
1.6L EFI
Auto
143000 kms
Power steering
Non working AC (only because compressor has been removed for some reason)
Electric windows, mirrors and sunroof

Mods:
Body lift (2 or 3", not sure)
PVC snorkel
Japanese deep dish wheels
31" Maxxis Bravo 771 AT's heaps of tread only like 6mths old
Some aftermarket steering wheel
Fog lights
Towbar
JVC MP3 headunit and Fusion component speakers
Dash mat (dash is not cracked)
I built a storage shelf/false floor in the cargo area and added a flip down bench to the rear door.
Rear shocks replaced recently with long Commodore ones

Problems:
Paint is faded
Cracked windscreen
Very slight oil leak (main rear seal I think) - Doesn't use oil, just leaks here and there.
Crack in exhaust manifold - I attempted a repair with brass but it cracked again almost instantly (pictured) - A new header style manifold off eBay is $180.
Door trims are cracked but have previously been repaired with fibreglass
Sunroof needs some TLC to operate smoothly (probably just needs some WD-40 etc but I never use it so haven't bothered) - SUNROOF DOES NOT LEAK.

$2000 unregistered

Flares are nice too.

FWIW it's very easy to find out how big the body lift is - there are two body mounts visible under the sills on the outside of the chassis rails:

Might matter to a buyer as I don't think you can get a 3" body lift approved in most states.

Otherwise GLWS.

Bump.

In case the ad isn't clear, I'm selling the car WITH rego if you pay for the rwc.

I'll sell it a bit cheaper if you don't want rego.

Will sell for $2000 without rego, pretty cheap as it only has 2 months left on it ($100 worth?)

Surely this would be good for parts, the wheels and tyres are probably worth about $800-1000 (tyres were $800 new), and then you have a factory EFI G16A etc.
