Used Suzuki Grand Vitara for Sale

My car has been with me for 10 + years and nearly 200,000 miles with little repair work needed along the way. She's comfortable with plenty of leg room, and the back seats fold down to give you more than enough room for your run of the mill hauling. My Suzuki got me though college with boxes of food and blankets, and several moves and house renovations since then. I get around 20 miles to the gallon, which isn't the best but I'm not complaining. This vehicle feels foreign with its manual transmission -- an excellent quality that is getting more and more difficult to find these days. The manual transmission, combined with easily engage able four wheel drive make for excellent control in the snowy northeast of the United States. Reliable starting, easy to access engine compartment, and comfortable ride make this one of my favorite cars to date.

I purchased my Suzuki the same year I married my husband (back in 2010). I had just totaled my last vehicle and needed a vehicle to help me accommodate and shuttle my new husband and his daughter. I had $12K in my pocket and needed a vehicle for just my tiny family of three persons (and maybe one more soon), and one that had good gas mileage. At the time I believed that my Suzuki would meet those qualifications. It was compact, had advertised good gas mileage, and I was able to purchase it without a car payment. Win-win! Almost the day after we drove the vehicle off the lot I began to experience issues, though. The car constantly needs oil, the A/C has needed topping off twice, the headlight is always out, and the gas mileage does not live up to all that was promised. Now that my family has grown to five members, the car is too cramped to consider keeping it any more. I am hoping in my next vehicle to get something larger with better gas mileage.

I bought the Suzuki Grand Vitara in 2000. I was moving to Colorado and wanted a vehicle that would allow me to go explore the wilderness. I wanted four-wheel drive so I could extricate myself from any tight spots I might get into in the mountains. I've had the vehicle for 18 years and have loved it. It's a power horse that keeps going. More than once I've been two tracking and had to turn around. The tight turn radius is great for those narrow dirt roads. That it has a higher clearance than a car has allowed me to cross streams and clear rocky roads. The size is perfect for me. Its compactness has allowed me to squeeze by wider vehicles, I might meet while out in the wilds. Other than some weird things that happened early on in owning the car which were covered by the warranty (the ignition key got stuck in the ignition and the ignition coil had to be replaced is one example) maintenance has been pretty easy. This is my first vehicle with cruise control and power windows. I will never own another vehicle without them!
