Used Suzuki Grand Vitara for Sale

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 loved/love the car. After owning for ten years now, the car is still running at nearly 250k miles on it. In terms of maintenance I have never had to perform any major maintenance on this car. Just the occasional belt replacement. The car fits five and is able to travel long distance cross country without worry.

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!
