Description
For Sale: 2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.6L Automatic - 3 Door
Mileage: 130,000 (will increase with daily use)
Meet Trevor, my trusty Grand Vitara. I've owned him since October 2023, but due to a change in job and personal circumstances, it's time for this capable little 4x4 to find a new home.
Since owning Trevor, I've put a lot of time, care, and money into keeping him running smoothly. I have receipts for all the work and parts listed below. He's very much a work-in-progress but completely reliable and used daily. As expected from an '05 country car, there are a few cosmetic marks, but the chassis and body are solid.
Work Done:
2 New Tyres - 12/01/24
New Radiator - 10/01/24
New Alternator - 28/03/24
New Thermostat & Housing - 28/03/24
Front Brakes & Discs Replaced - 15/11/23
New Coolant Temperature Sensor - 15/11/23
New CV Boot (N/S/F) - 17/01/25
Rear Coil Springs Replaced - 17/01/25
New Front & Rear Shock Absorbers - 17/01/25
Full Service (engine oil, oil filter, cabin filter) - March 2025
New Spark Plugs - March 2025
What Still Needs Attention:
Rear Seat Belts - I have replacements, included with the sale, but haven't had time to install.
EGR Warning Light - Occasionally appears, doesn't affect performance. Easy and inexpensive fix.
Drivers side door lock: locks but doesn't unlock from the outside. The rest of the doors work perfectly.
It'll be a real shame to part ways with Trevor - he's been a dependable and characterful car. But with older dogs needing easier access and my commute now being longer, it's time for me to find something more suitable.
If you're looking for a reliable, quirky, and well-loved little SUV with plenty of life left, Trevor might be just the one for you.
