Kizashi Stampede

Somebody forgot to lock the gate. This photo was taken two and a half years ago when options of repair were expensive and or risky with used and many were dumping them for whatever they could get. The current price of a nice one needing a transmission repair has more than doubled since then and sure to keep rising for at least little while later longer.

Wow. That's a rare photo for sure. It's great to have someone on here who is a professional mechanic knowledgeable about these rare cars and willing to put in work on them. Have you had good luck selling the Kizashis with the rebuilt CVTs?

It's a funny picture also a sad one at the same time.

Id never had a bit of trouble selling one. I have many family members in them. These cars are or maybe were the bargain of the century .They just need backed up with a bit of helpful info on how to handle troubles when they arise which makes this site valuable.

Are you by any chance interested in selling a front right fender for one of those silver ones? Or maybe even trading it . My SLS was a victim of a deer attack and as much as I love my car, it hurts to look at it everytime I go to get in it.

Trading ? You've got my attention, whats ya got ? Also, whats your zip? Pm is probably the correct avenue. In the picture, only of of these ended up as a parts vehicle. The rest were made whole again with transmissions replaced or repaired with modified primaries and sent back out into service along with many many other Kizashi's plus some sx4s , Altimas, a Juke and a Compass.

I sent you a pm, Old Tech. And WOW--- crazy to see TEN Kizashi's all sitting there--- so glad you got almost every single one of them back on the road. You're a Suzuki sedan life-saver.

When the previous owners decided to put their Kizashis out to the pasture, I’m not sure this is what they had in mind

How many Kizashis do you think you’ve worked on, old tech?
