Time to part ways with my Suzuki as I stopped commuting, plus going through mid life crisis, thus, back to bikes.
Starting with the negative.
Cambelt is due. For someone handy is circa 150£ in SKF or Schaefler parts (cambelt+water pump which is the proper way, less than 100 if only cambelt) and a couple of hours work.
The garage I was planning to do it is booked untill July. As such, would rather leave it for the next owner so has a solid starting point and is reflected in price.
There is a very small ding on the side of the bonnet (perhaps not easy to spot on photos).
Back on facts
Euro 6, Ulez, 35£ tax.
Just shy of 126000 miles.
O2 sensor (common failure) replaced last year with Bosch (the oem as other have issues)
Tyres changed less than 2000 miles.
All brake discs and pads changed around 90k miles.
Has adaptive cruise control, panoramic sunroof, TPMS, Navigation (though arguably dated, thus I use Carplay connection), part leather seats and original suzuki wind deflectors.
Believe has an extra rear spoiler and a beefed up front bumper frame from previous owner.
Was bought as an approved used 4 years ago.
Suzuki has 18000 miles intervals, never exceeded 11000.
Apart from commuting has taken me all over Europe under all conditions. Fun little SUV, frugal (allgrip is essentially 2wd unless accelerating or slipping) so car hits 60-70mpg on open road. Quite capable in snow and gravel. Chassis dynamics are better than one would have expected.
Might also consider to part exchange with bikes mainly tracer 9 gt 2021+ or a vstrom 800/650 and any price difference.
Thanks for looking and any questions please ask.
