Used Car of the Day: 2003 Suzuki XL7

Today we bring you a vehicle I don't see often -- a 2003 Suzuki XL7.


This one has an automatic transmission, four-wheel-drive, 161K miles, and needs some work.

It needs a RF hub and the seller also says that any buyer must be willing to work on it frequently.

On the other hand, our seller says it is also a good vehicle for camping.

If you're willing to wrench but also want cheap wheels for a weekend toy, click here.

The asking price is $3,500 for this Washington-State-based Suzuki.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    I would want to know why you have to work on it frequently. Due to poor or missing maintenance, perhaps, but not for $3500. Electrical issues/engine management no. I had a friend who had one and it was quite reliable, but after 10 years with small kids he needed to upgrade.
  • Tassos https://carsandbids.com/auctions/rj4dOynY/1999-mazda-mx-5-miata I'm not in the market for toys like these, but this Miata with only 37k miles, 15 years YOUNGER than Tim's RELIC, and a PROPER sporty little car, RWD and all, sold for a mere $9k. Given its very low miles, this was a STEAL. It even has the MANUAL.
  • 1995 SC I don't know if this is a good price or not, but you'd be hard pressed to get the typical example that shows up of one of these this nice for 20k
