wj939 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) For sale is my 2001 Grand Vitara 5 door 2.5l 4x4. I am the third owner since new having had the vehicle two years in which time it has been boringly reliable. The vehicle is in dark green and with 96k miles on the clock. Good condition inside always used with seat covers and rubber mats, it has been my trusty shooting vehicle with the proper 2H to 4H&4L gearbox, in reality this has been limited to stubble fields, dirt tracks and the odd grassy bank but has never had me stuck where some of the pickups and freelanders have been. The outside has a few scratches and knocks consistent with age and use, but certainly nothing major. Mechanically and electrically sound it has an alarm and immobiliser (thatcham), CD radio and remote that all work as they should. Being the five door, this is in the rarer 2.5l version, which as you'll know doubt guess, pulls like a train. From a standing start you'll embarrass others at the lights, and it's not as juicy as I first expected and I am told is the preferred Lwb model for serious off-road work. Mot runs out in August, but it will be going in for a test before being sold so will have 12 months MOT. Pictures to follow. £1000, vehicle is located in Kent.

RockySpears Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 I am down Surrey way mid-July. If it is still kicking around I would love a look-see. Time to upgrade from my sons cast-off Clio with a blown head gasket, Thanks, RS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wj939 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Have tried to capture the offside front where there is a scuff and some scratches (bushes), that's probably the worst of it. I'll post some additional images including the inside when the dog box is out and the seats are back in place, but as I say they are unmarked.

pinfireman Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 What kind of mpg to you get on a run, and around town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wj939 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) I would guess around 20, maybe 25 on a run. I do a 45m each way run to Gatwick once a month in it and I reckon that costs me £25 in fuel, I'll let someone else do the maths.
