If you have been hankerin' for a versatile, all-purpose STREET LEGAL/back woods/rough terrain, narrow trail capable vehicle that has cargo or sleep space OR can even tow a small cargo/camping equipment trailer, don't spend your hard-earned $$ on a limited use, expensive 4wheeler ATV.
Crossover or Jeep Wrangler too big, clumsy and expensive??----Not this almost one of a kind vehicle! And it is a great town car runabout.
This one has 5 speed manual, 4 WD, a removable fiberglass roof buttressed by a full Roll Bar, a front cab removable roof, a radio, A/C and heater that all work, a brute of a front bumper, and a hitch. Add to that, new front seats, an almost new interior[rugs and seat covers], and new wheels and tires[ about 300 miles].
This vehicle has room, if necessary, for some lifting and somewhat larger tires, without fender modification. I am sure you have guessed that this vehicle is the famous, and somewhat hard to find (in this condition), SAMURAI. This is a 1992. The odometer reads a little less than 114,000 BUT, it spent five years of its life as a towed lifeboat behind a nearly full time motor home. The estimate of towed miles less driven miles for those five years was approximately 50,000, so the net actual driven mileage should be about 64,000. This is a strong motor and excellent transmission combination. On the highway, my wife claims it gets about 30 MPG, mostly using 5th gear.
Please understand: THIS IS NOT A DISTRESS SALE. On EBAY, it recently brought a high bid of $5,500, but that did not meet our reserve. If you research SAMURAIs, you will find a very few in this condition, and they are going for a lot more. So I thought some of our members might be interested, or know someone who might be. Our motorhoming days are over, and the motorhome and this lifeboat will have to go.

For those readers who are curious about mileage: this vehicle was registered in Arkansas for its total life until I bought it in 2009. It was exempted from odometer reporting in 2002 by the Arkansas Motor Vehicle Dept. Mileage at that time was 54,345. So. the first ten years of its life it averaged 5400 miles per year. When it was turned over to me, and registered in Florida, the FL Motor Vehicle registration office retained the odometer reporting exemption, but I recorded the odometer, at about 111,700, after the return trip to pick it up in Arkansas.[~600 miles]
Once again I apologize for forgetting the rules: The asking price is $8000.00
