Re: What's this worth - 80 Series

i recently sold a 94 model dx, tidy straight, but with 420000k for $7800
unregistered, so with 260000k, if you got it for under $9000 you would be doing well.

Re: Grand Vitara wont start after flat battery?

it could be a security problem, does the car have a transponder key, if the computer does not identify the transponder code, it will crank, but will not get spark or fuel.
