Re: What to look for
i recently bought my first vitara a few weeks ago i paid 3700 its a 95 model v6 h20a auto lwb no rust with 197000 klms might help you compare.
in my research they tend to get rust around the back door the front diffs are alloy and a known to explode especially with bigger tyres a steel diff can be had from a manual grand vitara and some autos i beleive.
also the g16b engines are known to crack heads and blocks in certain places im not exactly sure where.
hope this helps

Re: What to look for
Is there a reason why they crack around the head and the block and is it common??
Is it because of cooling issues??

im sorry i cant answer thatone for you but i have heard of it a few times so it seems common enough
Re: What to look for
a 94 is probably a 8V tbi motor and they don't have the cracking issues. i had one as a work car
and did 350,000ks in it with no major dramas.
