Vitara Questions

Looking at a Vitara JLX Wagon for the girlfriend and haven't had much luck finding any below 160,000km to 200,000km (mid Nighties model).

Question is if I end up getting something with high k's is there anything to look for engine wise (1.6L Injected)? How far do these things go before major engine issues?

Prefer auto as well, so any know issues on the boxes would be appreciated. From I understand it's basically a Holden trimatic?

Any other tips or feedback from owners appreciated also.

:D

The lwb did not have the trimatic auto, that was only in the early 8v swb instead they have an Aisin Warner 4 speed auto.

For more info on what to look for, look in the Vit Bible for things like this

North Coast - NSW. Has to be auto though. Post up some pics/description in the for sale section for a look.
