1989 Suzuki Sidekick JLX Description

This 1989 Suzuki JLX Sidekick is in fairly amazing condition for 201k miles. I would estimate that between the original owner and us, perhaps half or more have been tow miles (see the review mirror picture...paint's off them due to "living" behind RV's). Sidekick set up for towing with tow bar mount under front bumper, 4 prong tail light adapter at front bumper, lock out and manual hubs. (The Falcon HD "Off Road" tow bar is NOT INCLUDED, but available for an additional $500.) This makes an excellent tow car as it's light weight, and very fun transportation when you arrive.
Overall, this car runs and drives very well. It's sort of amazing that the power windows work, door locks, cruise control, radio. Also, engine, transmission, brakes all have worked perfectly for us...although at 210k miles, you are of coarse buying "As Is".
I am a bit of a motor-head, and so have kept maintenance up...replaced 2 capacitors on the engine ECU, R&R'd the fuel injector for a needed orifice cleaning.
