Seller Write-Up
Lowest Mileage Suzuki Samurai (only 14K mi) On Sale Today.
Listing an incredible opportunity to own a low mileage 1983 Suzuki Samurai SJ410. Finished in Silver with Black trim, and Black and White Vinyl seats, the SJ410 is a cool precursor to the popular Suzuki Samurai from the late 80s and 90s.
(SJ410 = Suzuki, Jeep, 4 wheel drive, 1.0 Liter Engine). SJ410 came in 3 body styles, Soft top/convertible (with half doors), hard top (or tin top), and truck bed. This is the half door soft top model with all of the 4WD capabilities the Zuk is known for (4 wheel high, 4 wheel low, locking wheel hubs and 1900 lbs.).
This extremely rare + low mileage jeep is still mostly stock other than a few tasteful mods including updating the headlights, cooling and roof rack. I originally purchased it June of 2019 and was a true barn find as it had been imported from Guam years ago and with only 6k original miles on the clock and sat for years in a barn with the original plastic covers still on the seats!
After getting everything updated and refreshed based on the ‘non-op’ years spent in storage barn the jeep has been reliable and fun every day. Its been my go to for everything including regular beach duty and 4×4 desert excursions.
Since then I’ve put another ~8k miles on it for the last 4.5 years. This is an incredibly reliable 40+ year old truck with the original water proof vinyl seats still looking fresh as they did in 1983!
Summer time is the time to get one of these for beach, desert, mountains or to tow behind your RV/Van to be able to do all of those. It passes visual and sniff SMOG tests in CA with test only stations and I just paid the registration through next year.

Like any 40+ year old costal vehicle there is some surface rust I have been taking care of with sanding and spot painting as I go but the paint is in good shape overall.
Bring a Trailer has most of the recent sales data on Suzuki Samurais. Many are very high mileage. Low milage, good condition jeeps typically sell between $13k and $20k+. I’m looking to find a new home for this rare Samurai.
Clean title in hand.
