Hi

I have been looking for a 4x4 for ages and have just found a Vitara 2.0TD auto fairly close to home.

Only thing puting me off is the millage. Its at 170k.  Are these engine capable of higher mileage and what problems am i likely to encounter with this millage?

Its priced at £800

Any thing i should look out for?

Be greatfull of any advice of common problems etc.
Also what is the towing capacity? id like to tow a small caravan with it, is this going to be safe?

Many thanks
James

HI James

Is it the Vitara or Grand Vitara and what year?

Sorry I cannot answer about the mileage but for towing info:-

http://www.cuddles.abelgratis.net/suzuki.htm

If it's the GV then the above link will show you the kerbweight and tow limits of it, try and stick to around 85% or less if it's the first time you have towed.

The only one I have towed with was a 2004 (54 plate) XL7 2.0TD which towed like a dream, the main point to remember, if it's your first time towing, is just to take it steady and remember those extended mirrors.
