Founded by Michio Suzuki as a manufacturer of weaving looms in Hamamatsu, Japan, in 1909, Suzuki later shifted from bicycle-related products to powered bicycles and then to motorcycles. In the 1950s, Suzuki introduced passenger vehicles into its production line and became an international automaker producing compact, lightweight cars and small displacement engine vehicles.

Many of Suzuki markets consist of customers seeking efficiency and practicality in 4×4 vehicles. Suzukis are popular among used vehicle shoppers because they tend to have no nonsense mechanical systems, low curb weights when fully loaded, and perceived value as an honest deal, usually an affordable purchase price as well as minimal costs in daily operation.

In particular, demand for Suzuki often comes from owners who want practical nameplates that are easy to park and have available maintenance documentation and a clean history, such as the Swift, Vitara, and several U.S. favorites such as the Grand Vitara, SX4, and XL7.

When shopping for used Suzukis, potential buyers also generally look for models with local dealer support because Suzuki stops selling new vehicles in the U.S. in early 2012, and there are generally fewer local dealers to service your needs, so maintenance records, recent tires and brakes, and evidence of regular fluid service can also attract buyers and support your asking price.
