If the Zuk was 10 years old it wouldn't be worth much in trade.  Why not keep it?

Bummer you sold yours. I never noticed that they were any more spendy to keep around than anything else and the milage is better.

Payments on a CRV  :P
are going to cost more
than fuel for a Track/Kick

Bad Trade
IMHO

well honestly
if you're on road all the time
the viscus cuplink style center differential is not a bad idea
as it's on fulltime

but thats on the road all the time
that's about it
crv/rav4/escape/highlander are just minivans with all wheel drive

well put it this way guys,
firstly i never offroaded with it, and on road driving wasn't exaclt the best drive
secondly, i was getting 16mpg outta it, so it was costinf me 1bout £40 a week to use, plus it is a leaded engine.
as for parts, not cheap at all where i live, i need a new bumper, bumper support and grill, and those wold have set me back £700, and would have to be on order, and take about 4 months to arrive, like all other parts, cos vitara parts are not common in my county
major differance, i was driving a 10 year old car with loads of milage and alot of things going wrong, now i am driving a 1.5 year old softroader, plus insurance isn't gonna change much,  i was paying on my zuki about £1000 a year, now i should be paying slightly more, cos my bro has a nissan xtrail and pays a lil more than i do


plus this CRV came round at a excellant price, and witht he price that vitaras normally sell around here, it cost us practicly nothin
