Baja California can be a heaven or hell experience - often the determining factor is your AWARENESS in the moment.

They are very popular down here and fairly easy to work on, especially the older ones. Parts can take awhile to get. If you are bringing one down
here, bring OEM spare wheel bearings.

we've had ours about seven years...
it's burned oil the entire time but what a car!!!
parking...size is PURRFECT
they're gutless but amazing
ours is 4x4 wow
tires are at least 5 years old and still have tread
its a 1986...
parts...kinda hard to get
even in the states
i needed to rebuild the alternator at an alternator place the second year...none around at the time
right now...dist rotor is non-existant...but they can be repaired for a long time
when this guy dies...i will ABSOLUTELY get another one
there's a guy back east that sells complete engines ans all the parts
he got me a tow bar that bolts right on...no welding
we tow it down
i'd bring it

Tires are tires, just bought a set for my Zuki at Mexicali Costco. The guy I bought the car from had the engine rebuilt by a local San Felipe mechanic
a couple of years ago.

We have kept this 1987 Sammuri (The "co-driver " calls it her "Little Burro") down here in Loreto for about 15 years
now..
I welded on a bar in the front to tow it down here with a VW tow bar. Set it up with a ball and hitch to launch my panga if needed..
Found a decent mechanic in Loreto, who can fabricate parts when needed.. There are many of these guys running around town..

When one hits the Pick and pull or places like that It is picked to the bone before they get it off the truck People sell the parts on E. Bay for a
Big price.

The good thing about them is if it quits just pull it over and shoot it, no big loss, I had a later model what a POS.
