Suzuki Bankrupt, Fire Sale Expected

This week, Suzuki filed for bankruptcy protection and announced they will no longer sell automobiles in the U.S.

This isn't a huge surprise, considering Suzuki sales have been terrible over the past couple of years. But this does present a good opportunity to land a great deal on the remaining unsold inventory. Suzuki dealers have four models they need to get rid of quickly, with total inventory of around 2,500 units remaining on dealer lots. Price drops will likely be in the thousands of dollars.

The good news is that Suzuki will still be honoring the warranties on all new vehicles sold. Out of 220 Suzuki dealers nationwide, around 77 sell other brands so they will still likely be around to service the vehicles. Parts should still be available, but a bit harder to track down.

If you are considering buying a Suzuki, keep in mind that resale values will take a big hit - as they normally do when the manufacturer goes out of business. For this reason, you should only consider buying one of the remaining models if you intend to keep it for at least 6 years. (Preferably, you'll keep it until the wheels fall off).

Of all the models, the Kizashi family sedan has had the most favorable reviews. Below are the remaining models and estimated nationwide inventory remaining.
