Suzuki Grand Vitara questions

The only issue I would be worrying about is the timing belt is listed for change at 70,000klm. If it has not been done, and from experience dealer services don't do it unless specifically asked, there could be a problem. It is not a major job as it is a rubber belt.

Timing belt on the petrol motor is 105,000km.
I have a 2006 six-cylinder auto. Petrol consumption is nothing flash, nor is ground clearance, but other than that it is a delight to drive.
Prestige model has a a sub-woofer, whatever that means.
I wish your daughter well in her quest.

Rust - check gap between rear bumper and lower tailgate seal. They are thirsty on fuel. Fun to drive

We had the 4 cylinder vitara, great car, was too low for us but that was us not your daughter. It had the airbag for memory drivers side, but cant remember 100% if it had one on the passengers side but was a great vehicle to drive. Plenty of get up and go, good on fuel, very comfortable and was fantastic on Stockton beach (better then both my previous prados) but lacked ground clearance but we didn't have a lift in it only our earlier vitara. The V6's are thirsty for such a small V6 motor (2.5L for memory). Friends of ours had one and sold it for various reasons, firstly was oil leaks, the second one was fuel usage. From QLD to here in Sydney it ran 13L per 100 for the trip (more then my current 120 V6 4L prado) he was expecting 9 to 10's. .........
