So I need a new vehicle and I found a 2008 Suzuki XL 7 for $4000. Are these known to be good vehicles or junk? I know suzuki pulled out of the US, are parts still easily available. It has about 100,000 miles on it. It is about the only cheaper priced vehicle I can find in my area. Any advice would be great. Thanks
That car does not appear to be particularly reliable. "It ranks dead last in reliability out of 12 eligible Suzuki models":

Rockauto still lists quite a few parts available but you can expect to have to search around for and/or wait an extended time for some items. Forget dealer-only parts except maybe from junkyards. Sourcing parts for a dead brand will become more difficult as time goes on.
Also the price is way too high for a 14-year-old car from a manufacturer no longer in the U.S. I'd pass it by.
I would pass on it.
Definitely pass. That particular model year has engine issues, add that to the parts availability, you better off considering something else.
