Simply put, they’re worth what some idiot is willing to pay.
I usually start with, “Listen, I’m not trying to be a dick, but…” then list all the stuff that’s probably worn out, needs replaced, how hard certain parts are to find, leaks, etc.
They ask stupid prices for rotted Samis here. Just offer what you want to pay, if they say no, walk. These aren’t muscle cars. Just a cool old car with a niche fan base.
How much is a 1991 Suzuki Samurai worth? The value of a used 1991 Suzuki Samurai ranges from $590 to $3,048, based on vehicle condition, mileage, and options.
Reaching 60 mph requires 18.7 seconds, and the Samurai tops out at a mere 77 mph in fourth gear. Fifth gear, as indicated by the Samurai's 42.2- second top-gear time from 50 to 70 mph, is useful for little more than maintaining modest speeds on level roads.
it seems a decently maintained stocker can do 90-200k, depending on maintenance and use. but, a modded(read heavy) sami will kill the longevity of an engine if not geared correctly.
The last model year for the Samurai in the U.S. was 1995. Despite its death in the American market, the Suzuki Jimny carried on elsewhere. Suzuki introduced a third-generation model in 1998, and after a 20-year run, the fourth-gen Jimny debuted in 2018; it remains on sale throughout the world to this day.

In 1994 only the four-wheel-drive model JL was still available. This year all remaining Samurais came with a canvas top and an added high-mounted stop lamp, with the rear seat removed entirely. 1995 was the last year for the Samurai.
The primary reason Suzuki ceased the production of the Samurai in the United States in 1995 was due to a damaging report by Consumer Reports magazine in 1988. The publication labeled the Samurai as prone to rolling over under certain conditions, severely impacting its safety reputation.
