Well-Kept 1993 Geo Tracker LSi Up For Auction

In today’s craze of modern all-terrain vehicles with mind-boggling capabilities, it can be easy to forget that some of the best off-roaders can be of a smaller stature. The Geo Tracker certainly represents this mantra, and now, a well-kept 1993 Geo Tracker LSi 4×4 is up for auction online.

Posted on Bring a Trailer, this Tracker is believed to have spent a majority of its life with a single family in Idaho and Ohio until it was picked up by the selling dealership in June 2023. This pint-sized off-roader boasts a clean Carfax report, a clean Colorado title, and an odometer showing approximately 50,000 miles.

Starting with the exterior, the blue paint job is tastefully contrasted by a removable white hardtop and roof panel. Additional exterior goodies include a hood protector, window visors, a single exhaust outlet, and front and rear tow hooks.

As for rollers, the five-spoke 15-inch wheels are wrapped in 205/75R15 Hankook Optimo H724 tires, while a spare is mounted to the swing-out tailgate. In addition, this Tracker features automatic locking front hubs, along with front disc and rear drum brakes.

Moving to the interior, the seats are upholstered in gray cloth with patterned inserts. In the way of creature comforts, this Tracker boasts air conditioning, manually operated windows, a cassette stereo, and an aftermarket alarm system.

Under the hood, the naturally aspirated 1.6L I4 gasoline engine was rated at 80 horsepower and 94 pound-feet of torque when new. Output is directed to a 4×4 drivetrain through a three-speed automatic transmission and dual-range transfer case.

It’s worth noting that the seller claims that the oil and valve cover gasket was replaced in 2023.

So, what do you think, dear reader? While this 1993 Geo Tracker is certainly in great space, could you see yourself shelling out some capital for a roughly 30-year-old 4×4? Vote in the poll below, and let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

  1. I remember these and loved these as a kid. Then I grew up and bought a Suzuki SX4. What a pile of crap that car was. 24k miles and already started having problems. Sorry but Suzuki is a brand I don’t miss.

    1. The new Suzuki Jimny is a awesome ride and the Samurai was far better than this POS. Sadly, biased “journalism” and the recession of ’08 did Suzuki in, in the US. However, global, they are still a solid brand. There was talk about Suzuki teaming up with Toyota to bring the Jimny here, to the US, but that stalled out.

      1. Yeah they are super popular in India. I think part of the problem with my SX4 was it was co-developed with FIAT. A brand not exactly known for reliability. The engine and Aisin transmission was solid, and I do still see some around. But the hardware was just not great. What was the final straw for me was the muffler. At only 24k miles it started making a vibrating sound which I thought it was just a loose bracket. But my trusty family mechanic said the whole muffler needed to be replaced. I had Chryslers growing up and I know when a car has this many small issues early on its time to get rid of it.

  2. I worked on those at a GM dealership. Clutches and standard transmissions failed. Rear diff issues, engine misfires (melted/burned coils) and much more.

    Safety was almost non-existent. It was little more than a flimsy tin can on wheels. A friend almost died from head and body injuries when hers was rear ended in a quite low speed traffic accident and the body folded up around her, while the frame stayed put.

    Anything Suzuki motorcycle was decent enough, but automobile wise, not so including the diminutive Samari which still has a cult following, similar to the mindless who flock to Teslas.

    I’d rather drive a ’71 Pinto on 50 year old Firestone 500 tires and take the risk, than a Tracker or it’s namesake.

    1. IOW this thing is cute, but has the crashworthiness of a shopping cart.

      Thanks, but. Even as a low-end collector vehicle I’ll take something more survivable on today’s roads.

  3. I wish they still made these, I loved them so much. They were cheap and lots of fun in the summer months.

    1. Our friends in Albuquerque had a ’90 Tracker that they took to CO every summer for many years. The 4 of us took every 4×4 road in southwest CO, especially around Lake City, Silverton and Telluride, and never had a problem. It was a stick shift. I wish I had that vehicle. Now, we rent a Jeep out there for every mountain road trip.

  4. Most of the vehicles the Japanese brought to the US were crap, save Toyodas. Yet Americans (especially women) kept on buying them even when they went to the junker well under 10 years old.

      1. I have a 2016 Rav4. Mechanically they are great and they are easy to live with. And I always recommend them to other people that aren’t car people. But that is as far as it goes. They are bland, no personality, and as I like to say, very appliance like. As a car guy, the Rav is a workhorse and she is a great daily commuter but nothing that would make me smile. No interesting features like GM cars have (like rear seat reminder or remote start). Just basic features even on higher end trims like mine. Everytime I get into my Cadillac, or even a newer Chevrolet, I smile. The cars are appealing, look and feel homely, and have character. My Rav on the other hand, I can’t undo the image of it being a taxicab. The leather though durable, looks like the same vinyl that belongs in the back seat of a NYC taxicab (which most now are Toyotas). The interior is all black with cheap plastics and fake “carbon fiber trim.” That being said though, when I need to go on a long 3 hour drive during a business trip, I totally trust my Rav more than my Cadillac and there is no other car I would rather trust for long drives to not leave me stranded. But I don’t know if I would get another Toyota again. These days, you can find reliability in nicer options like Chevrolet, Ford, Mazda, or the Korean brands.

    2. These are made by Suzuki which I have found to be very good quality after owning several cars and motorcycles.

    3. During the 80s and early 90s the Japanese suffered from rusting problems. My aunt had a Subaru Loyale and it was an awesome and quirky car. But they rusted away like nothing. That’s why now most cars have unlimited corrosion warranties.

      1. I agree,, I just bought a 1996 Tracker 5 speed manual with 78k miles with most being pulled behind a motor home. It is a rust free Texas vehicle.
