Good mid-size SUV?
You left out my choice, which is the Kia Sportage.
Best small SUV for $13k?
I recommend the Suzuki Grand Vitara, which has a great reputation. If you're looking at a Toyota you'll also have to pay more as everyone wants the security of brand T.
What is the best SUV for towing and off-road?
It's becoming a broken record, because the CX-5 gets The Tick and is best in class. The new Vitara is roomy and well built, just flawed by an awful automatic gearbox.
Creaking noise in Grand Vitara
I agree with you that a two-year-old car like yours should not have creaking noises in it, and certainly not ones that can't be fixed. Take the car back to the dealer and ask them to explain to you where the creaking is coming from. If it is coming from the body, due the wear and tear, it is completely unacceptable and says much about the standard of Suzuki's engineering. If it's from the suspension, then it can be fixed.
SUV for son's first car
For something fuss-free and good value on the used front, I'd suggest a Suzuki Grand Vitara. It's classy, a good size and can handle some off-road work.
How much stamp duty on a Grand Vitara?
My calculations are that $120 would be payable by the purchaser on transfer of the ownership.
Grand Vitara suspension noise
It’s a pity you left it so long before booking it in, but I would again contact Suzuki and explain your dilemma and ask for their help again.

All of those avenues are open to you, but before you go any further I recommend we try opening a dialogue with Suzuki. We have spoken to Suzuki Australia on your behalf, but we discovered that Suzuki Australia, the factory importer for Australia, doesn't handle Queensland. That's handled by another, separate importer. Our contact at Suzuki Australia has told us he would communicate with the Queensland importer in the hope if a resolution. If that fails to provide an answer to your concerns, go to Fair Trading first, and resort to legal action last.

Take it back and have the seal replaced again, and suggest to your dealer that they make sure there are no visible problems with the new seal before it's installed, and that it is installed correctly.
