Just a quicky from a super new member, so new this is my first post!
So in 3 months I am changing over from my suzuki vanvan 125cc motorbike to a car... I've been looking around for the perfect car, I didn't want anything "normal" for a 18 year old boy and I wanted something to get me to them hard to reach places in Scotland for my landscape photography!
Anyway lets get down to business.
Just a few quick questions and sorry if this is something that's already been discussed.
When looking for a jimny I'm hoping to get a 2005/2006 but this means ill have to save up loads in the next 3 months, I have enough to get myself a nice tidy 2000/2004 model but I've been looking inside the jimny more and more lately and I really dislike the dash on the older models :/ not sure why, I think it's just I like the radio bein higher and having round knobs and not straight...
Do you think it's better to save up a bit more to get a newer jimny or just get an old one?
Has anyone got like a new radio system built in their jimnys? Like I am looking at one at the moment where you press "open" and a screen pops out which I thought was cool, anyway of getting that put into the jimny? Thought I'd ask you his as you know best
Also the most important question -
BLACK
RED
OR
BLUE
hahaa, thanks for your time everyone!

And I would say green or gold as I have gold, but I do like the green.

£1100 for a year I didn't think that was that bad, for a 1litre is like £800-900 so not much more
I see alot of people like the black! Not many blue lovers like haha,
I'd love a gold but my parents had a golden belingo and look too much like a child's version of that haha.
What's the tax like on the older models anyone know?

Passing the test is easy, learning how to drive is where the real skill comes in
I would also agree with Dan, go for an older model... The tax on my 2000 'Green Machine' is only £123 a year.

As for the stereo that was the first thing I did before even driving the thing the stereo in the jim is a standard singal DIN size
Also (if you really want a good sound) replace the standard door speakers as my farts have more power then they do!
Oh one last thing.... Your simply going to have to go for red...
