New to this jimny thing!

Hello guys! Firstly i apologise for the endless questions im going to have. Anyway im after a jimny is there any specific problems they have. As i was looking at sj's but value for money the jimny won hands down, so i was wondering what is a fair price of a jimny 2000-04 plate?

Hello and welcome MrMemzi,what's your location?
spend half an hour or probably longer scanning through these forums and you'll get loads of info on the good and bad bits of the Jimny. Early ones have single cam and timing belt later ones twin cam and chain, pre 1st March 2001 12 months road tax = £130 post 1st march 2001 = £210 Ebay is a good source of info on pricing as there are always around 100 for sale all ages and condition, there are a few modded ones on just now if that's what you're looking for.
cheers,
John.

Thanks mate! Im in Billericay, Essex. Ive had a brief look through! When you say the newer ones are chain driven and twin cam what years that? Im not to bothered about mods

I've a friend on here with a very tidy jimny jlx 2003, twin cam/chain the better engine!
30,000 ish miles, barely a scratch, and no rust at all.
This is a absolute minter and worth a drive up north!. (Preston/Lancashire)

I'd have this jimny off his hands without doubt, but I already have one seriously battered/bruised highly modded jimny and this one is too good for me to thrash/trash.

I would say its worth travelling for the right one. But i've not got a vitara to shift though

As said above look around the forum for the common problems but don't be too hung up on them, they are generally reliable most of us suffer problems as a result of their use(or abuse). I know people with solely road going Jimny's and have never had a problem with them, not even wheel wobble!.

As cracking as your mates jimny is, it is a fair few hours away! I couldnt find someone to take me halfway across england! Ive seen some lovely examples but none seem to stand out to me! Oh well ive got a couple of months till it gets real muddy up here!
