Breaking a Jimny...

I will be ready to sell up around April time when the insurance runs out. It will have MOT and tax still so could just sell it. Just wondering if i would be better off breaking it, money-wise...?

Probably wont end up doing it though as I dont think i would have room to store all the bits.

If its not heavily modded, return it to standard and sell the off road bits then sell it as it stands.

I dont have the standard bits

I'm not convinced it would be worth breaking it,
If often is if the car is very rare or parts are very epxensive, the Jimny is neither of those.

have a quick look on ebay for all the major components, body panels, seats, engine, axles etc and see how much they are on there for. Add it up and see if it goes for more than you will get just selling.

I suspect it will be close but the ball ache and hours spent splitting the car, having a jimny in bits outside your house, and all the trips to the post office would probably make it not worth it.

It will make little difference if its modded but you have a bigger market with a standard truck.

As above though its just not worth it, it will be close. Save yourself the effort, advertise it properly and in the right places and you should have no real trouble.

Missing the obvious question though, how come your getting out of the Jimny?

I got it for some offroading and for winter use while my other car is off the road. I had hoped it would also be better on fuel that my Focus RS but it isnt...

Im planning on getting something cheap to run for work, so the Jimny will have to go unfortunately.

2 cars that do 25-26mpg and cost 200+ to tax isnt ideal
