Just thought I would say hello as I am new to this site.
I dont own a Jimny at the moment but hope to be in the position to buy my first one in a couple of months.
I will have a budget of around 5K , so what can I expect to get for this ?
Having done abit of research I have read that the VVT model is the one to go for so could somebody please tell me when they were introduced ?
Thanks in advance

It may get used off road on the odd occasion as I do a bit of clay shooting but most of the time it will be used as my daily.
Does VVT refer to any engine derivative ?
