Hello Jimnyers,
i'm in negotiations with a suzuki dealer in colchester for my first Jimny , i've been offered an 06 black/grey
with aircon thats done 90,000 its got full service history , bit of tax / mot , wondering what you guys and gals think to the price / longevity of this prospective purchase
for the price the aircon will be regassed / 12month non suzuki warranty / 4 tyres replaced , its in
good clean order , its just the 90k of drivetrain wear that concerns me , i do about 7000 miles a year at the moment, will be using it as my daily commute(7miles either way) and some off road ish excursions:)
theres a certain stigmatism attached to high mileage cars , but from what i've read jimnys are in
a class of there own for reliability,
any help or advise would be grateful

With FSH, i wouldn't worry as it's standard. Doesn't look like the interior has worn much, not that many jimny drivers worry about that.
I didn't see the price there, only photo's?

If you need comparison i paid 6 months ago, £3650 for my 2002 02 Jimny soft top with about 35k on the clock. Standard, similar condition (apart from that awful roof :sick: )

There are plenty on here with many more miles on than that, although they've lived more than one life with engines :lol:

AND aircon :ohmy:
my only aircon is to take the roof off!

Drivetrain wise, test it

I'm such a numb hass lol , £4000 on the website , he's come down to £3675 , with the the bits that i first posted,
pretty sure its never been on more than rough tarmac(normal roads :whistle: ) had a good look underneath,
cant see any mud or vegetation hanging off anything , 1 previous lady owner from new,
i know as i was shown the v5, unfortunately couldn't test drive as it was boxed in by 10 cars !! :dry: but the engine sounded sweet on tickover and rev up

caution - if the car was OK, he could have soon enough unboxed it for a test drive - suspicions straight away :huh:
