Is this Jimmy good value?

£9995 (car gurus saying a fair deal albeit £318 above market price)

Does this sound about right? If so some room for bargaining? Or is a 2012 plate simply to old and should not be considered? I guess you can buy new for £15k.

Personally I'm always weary of cars that have done <5k per year generally they have not been serviced yearly and tend to corrode more than those that have actually been moving.

I wouldn't pay the premium for silly low miles, as you say, it may be the 'market value' but it is close enough to a new car price for something 6 years old. I'd say go for a normal example with 40-70k on it and save a fair whack of cash, or go for something newer in years.

Hmmm. Zebedee isn't a year older than that with a few more thousand on and was vaguely the same sort of money. It's a matter of how clean it is underneath as much as it is about mileage and age. Without having seen it I wouldn't want to commit.

I do less than 3000 a year, you could eat your dinner off the underside of it and I service it every year no matter what, I think the next person to own it will be very happy with the condition of it.

I've been looking for an auto too, about £15k new is right (whatcar reckon to aim for £14700) , pity they don't do the poverty spec. in auto anymore, alloy wheels & plastic seat covers cost the thick end of £2k :ohmy:

I was hoping to get one for sensible money- they lose 20% a year, so after 3 years they should be worth around 50% of new price, plus dealer mark-up, so I was hoping for nearer £8500, but as you say they seem ridiculously overpriced.

I was hanging on until the warmer weather brings a price drop, there may even be some discounts about when the fabled "new" Jimny appears.
