Max about an hour or two after posting my rant this came up
www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/suzuki-jimny-low-miles/20480958
only niggle is the 4wd is a button and not a stick. Spoke with the owner and he went out and checked the boot and behind the headlights and said yes a bit of surface rust but not structural and no holes. He's about 300 miles away £2580 = €2900 think we might have a Vooky for crimbo / Christmas .

Its the same year as mine, and mine is a convertible and therefore far more prone to corrosion than a "conventional" bodied Jimny I would have thought. Nice colour though.
I too would prefer to have levers and not buttons for selecting 4wd but have had no problems other than the led light on the 4L switch has failed.
Check under the floor in the boot where the jack goes for corrosion, also its very difficult to get to see but I think try to get a look behind the headlights on a body mounting - take a mirror-on-a-stick and a torch to see around corners and difficult places.
It seems very low mileage for the year. The engine is probably the M13a cam-chain job like mine which is ok but the g'box is likely the R72 so make sure its not making any 'orrible noises.
You've probably already found it but check out the BigJimny Wiki and get clued-up on all that might relate to that vehicle.
Looks nice from the few small (exterior only) pictures but better to see it up close in the real world and on a bright day. You never know - the interior might smell rank from 3 year old spilled milk or something!
Very Good Luck Dirtbird
