Run away from this dealer and car.
As has been previously stated check the mot history.
It has a fail on excessive corrosion to the body mounts, but a clear pass ONE DAY later.
That can't happen as there was way too much work involved to put it right, it's a clear case of the dealer having a 'friendly' mot inspector.
Sounds more than a bit shady to me.
You will have seen that there is a great deal of e excellent in depth knowledge on this site from members who really know Jimnys. About a year ago I, like I imagine you are, was a novice to the Jimny but simply liked the look of the car and wanted to drive a simpler car more similar to the cars I drove in my youth....some fifty years ago.
I was lucky to find a 2004 automatic in a local garage...three months warranty, ..
no significant advisories on any of the recorded MOTs.....for £3000. I don’t know if I overpaid but it was a small local very non-pushy trader and it was what I was prepared to pay for a fun second car. When I bought it it had done about 75000 miles so not much when spread over 15 years.
The last years driving has been fantastic. A few small repairs...new disc and pads and new auxiliary belts but nothing more than I expected from an older car and the best thing is if you open the bonnet you can actually work out what are the various parts of the engine. Fantastic!
SO KEEP LOOKING..?YOU WILL FIND ONE AND WHEN YOU DO THET ARE FANTASTIC CARS!
That's an insane asking price! Steer well clear. Buy on condition, not mileage. I'd always go for a private sale over a dealership. Check out the facebook groups, there are lots for sale on there from genuine sellers.
