Jimny prices

That doesn't make me feel any much happier about what I have just forked out for Temeraire. Nearly new Jimny are an expensive pastime.

Well, currently prices seem a bit silly, the cheapest SZ5 l could find was £24,000 for a 2018

2020 models are up at £26,000+

Crazy! Too much lockdown money around. This is what Auto Trader thinks our 2020 is worth.

 

Crazy prices. Autotrader recommended selling price for my 2019 auto with 12k miles is £23560, which is £2500 more than I paid new with accessories.

Maybe when the Commercial version goes on sale, prices will come down for the previous models.

lt depends on how available it is, if they all sell out immediately so you can't get one, prices will remain high.

There's no information online as to when the Commercial version will go on sale, deliveries were expected to start in "June/July 2021" but as of May 2021 dealers have "no more information" as to when the vehicles will be available.

l did a valuation on WBAC and l've never had so many emails from them since, every day they've emailed offering more money.
(but still not as much as Auto Trader thinks it's worth as a trade in)
l don't know it they've got some connections with car dealers when somebody gets a valuation, and they pass on the details to see what interest there is.
l also asked for a valuation on the Defender and have had no further emails on that one.

By the way our Jimny is not for sale! l was just interested to see what they would offer.

I was fortunate enough to get one of the first batch to arrive in the UK, and paid book price for it.

After a couple of years of enjoyable ownership with some indifferent and extortionate servicing experiences with the local dealer, and hankering for some cosseting and technology, I decided to look around for alternatives.

An anticipated need for 4x4 ability never materialised, so I settled on a second hand estate from a well known German manufacturer, and entered my Reg No. ‘for a guaranteed part-ex value’ on their online salesroom.

On this occasion, ‘the computer said yes’ and offered me very nearly £4
K more than I had paid new for the Jimny - an offer I could not, and did not refuse.

So, I’m afraid that this rat has left a perfectly good ship,.
