Global spec/price differences

I'm in the Philippines and purchased a new Jimny in 2015. At that time it was about $17500 USD for the automatic. It was about $1000 less for the manual. Price hasn't changed much for the 2017.

Asking price versus specifications is probably a good approach. When I bought mine, it didn't come with air bags or anti-lock brakes. It has the M13 engine but it is non VVT. Obviously a difference to what was being sold through the rest of the world market. Although the engine apparently hasn't changed here, I believe the safety features have now been added. I'm not in the market for a new one (although might be in 2019) so I haven't paid too much attention.

Oh.....and janjetina is lamb. I guess I should have known since my grandparents were from Croatia but I I had to google it.

That's right, janjetina is lamb. I'm in the Balkans after all, it's sort of a currency

Almost half of the price was import tax and fees..

Jimnys where imported to Norway in bulk. 1999 models where sold 99-2002 as long as stocks lasted.
then again 2004 m13a models where sold 03 -04
2005 VVT models 05-06 (07)
2008 or 09 models (facelift bumper) sold until 2010 (11)
then i lost track but i think 2012 models was the last bulk. 2013 or 2014 only 17 where sold, one of wich where bought by one of the richest guys in Norway Olav Thon. www.hegnar.no/Nyheter/Motor/2013/06/Her-er-Olav-Thons-nye-bil

2014 was the last year of Norwegian MT Jimnys NOK 235000,- acc. to tax office lists, NOK 255000,- for AT. ~23-24500£ with todays currencies.
