Miles 15,000
SZ4
Automatic
1.3
£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.

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.

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.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I am watching out for an auto Jimny myself though somewhat biding my time till the 2018 Jimny is available. A two pedal is all I am interested in these days.facade wrote: I've been looking for an auto too, .
To my mind the autos are not related to book value. It depends on other factors apart from the book. If it was an auto I'd possibly pay whatever it takes to secure one.
