You would have thought Suzuki dealers would have more class but once money gets involved it's a free for all.

A frikin weird saga the whole thing.
Hi Andy
Always good to read your posts from time to time.
Yup, Suzuki GB lost my support about 6 months back. It wasn't the most logical decision but I just felt "I don't need to be mucked-about like this".
(Dealer on the other hand, was great throughout.)
SURELY, any corporate ought to be able to handle PR better than this?
After "Diesel-Gate" from VW we get "Idiot-Gate" from Suzuki!
Anyway, I think your decision to get the 'original' 1.5 un-blown, non-hybrid Jimny will stand you in good stead. You might never become rich, but there will always be a market and it'll be supremely reliable and easy to fix.
Enjoy your Jim - and I'm envious, but in a good way!
Guy
Hya Guy. Thanks for the kind words mate.
Yes i am shocked how Suzuki have played this, not fair at all. The dealers it seems are a seperate entity from suzy GB, and lots of dealers are taking the mickey imo. Bunging all the accesories on them and saying they arrived this way is pure bunkem!! Shame on them.
Mate, get yourself on the UK facebook pages, there are gen 4's appearing all the time. A blue one is going for list price and has very low milage.
If you want a gen 4 zook, ya'll need to start hunting hard!! They are about still!!
Cheers Guy mate .

My gut-feeling though is "Once bitten, twice shy". I will probably wait to see how the market settles.
A 'commercial' Jimny with two seats could actually be ideal for me but I would have to wait and see.
In the meantime there is "loose talk" of a cheaper Defender being considered by JLR, and the Grenadier supposedly coming along in South Wales.
Things are definitely in a state of flux. Maybe one of the above will come with a "Flux Capacitor", who knows?
Cheers

Limited stock likely to continue to arrive in UK until June. After that, it's likely to switch to a commercial vehicle, with a rear seat kit available for dealer fitting. Seems this is how Suzuki might get around the Fleet Average CO2 emissions issue. There is a possibility that the switch to commercial vehicle status might increase supplies but this is an unknown at the moment. Cost of commercial vehicle + rear seat kit also unknown. Lots of unknowns!

Great news! As a matter of interest, is your dealership charging you the standard Suzuki brochure price, or whacking an extra large dollop on top? My local dealer is adding 25% on top of the asking price and stating supply and demand.

No wonder us dealers get a bad reputation with nonsense lies like this.
No dealer gives any other dealer a jimny there is too few stock for that, why wont they just be honest and say we want to make the most profit out of a car we wont be getting much of.
the sales team possible wont know what extras the manager wants to put on as he is likely paid on profit and the sales team are paid per car.
