If we wait a year the Defender will be worth the same, or a bit more.
Some dealers are asking £30,000 for new Jimnys although l am not sure they will get it.
I wonder if the silliness will subside once all the new ones are sold.
“Only” £30,995 !!

Eventually we will stop selling petrol and they will be free to a good home.
Not a sound investment, but great fun now. If you want one get it, but don't pay 30K!!!!

Although there’s talk of a commercial version next year. That’s how Land Rover got around emissions with the old Defender, they reclassified them as commercial vehicles.

There is hope then!

I actually tossed off an email to Suzuki about the dealers profiteering, l can understand a couple of thousand over list but £31,000 is somewhat excessive.
In reality dealers can advertise used (not new) Jimnys for £100,000 if they want, it’s a free country, but Suzuki did reply.

No sign of it being re-introduced.
Do Suzuki UK really mean that production has ceased, or that imports to the UK/EU have ceased? I thought they were still being built for non-EU markets

I understand that the decision to stop had been reversed and imports to the UK are going to continue along with the possibility of a new engine

But Suzuki still absolutely insist that it won't happen. Why would they say that if there were plans to start importing it again.
My guess is, that if it was re introduced it would need to have a hybrid powertrain, as all Suzuki vehicles are going that way.
Unless it's re introduced as a commercial vehicle. That's how Land Rover managed to keep the Defender in production from 2012 until it was finally killed off in 2016.
