Re:Re:Re:New Jimny Commercial
Was going to be owned and loved and would have had a "make my SZ4 an SZ5" project
Been "gazumped", sight of extra money too tempting for dealer - I refuse to pay anything but list and yet again there are a lot of dubious practices going on.

Our local dealer, family owned and were offering them at list price.
Not sure how long their waiting list is though. Had three people on it yesterday

That's bad news Martin , I am sure they know how influential you are in the Jimny world? It's not going to bode well with PR for Suzuki all this profiteering..
Plus they have missed out on any tutorials you may have made to help promote the brand

I have only had that happen to me once when we were looking to get Spare Jimny. Made my blood boil. The selling dealer was under no illusions as to my feelings on their behaviour. Yet more proof were it ever needed that 99.9% of car sales people give the rest a bad name!

The ONLY connection that is marked "if fitted" is the GPS aerial connection, so I would guess this is not fitted to the SZ4 commercial as it will not have satnav.
However the e-call system DOES need GPS and there is a GPS feed to another unit for this. Unfortunately it appears that the entertainment cables for the REAR SPEAKER wiring is not fitted to cars with e-call because the e-call audio is fed to a new speaker fitted in the rear passenger speaker position
Just to add, both the satnav gps and the e-call gps modules look like "GPS Pucks" (Google it) in which case it would be simple to buy one from eBay and wire it in.

Most won't even take your registration of interest or pre-order.
My local dealer now has 200 people on their waiting list.
Although l imagine not all will come up with the money if offered a car.
Some will be speculators hoping to flip the car for a quick profit.
There were 20 people in front of me on the waiting list for a Jimny by 2020.
l had been on the list since the beginning of 2019. Although some dropped out or wouldn't have a certain colour, it never got down to me being offered one.
They did offer me their demonstrator at a fair price, it was a 2018 ex-press fleet SZ5, and l very nearly bought it, but ended up buying a nearly new 2020 one privately.
l thought we paid top money at the time, £24,000 for a 2020 SZ5 with 1,300 miles, but you can't get one for that now.
