Hello,

I will buy a jimny on monday but not sure what one to get.

Basically, I can get a brand new one in a colour i dont like for $18.5k

or

4 year old one with 35000kms in black with arb winch bullbar, towbar, roof racks, dvd player, sound system, spotlights, luggage compartment, factory alloys, full service history for $15500

What mechanical issues is a 4 year old jimny likely to have? Are there well known parts that need replaced at that age?

$3k for brand new, or $3k less for a heap of mods and nice paint.

What would you do?

Thanks for any advice :)

id go with the one for 15k as it has had more spent on it but also more suited to you.

We bought a 2006 LIANA with 82k and it's a really nice car with no problems.

I've got no idea about Jimneys but aren't all newish cars made well these days so any issues you'd expect to show up should have by 35k

What's the new one worth when you drive it out the yard?

goodluck with it

You loose too much money if you get a new car.. better to get a used one... spend the extra on mods.. :P

Buy new if your going to keep it for ages.. 20+ years :wink:

DVD player is a bit flash for a fishing car that's gonna struggle towing a jet ski.

the old one...no experience with jimny's, but i would always choose a few year old car with extras over a new one. let somebody else loose money.

Brand new cars often have issues that are sorted in a few year old car.
