Vehicle: '01 Auto Jimny Softtop

Selling my old jimny daily. The car itself is nothing special, infact from an appearance point of view it's below average. But has been mechanically looked after and drives very well. Originally purchased as a project 4x4, it was unfortunately penciled in as a daily commuter throughout its time with me, which it did a bloody good job at (for the 10km all-round trip each day lol)

It's a 2001 red, automatic soft top with ~160,000 on clock (a legitimate guess as the dash fuse which powered the speedo, fuel gauge, and basically everything else blew years ago and I never bothered to replace as I grew that comfortable with her I knew exactly what it all was in my head)

Good points:
Mechanically sound
Runs great
Great potential
Extremely low Km's
Comes with brand new uninstalled pacemakers and brake pads
Kenwood single din head unit with all the little bells and whistles
Has a few months rego on it to my knowledge (I must admit I gave up keeping track of it though once I got my new car)

Bad points (be prepared, there's a lot of them):
Not roadworthy, would need dash fixed, tyres, pads installed
Average paint, especially on bonnet plus your run of the mill scratches
Current tyres are 29 centipedes at fuck all tread (mint daily tyres but... lol)
Smoked in (not heavily and not noticeable to me, but may be to you?)
The soft top has a slight dint in the frame rod, but it's 100% water proof believe it not.
Interior is average with a couple burn holes in it and general dirt stains etc.
You might get laughed at when you drive it (might as in definitely will).
Medium size dint in the tailgate (rest of the body is straight as an arrow)
Convertible zips a bit clagged up (inox is your best friend)
Carpet is a little 'fuzzier' than usual lol

Honestly the vehicle is as honest as you will get. It's no world beater at all, but would be a great buy for anyone with plans to build up a nice off road rig, which is what I always had planned for it but due to money and time constraints never came to fruition. The automatic transmission in the m13a is a very desirable gearbox, is quite rare to my knowledge and is fairly valuable by itself.

The car is located in Warragul VIC (100km east of Melbourne) and I would like to get $3000 for it. I just want to get rid of it as I'm paying off a new car, boat and mortgage and I need all them pennies I can get. I think it's an extremely good buy for the right person. I'm pretty confident someone with the time could wreck it and turn it into a good profit. I can arrange pics when I get a chance.

A guy is coming to look at it toomorrow. If that falls through then I'll post pics.

I forgot to mention, one of the 29" Pedes is flat. Also there is a short circuit somewhere, when the windows wind all the way up or down, it sets off the central locking. Not a big deal, but worth noting anyhow.

I'll take 2500 for it. Need it gone asap as I've lost storage for it recently and need the funds to pay for a few renovations

I have inspected this car and is a VERY good buy, the only reason its not in my shed right now, is that I needed a Jimny Auto with an M series engine.
this would make a great car in its own right, or the perfect Sierra swap.

I didn't really want to put this on car sales or eBay, wanted to sell it to someone who could appreciate it for what it actually is

Might not have a choice though. Last calls to get a pretty decent buy

Still haven't put it up on car sales. I'm very reluctant to imo. General public won't appreciate it for what it is and I can't really be bothered dealing with people who have no idea what it is and just look at the flaws in it.
