Hey all.

Yes, I did use the search function, but my Google-Fu is a little bit off. That, or I'm not thinking of the right search terms.

If I were to look for Jimny, what would be the go? What breaks, what doesn't?

Examples of things to look out for, from other cars, like I know Sierras rust, and I know if you use the G16 block with GTi heads in a Swift, you're going to have cooling system issues. Stuff like that.

I'm not going to be heavily modifying it, it's going to be the second car duties, with the very occasional off-road fun day.
The main driver will be a newly-licenced P-plater.
The budget is only about $4000. Manual, ABS and airbags are mandatory.

Thanks for doing my homework!

I know what I'd look for. I'd look for this (and then immediately stop looking): viewtopic.php?f=7&t=43202

^ that, but in a manual.


Lots of info on this page;
What to look for when buying a Jimny


FYI; If you type your exact question into search on the top of the page this is one of the first results that comes up and it has lots of info.


*Edit;

I'll give you one more link for free, there's also some good advice in here; Jimny questions

Thanks guys. I did say my Google-fu was off today.

That's Ok Grasshopper... Try the search on this forum (linked in my last post).

The AZ search can be a bit annoying as it will ignore some words (or a lot of words) but if you rephrase your question or try clicking the buttons spread all over the page eventually you will get some results.
