I would have thought $5K isn't much under what an 11 year old Jimny was worth before it was damaged?

What do you want it for? Parts? As a driver? If it's a driver, as the ad says, check what you have to do to re register it, because it might not be much of a bargain.

Ask for more info or go have a look at it, it seems a little dodgy as there's no photos of the front end. Although I think you're better off finding a better jimny

Advice taken... cheers.. freshwater damage in vic floods only going over the inside floors... no other damage to outside of vehicle... but he sais he doesnt really know about motor, box, etc... but he did say it drives well... he is a wrecker and sais its too good to wreck... and he has four so he thought he would just sell this one off as is... but i wouldnt pay 5k for it... i was thinking 2500... ? but dont know if i can be fked taking risk...

possibly meant QLD floods?... that being the case, why wait 4 months before deciding to sell it as a write-off?

I dont think there is such thing anymore, new rules make em all unrepairable?

either way its a waste of time trying to get em re registered, especially on a car like that

being this long the diffs are prolly full of water and corroding as well as all teh bearings and seals.

in perth you can pick up a 2000-2002 jimny cheaper than you can get a 1995 sierra! (around $5-6k)

its a 99 so it should be exempt from the write off register, that is only for cars 10 years old and newer if I remember correctly (its either 10 or 15, i think 10 but could be wrong)
