Is this Jimmy good value?

First Registered NOVEMBER 2012 (62 Reg)
Miles 15,000
SZ4
Automatic
1.3

£9995 (car gurus saying a fair deal albeit £318 above market price)

Does this sound about right? If so some room for bargaining? Or is a 2012 plate simply to old and should not be considered? I guess you can buy new for £15k.

Personally I'm always weary of cars that have done <5k per year generally they have not been serviced yearly and tend to corrode more than those that have actually been moving.

I wouldn't pay the premium for silly low miles, as you say, it may be the 'market value' but it is close enough to a new car price for something 6 years old. I'd say go for a normal example with 40-70k on it and save a fair whack of cash, or go for something newer in years.

I do less than 3000 a year, you could eat your dinner off the underside of it and I service it every year no matter what, I think the next person to own it will be very happy with the condition of it.

I've been looking for an auto too, about £15k new is right (whatcar reckon to aim for £14700) , pity they don't do the poverty spec. in auto anymore, alloy wheels & plastic seat covers cost the thick end of £2k

I was hoping to get one for sensible money- they lose 20% a year, so after 3 years they should be worth around 50% of new price, plus dealer mark-up, so I was hoping for nearer £8500, but as you say they seem ridiculously overpriced.

I was hanging on until the warmer weather brings a price drop, there may even be some discounts about when the fabled "new" Jimny appears.

I am watching out for an auto Jimny myself though somewhat biding my time till the 2018 Jimny is available. A two pedal is all I am interested in these days.
To my mind the autos are not related to book value. It depends on other factors apart from the book. If it was an auto I'd possibly pay whatever it takes to secure one.
