Few questions... was created by doncarlyon
Anyone know of any Jimnys going cheap, not bothered about overall condition as long as it runs ok and is road worthy. Dents, scratches im not bothered about. Even a Cat-D, im not bothered.

What are running costs like? mpg roughly?

Are parts fairly cheap? pads, discs, tyres?

Im thinking of getting one to use for some green laning and for getting to and from work.

Mpg is not as good as you expect - book says 36mpg but currently I'm getting between 20mpg - 25mpg. This is about the same for all lifted jimnys with larger wheels.

Dalcrue Auto Salvage just outside Perth have 3 damaged hard tops and 1 soft top on their site. I don't know if they're for sale or parts only as one of them's a wreck, looks like it's been roled. Could use that weird shell on the other post ;)

Mine's not bad on fuel, easy gets 30 mpg but does drop if booting it up the motorway.
