NOTE: This is for members and their private sales/wants.
There are rules that suppliers have to follow (and many of you do follow the rules). However there have been a number of instances recently where "suppliers" have broken the rules.
Suppliers/Dealers or anyone selling with a commercial view in mind CANNOT post here unless responding to a specific request of a member in a "wanted" post.
Suppliers include people "breaking for spares" on a regular basis, when purchasing spares members should ask a supplier what they contribute to the running of the forum

Based on my own experience, if I should buy another Jimny, I would be looking for a 2004 for nicer seats, m13 engine, better gearbox, AC, or a later than 2009 for the facelift, and better gearbox.. Early for off-road, and later for daily driver. 05 to 09 has had some gearbox issues.
And welcome to the forum!

No, the auto gearbox is totally different in an auto and you would be ok with your original year range, but stick to Yakuza's years for manuals. The gearbox you want to avoid is the "R72" from years 2005-2009 (revised bearings & prop after 2009 solved the R72 problems I think).
Convertible ones my be different tho for some reason.
Have a look in the wiki links at the top of the page for buying guides and common problems to look at when viewing

If I go for an auto (not sure yet) does this still apply?
Thanks.
