Yes with the Gen 4 it's a mixture of dealers often trying to get £26,000+ for the last of the new ones, and private sellers who are prepared to sell their Jimny if they can make a profit out of it.

Once we hit the end of 2021 l predict there will be loads of them for sale at the end of three year PCP's

More likely start of 2022. I ordered one as soon as it was announced and got one in March 2019. Had to take what they offered, a white SZ4. Paid 15.5k for it. Great car, but limited to short journeys, happy to get 10k back after 3 years, not being greedy. Probably change it for a defender 90 hard top as more room for the dogs. Great as second car though.

Defenders are great but you'll find it unrefined after your Jimny.
They can be improved, mines got Discovery springs, adjustable dampers, extra soundproofing, an engine remap, cruise control and better seats from the later model.

Prices are strong but you can get a good hard top for £10,000
Just be careful of chancers trying their cluck at silly money or tarted up ex farm vehicles.

Lightning, I did a comparison of Defender and Gen3 Jimny prices for the same year (mid 2000s) and the Jimny goes for more money than the Defender does down here.

Ah OK

ln the U.K. it's the other way round, well it is at the moment.

For instance
A good 2005 Defender can fetch U.K. £15,000 where similar Jimnys are half that figure.

I have just traded my 2014 Defender and bought a 70 Reg Jimny, I have had Defenders for years and love them, but the sale price of over £30000 for a 2014 is stupid. I bought my last Defender in 2016 for £21500 and 5years later got £21000 trade for it. Sooner than later the prices for "old" Defenders is going to plummet. Genuine spare part prices have gone through the roof. Hope my wife and I enjoy our shrunk Defender for many years.
