Looking for my first Jimny!

Sold my Range Rover through Autotrader at Christmas ( I took out the online package from them).

I had a lot of responses, all genuine and keen. The first person to come and view bought it. However a number of the calls were from dealers who offered me cash in hand at a long way below asking price. They all wanted to give me the money and come and collect it straight away. I challenged them all on the low cash price they offered and they all said it was low because they would have to put new tyres/blacked out windows etc. etc. so they were all looking to "Pimp my Ride" and then sell it to yoofs.

Well going to see little ooky tomorrow and very excited.

If I do go for it then I'll put my clio on autotrader and ebay as I'll need to shift it pretty quick!

as running 2 cars isn't really an option for long, but I need at least 1 for getting to work and my wife doesn't drive so she's not got one I can borrow. Always tricky getting a new car if your the only driver in the house hold!

Mine doesn't drive so it's ok, we'll see how long it takes before she starts asking for lessons!

Glad you made it home ok. I was a little concerned ... Not that you wouldn't make it home ... But that you were happy with her.

Looking forward to seeing some pix of her getting dirty :)

Well hopefully tomorrow may see a little bit as we got married in a old country house with lots of land around it. So popping back tomorrow for our anniversary so I'll see what puddles I can find! :)
