Best get one quick then, after the pound crashes in April, that will be more like £64,000. Probably take 18 months to recover...

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

At the moment the EU impose a 10% tariff on Japanese cars so after we leave the EU they should be cheaper. I know there is a new trade agreement with Japan agreed with the EU last month but it is not expected to be ratified until some time in 2019.

And the pound is weak meaning Suzuki prices rise every month at the moment

By all accounts it will get a lot weaker when we Brexit with no deal.

Mind you, I could predict that anyway.


I'm likely having one, but not until I know how much they are, how much extra for the auto, what the towing weight is, whether there will be a poverty spec. (and if it can be auto), and preferably, when they are stuck with a batch that won't sell because of all the pre-orders :)

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

WOW.
And WOW.
My Celerio PCP will end fairly soon and a new Jimny could be a replacement but then again??????????????????????/
