BUT NOTE THE BACK LOG DUE TO GERMANY CLOSING AND HUNGARY TAKING OVER EUROPEAN STORES
Allegedly the staff in Germany simply walked away, no handover of systems or service to Hungary, its chaos!

Another question...sorry. Do you know if the speaker cables are already in the rear just no speakers? Or will I need to feed cables from the head unit? Thanks..
I had 7 days free insurance from suzuki to begin with. I had to cancel my existing policy with Hastings as they couldn't find the car so quoted me £1500! I'm now with Admiral for £500 (I'm young enough not to be able to drive other cars on my policy yet which is why its still high!) hope that helps.
Anyone who has a new Jimny in the UK, How much were you quoted for your insurance please? And who did you go with?
I suppose i'll need to be insured before i collect the car? or are you covered just to get it home from the dealer?
Any help would be very much appreciated. TAR.
The 'Free' Suzuki 7-Day insurance allows the dealer to get your Jimny taxed with DVLA and ready for delivery - whilst you faff around trying to get other quotations. The 'Free' policy does not cover younger drivers - from memory it specifically excludes teenagers and those in their low twenties. It also acts as a 'Big Data' gathering exercise - so the insurance companies computers get all your latest details on the system and can cross-check if you are or have been telling any untruths! They were so uncompetitive in terms of response times and price that I purchased a policy elsewhere. This thread seems to be heading well off topic - so back to the infamous 'Waiting List' discussions?
Off topic and inaccurate. I can assure you the Suzuki insurance does cover young drivers, I am one of them.
Although it was always unlikely, If they had come up with a half decent competitive quote I would have jumped at them because I don’t see any other competitors being in a position to replace new for old in the foreseeable future should the worst happen.
