I haven't been on here for a while and may have missed this conversation. If so, apologies.
Our local Suzuki dealer told me yesterday that sales of new Jimnys are suspended due to them not meeting new emissions law. They have one in the showroom they are not allowed to sell. They recently sold an ex-demo with 7,000 on the clock for £500 over the list price. Is this correct and is there any more to the story?

Recent develpments have shocked us all. In a nut shell, suzuki dealers have the freedom to charge what they like for the new jimny. There have been cases where new jims have sold for 24k from a dealer. Some dealers like mine sold for the RRP, but others as mentioned are charging extra.
Even on autotrader second hand gen 4 jims are selling for well over RRP. Take a look, some going for 23,24 and beyond!
If you can find one new with 500 quid slapped on, its considered a good buy. Also enquire to see what extras have been slapped on the car, some dealers are kitting them up to add profit to their coffers.
In my opinion, in the near term, prices will only increase, what with the news of holting UK imports, or rather they will be trickling in.
If it's down to EU directives that the Jimny is discontinued in it's current form......lucky we aint in that institution any longer......Japanese cars should be getting cheaper?
Thanks everyone. He told me that Suzuki had said they won't get their annual bonus if they sell it before they get the OK. He did say they are changing hands for the prices you suggest.
