Why did you pay that much for such a small car?

I hate these questions.... Almost want to throw a wasp nest at them.

My answer to that is and always has been, "If you're asking the question, you won't understand the answer!" Or "Even if I explain, you still won't get it."

Ok, so I don't think it's that much to pay. Look, in my view you get an awesome little truck, tough as nails and easy on the eye. And you can still get some good coin in a few years once you upgrade.

Also, regardless of the "bad jimny, polluting monster, banned from the EU", reputation, you know it's actually a small and efficient well engineered beast. I'm really happy with the running costs.

Or, does that sound like I'm some kind of Jimny junkie...?

Given that my 10 year old Jimny has just passed it's emissions test with figures so low that the testing machine took 3 attempts to register anything at all I would suggest that the pollution aspect is more a political get out than a genuine issue.

Everybody has different metrics, what's good for one will be bad for another, so if you have one it's the perfect price and size, no argument.

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)

I paid £800 for mine. I thought that was quite reasonable!
