What appears to be happening now with the Jimny is, owners are looking at the prices being asked and putting theirs on Ebay at £30,000+

ln a sense you can't blame people if they think they might trouser a £10,000 profit.

l predict a Wall Street Crash as potential buyers rebel, won't pay the £30,000+ and prices start to fall with people trying to dump their Jimny on to the market before it's too late

Compounded by the first Jimnys coming out of their PCP agreements this year, causing an over supply situation.

Plus the Quantitive Easing by Suzuki, effectively flooding the market with Commercials

How does the Lada Niva compare?

LHD, poor towing capcity (1000kg), limited availability of used models, classic car ownership experience and pricing. I think I'll end up with a Vitara and have to live with the limited off-road ability.

You can get a very nice Defender for half the current price of a Jimny
And it will last you forty years.

When you say a defender will last you forty years you are, of course, referring to the "Triggers Broom" variant.

And how much would you need to spend on it during those 40 years?

With reference to Martins comment, I am reminded of the owner of a new LR Ninety (5 pot engine) who I met on a lane in Shropshire. I was in my LC and the conversation came round to reliability. He told me that his motor had required a new wiring harness as the original one had burnt out and a new cylinder head as the original one had warped.

"But," he said smiling, "it's been absolutely reliable".
