Jimny prices

If someone offered me £30K I would say no, I have mine just as I like it now.
Knowing my luck if I accepted the only ones available to buy would be ones with the G Wagon body kit 

£58k to equip a new Defender to SZ5 spec, a Wrangler £50k+, Landcruiser £42k+ 

No wonder Jimny prices are firm.
 

This may well be one of the driving factors but having also got a cruiser I would say that the comparison is very limited in scope don't get me wrong but the cruiser is a much more thorough design and is a very competent tool. It's like comparison between an apple and a gorilla, not really the same sort of thing.

Agree. Yet these are the four offering genuine off-road capability.

The Jimny remains the only lightweight, affordable, compact option.

My South African friends always told me the Lancruiser was the only answer. All had experimented with Touregs, Cayenne’s and Range Rovers but always returned to the Landcruiser.

l've been looking at selling the Defender and buying a Wrangler LWB
Reason being that Defender prices are high at the moment, l've been offered £18,000 for my 2005 LWB County SW
The list price (of the Wrangler) is indeed £50,000 and some are asking that for new ones.
However if you look around you can get a new one for £40,000.
ln fact l was offered a brand new LWB Overland petrol with the sliding roof (a £2,000 option) for £40,000 a few weeks ago.
They had another at the same price, a LWB Sahara diesel
Sadly both were out of my reach. l had started looking at the older version but the new one from 2018 onwards is much better.

While we're going a bit off Jimny here does anyone on here have any experience of Isuzu d-max or Toyota Hi Lux? I'm thinking of something long term after Jimbo is paid off (definately keeping the Jimny).
