My new Jimny - 2016 Auto SX4 was created by lard
Hi all,
Pleased to say have now managed to find a Jimny! After seeing multiple different tired ones at the top end of the budget we bit the bullet and got a 2016 auto - came from a Suzuki dealer which was surprised at considering the age of it, but 12 months breakdown and warranty was a bonus - going for new tyres tomorrow, was on the original Bridgestone Dueller H/T which were cracked and showing age, a bit annoying when it had just been serviced and a "300 point check" didn't pick anything up, but was going to put some AT's on it anyway so not too much of a drama
Next on the list is a towbar - just need to research which one! Some pics, drives like a luxury car compared to my previous 2000 manual

So far so good - so far have replaced the factory 1 DIN stereo (pioneer but no bluetooth) with another Pioneer that has bluetooth, external mic, spotify support e.t.c. - perfect match for the dash colours too
I've also put a wrap on the steering wheel (no idea how someone could trash it in only 20k!)
I've just fitted the towbar - thanks for the advice, though I went with a westfalia removable one as price was really good, fitting went well, still need to drill the side bolt in but electrical wiring is next on it
I think it also sticks out far enough to use my bike carrier on (something my 2000 one's towbar didn't enable) - will see!
