May need to sell my Jimny

Hi all,

The day has come. Her first MOT fail.
Depending on what I can sell it for, I may need to say my goodbyes.. so I need a valuation.

54 plate, dark green (metallic)
It's got about 55,000 miles on it and few battle scars.
No heavy mods. Just roof lights.

(personal plate not included)

The engine runs as it should..and once I've scraped the barrel to get her out of the MOT bay, there'll be some brand new rear brakes - shoes and cylinders and swivel bearings.. so i got that going for me, which is nice.

So yeah, what do you think I'll get for it? - be honest!
Cheers,
Luke

What was the MOT failure then?

It needs some new rear brakes - shoes and cylinders and swivel bearings.. and the clutch is on it's way out too.
(It's been tightened up once already)

You wont get much especially with several issues with the brakes, which may put a lot of people off.

So you may as well fix it and keep it

I plan on getting it all fixed.. then selling it. .. however, every time I get it fixed, I DO want to keep it.. then 6 months later, she's back in the garage and my hands, back in my pockets!

So she needs to go!
I'm going to aim to get around £3000 when it's in perfect working order. MOT'd, the lot.

I think that's aiming way to high I know some one that's been struggling to sell one that's around same year and mileage but never been offroad and is near mint for less and the price keeps dropping, they defo don't sell well this time of year I think you iver be selling low or waiting till the winter, its a sad thing but meny will agree its true

Yep I would agree. The prices have dropped like a lead balloon recently.

Dang!
Alriteyy. Thanks chaps!! I'll sell it in September when I'm back to Uni.
If anyone's interested, I'm taking offers now

Hahaha Thanks everyone. Have a good weekend!

you'll need good luck to anything near £3k

You've been greenlaning on some muddy lanes which have worn your rear brakes out because the mud has stuck in the drums. That's the nature of the hobby mate, no need to sell up!

Do the work yourself, if you don't know how, learn. The parts are about £50.

Then keep it and carry on enjoying it.
