Loved the few days in a Jimny

Post by Turboted928 » Mon Nov 24, 2014 9:20 pm

Hi all,
Just returned from Cyprus where I rented a Jimny for a few days and fell in love with it.

Am now looking to buy one or something similar. Was even looking at an X90 on autotrader but at £900 for a 1996 model it seemed a bit pricey.

Hope to have something in time for the winter.

Regards
Martin (Turboted928)

What's your budget? I often see cheap Jimny's on gumtree, usually with work needing doing like this one: http://www.gumtree.com/p/suzuki/suzuki- ... 1087959683

Also, welcome!

X90's are Vitara's with a different body on, so some of them are 2wd, some are 4wd, just like Vits.

Almost all are 2WD, only a handful made in 4WD and by Jove they are sodding ugly. Only 2 seats as well, best avoid as body panels availability will be zero. Can you tell I have insomnia yet? :hahaha:
