Hi
I have joined this forum to see whether the jimmy would be suitable for my needs. I only do about 3k miles a year 80% of that less than 10 mile journeys town and country lanes. 20% less than 50miles. I am a carer and look after my Mum who is 97 but very able. I need a reliable ( obviously not fast ! ) car that shouldn't need to much expensive maintenance and will keep going most weathers.....
I have always loved the jimmy shape and style bu now my old estate will run out of its MOT in two weeks and needs too much work.
This is the big trouble.. I only have about £1500 or less to spend !
I have contacted a few on auto trader over the last week and they either dont seem willing to discuss what issues and one lady said when I asked about rust "Yes it’s got rust it’s 20 years old anus it’s been smoked in it is what it is!"
Any advice would be great
