In this video i am preparing my latest purchase for sale - a low mileage 2008 Suzuki Jimny!
I've had a new clutch fitted already, so now i need to remedy a mystery engine light, give the car a service, do some paint work and give this little Jimny a thorough clean and some new plates and floor mats before sending it off for MOT....But will it pass?

Wow you've done it again, you seem to have a knack of finding low mileage cars with full history ! The other impressive thing is, you don't flinch from spending money where necessary, this is the real reason you never appear to have any trouble selling your stock. Many other KZfaq dealers should learn from your example , a new clutch, a service, paint correction and a full valet, blimey, how many others offer that degree of service, particularly at this price point. Well done, keep up the good work.

Nice job, i bought one a few years ago and when i went to wash it i took the spare wheel off and i could have grown a crop of spuds there, it looked like the wheel had never been off when they washed it, im really surprised with all the work you put in doing a good job, i didn't see you remove the spare when you washed it, maybe you didn't record that, but anyway a good job

In Australia these Suzuki Jimnys are extremely popular now l saw one of this generation sell for aud $24000 and when they were brand new they were aud$24000 how's that for zero depreciation because second hand they are worth more than they are brand new that is the recent generation because there is a waiting list in fact Suzuki sent 1000 Jimnys to Mexico and they sold out in 2 minutes looks like they are so popular all over the world except for North America our gain there loss and our son has a Suzuki Jimny and l drove it once didn't have much power l stick with our Baleno and my 1997 Toyota Hilux l only buy good reliable vehicles

I love a good car flipping video, you're not frugal either, no scrimping and no penny pinching. This is why I like your channel, if you can fix it you do, but if it needs as in this case a new clutch out it went and a new clutch was fitted. Again I think whatever price you put on it you will get, it was a good car and now it's a better car. Please feel free to do as many videos like this as you want, I will like and comment on them all. Did you sell the rover? Did you get a good price? 👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks very much! As I always say, if a job is worth doing - do it right! I wouldn’t be comfortable selling a car that I myself wouldn’t buy so that’s why I go the extra mile on these things! Yes, the MG has now sold and gone off to its new home so there will be an update video on that soon!

Would love one of these one day, would be interesting to see a Panda 4x4 on the channel at some point just to see how the two compare for value and utility, as I've always been interested in those too. Quick question: I noticed a fair bit of bass and consequently distortion coming through on the mic when you were shutting doors, moving the seats back etc. Could be worth looking into if you could dampen it with mic filters. Great video as always
@JohnnyGetsCash
@JohnnyGetsCash 5 ай бұрын
A panda 4x4 might be an interesting vehicle. I’d imagine there would be a buyer for one where I’m located as small 4x4s do well! Re the microphone, sometimes it’s great, sometimes it picks up far too much noise…I’m certainly not a tech expert so I’m sure it’s user error!

I recognise the reg on that... this might have been one I went to look at that before I bought my dirt cheap 2006 model 😂 Mine put the engine light on because of the EGR the other day... potentially caused by putting E10 in it (I filled mine up on E10 when I bought it and it sooted the spark plugs and clogged the EGR, they need to run on E5!!)

If it was in good condition I think you bought it cheap to be honest. 2008 auto are between 7-10k UK. Low mileage. I've been looking at them for more than 6 months. The sweet spot for these are 2006 to 2012. The automatic JB43 is more valuable for sure. Especially in city circles. Mini Range Rover cheaper insurance and Chic.

I can’t reveal the exact amount until it has sold, but I will say that I paid strong money for this one. Probably over book value to be honest and I’ve spent a fair amount on it but I wouldn’t be happy selling a vehicle that isn’t totally right and the sort of thing that I would buy myself so sometimes that means going above and beyond in terms of spend. If it’s worth doing - do it right!
