Please make your guesses as to which 4x4 this is based on before you watch the video. My guess was completely off. This really is a tank and cost USD 500k.

Very difficult to say based on video reviews as mostly are sponsored content (paid reviews) and they will leave you more confuse than giving one sided answer. What I see - from a distance - it's a cute little 4x4 for on-road and mild off-roading for newbie and fewbie level drive and nothing beyond that unless modified. Fewbie level only in winters too and not in summer as he was driving in LO gear due to 30 kmph limitation in HI gear. Driving for 15-20 minutes in LO gear at 40 degree for a test drive vehicle is very different than driving it for 4-5 hour span. I think we recently had similar Jimny in one of newbie convoy, I think @Frederic has that in his convoy. Am I right?

Yes, this was the point. I have managed to pull him down to this price down, i don't think he will come down any further. The guy is immigrating to UK with his family, wife and kids have already flown almost 6 months ago, he stayed back to put his ducks in order. So one of the reason for him selling is because he is immigrating to UK. Just had a call with him again in the afternoon, he was planning to submit the resign at his workplace next week and wanted to finanlize the deal. To be honest, i have driven accord for the last 5 years and have changed its consumables only till now along with the regular maintenance. I am not aware of any other mechanic or workshop that could help me, hence paid the price of 450 for the test thinking it should be sufficient but now as you have said they are not always the best option then i am thinking, one where to get it tested and 2nd wasted my money 😢😢 I have checked the service record and it is fine till date. He has been servicing the vehicle at proper intervals so no problem here.i read an article somewhere that if the car has high highway miles they are equivalent to half the miles in city. So in this case as his 90% ride was from Ajman to Jebal Ali, the miles in reality should be looked as 75k rather than 150k, not sure how much true is that. Thanks @Wrangeld, i think i should parallely secure a contract with car wash shops.😁 Thanks @Rahimdad for the welcome. If it is the bumper that will prove to be an issue then i think that is something that can easily be fixed, am i right is saying this? Where in its a piece of Machine, I totally agree with you, machines are unpredictable as do everything in life is and this is where the realibility of the machine comes in. I am still planning to keep my Accord, but during the cost of ownership for the accord is substantially much higher than Toyota. This is something that i was suprised to learn about. I believe you would agree with me, if the sand bug bite was to bite me and i have to worry about these points then definately i would come to these list, (bookmark done). Just another question, the vehicle i understand are in these price range but what about the repais and parts cost? sometimes the vehicles are cheap to buy but very expensive to maintain

My question is If you add a supercharger will the time pass any quicker.

Hi, Hope, all are safe. Just watching vedio on youtube on off road ability of Suzuki Jimmy to drive in sand. I wonder, with limitated power of 1462 CC, 4 Cylinder and approx 105 HP, it was giving smooth driving in sand. Don't know, whether same car has joined CARNITY drive before!!? @Gaurav @Rahimdad Or, someone show this model on sand and any experience. Thanks and take care please!! Pl see below link for sand drive vedio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtVMdAN8_rE

I like it for the fact it's a proper tiny 4x4 with a ladder frame chassis and transfer case and none of that crossover nonsense of basically being a front wheel drive with a lsd center diff. Like RAV4 CRV type crap. Depending on your skil level it's pretty much good for every thing except extreme desert driving in stock form.

Thanks. Nice observations and very well said " mild off-roading"!! May be good option for overland than typical desert drives. H'ever, looking to its cost under 85K, 7 years warranty etc. are pretty good offers..

@Emmanuel after all this much mods, armor and features it still weighs 6500 lbs = 3,000 Kgs.

Before I started I would say FJ Cruiser

So, I thought I would give a quick update here. We have fitted the secon, independent fan at the front of the radiator as proposed by @Javier M . Now the question is whether we will ever get the chance to test if it's made any difference.
