Looks like a clean example Kev and I like the colour 😎 Sort of better value for money that a 3 door if I’m honest 👍🏻 |

Problem there would be this will be wife’s short journey car, so had to be a petrol, and all else apart, we are sorely missing load carrying capability of F1. Can take seats out of F2 on occasion, but that is a pain min. |

but shouldah kept Funnerburd Wan. ...that had gone through my mind.  Still, not too far of a journey from Kev's Cottage to pick that one up. Maybe my mind is going, but has somebody done a sneaky front fog light upgrade on it? I'm fairly certain the XT3 didn't have them as standard. Admit it, you just don't want the dug in the jag! Poor wee hound R. |

There is THIS one Kev which you've probably seen but just gives an idea of prices low-ish mileage ones are fetching. I've been keeping an eye out for Mrs P for ages now but as has been said not a lot coming on the market and those that are are snapped up. West country had a low mileage 3 door in a few weeks ago and that was on for just under £8k that went pretty quick. My mates got an 01 3 door auto low mileage that he got for his mother and she loves driving it around, think he paid £800 for it as it needed a bit of work doing which he did so a bargain. I’m trying not to say anything but F.........F..........F..........F Yep Charlie hard to believe but there you go :yes: |

It’s was just an alternative to the 3door Rav4, much younger metal and switchable 4 wheel drive for winter driving ....also now as rare as the RAV4’s. I watch the 3 doors on Auto Trader and they have dwindled down to a couple of high mileage examples, even the dealer that has them all in stock as next to nothing . I would never go for and early example due to the problematic gearbox ECU’s. If any do come up for sale with winter on the way they will get snapped up very quickly ☹️ After a very brief look, I would say that looks nice  yup, that generation Suzuki is not fuel-efficient, but it is a smart looking motor, and if a low mileage driver, how much impact does fuel economy make or matter? If I were on the lookout for another smallish 4WD, the Vitara would 100% be on the "have a look at" list :TU: |

Looks the perfect 3 door auto 👍🏻👍🏻 Aye...... Perfect for anyone daft enough to pay the price. It's all about value, not price. Our 3-dr went through its thirteenth MOT yesterday, again with no advisories (it's only failed twice in the past for a non-functioning high level brake light for some strange reason). Never has it had any advisories except one for a discloured indicator lens on the front wing. Everything still 100% operational after 15 years, no rust anywhere and the paintwork still gleams. Serviced once a year and runs like clockwork. Even manages 35-40 MPG on a decent run and 31mpg jogging about town. I am happy. OK, it's not the E60 M5 that I keep looking out for but I reckon it shows that it was worth what I paid for it. |

Aye Jase think it went soon after your post, on saying that I noticed that they put another back up for sale that I thought had sold a while ago?? I've stopped looking now for a 3 door auto as there's no way we'd pay the prices asked for a decent one now :no: |
