This is an absolutely stunning car, that drives beautifully. Without a doubt the nicest Jimny I've seen and one of only a handful of this generation to come up for auction. I do have few points of clarification regarding CA buyers as this is an imported vehicle. In its current configuration, this vehicle is INELIGIBLE for registration in the state of CA. As it has a gas engine, it is possible to bring it into compliance with CARB requirements. However, this is a costly endeavor at a reported $8k+ as there is only one \u201ccertified lab\u201d (G&K) which is allowed to do the requisite modification and testing. So, if you are a buyer located in CA I can only sell you this vehicle if 1 of the following 3 conditions are met: (1) The vehicle will be registered, stored, and used in another state, (2) The vehicle will be used exclusively on private property, or (3) you plan to bring the vehicle into compliance with CARB requirements. Any other questions related to CA registration should be directed to me via the \u201cContact Seller\u201d button, so that the chat does not dissolve into a discourse on registration laws. Feel free to drop a comment or send a message with any other questions/comments/etc. Good luck to everyone!", "likes": 2, "timestamp": 1732302584, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 16185973, "authorName": "VansFromJapan (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/vansfromjapan/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@maddog6198- - Thanks for kicking things off!", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1732302615, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 16185985, "authorName": "VansFromJapan (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/vansfromjapan/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@bisonviewranch - Correct, no cruise control.
