Jimny owner here. I am not sure about the Paj mini but the Jimny does have low range 4WD which makes it very much capable off road. And I’m pretty sure the Paj does not have a separate ladder chassis with two solid axels which the Jimny does. Then again, on SL roads you may find the little Paj more comfortable over the Jimny.

Jimny has a common engine (G13bb), which you can find on the Swift as well, so engine spares and stuff wont be a big issue I believe. If you see one, make sure to check the oil seals on the gear box and transfer case coz these Zookers have a reputation for bad oil seals. Also, check for steering wobble when doing around 70kmph, coz the Jimny my develop wobble due to worn font king pins, etc.. These are not big issues, if you like outdoors, this`ll take you out there for a budget (and most importantly, will bring you back).

No problem at all.

Sorry, im not 100% sure about the prices in SL though. I`m guessing around 1.4 - 1.8 mil, but just a wild guess. Someone here will better SL market knowledge should be able to let you know.
