Hi James. Why not make a low bid to take a profit as a parts car or scrapper. Who else will bid? It would be interesting to see if a rock bottom bid would land it. Also if you did land it it would be interesting to have a close look at it. And if you took it off the road you could be doing us all a favour!

This reminds me of "The horrible Alpine", a beat up old Chrysler that became a minor star in the Sunderland Echo in the mid 1980s. The dealer was brutally honest about everything that was wrong with it, it had been in a few bumps etc and was taken in as a trade. It did sell in the end, and the dealer saw hugely increased footfall as curious buyers came to see the monstrosity. Problem with this Nissan is its not nasty enough!

@@ChopsGarage I was one of the 1st buyers for WBAC in Lancashire, and a guy turned up with a Chrysler 300C, 39K on the clock, 3 years 1 month old with full dealer SH. Car was clean but rather worn steering wheel and side-bolster on the driver's seat. Passenger seat was immaculate ... There was only one MOT which tallied, but something wasn't quite right. I asked the seller to leave it with me for an hour ... I rang the phone number for the servicing dealer ( London ), the line was dead ... I googled car dealers with same postcode, and found a trader on the same road. When I rang him, he told me that the Jeep-Chrysler Dealership in question had closed 18 months ago, and I was looking a dealer stamp from 3 months ago !! Finally, I rang BCA, who told me the car had gone through Blackbushe not 2 weeks before with 167k up it !! It had been a limo transfer car mainly doing Airport runs in London !! Turns out the former Service manager at the dealership, had " acquired " the stamps from the shut dealer and had the software to amend the mileages, and was buying up high mileage stuff and selling them on .... I did a witness statement and I believe he spent some time as a guest of Her Majesty, I think he'd done 16 cars before he was arrested !!

I personally wouldn't buy any Nissan built after 2001 onwards. They are basically Renaults now. You only have to look at the old Nissan micra k11 model compared to the badly built K12 model which was built after Renault bought into Nissan in 2001. Their cars have become progressively worse since. I've seen brand new Nissans in showrooms, where the panels don't line up properly. Its interesting that you pointed out this in damaged one you was looking at. It probably wasn't the accident damage that caused that. It more than likely came out of the showroom like that when is was new.🤣
