Seeing this and many of your Clips, James..! I am forced to wonder if there are Still such things as 'Driving Tests in Uk..? Due to the amount of Bumper Front and Rear Repairs you have to Do..! My Dad Taught me to Drive under 'Threat of instant Death..!' ( Ex Royal Marine) If I bingled his Precious Mini in The early 1970s. He would get me to walk around the Car and Make myself Aware how long it was. And "How Damaged It Was Not..!" Practiced Reversing repeatedly Down a tight Driveway into the Garage 'Sweating Blood' in Fear..! Don't get me wrong I have had an accident or 4. But in my Defence 2 of them, I was in the Car being Driving by a Reliative who Crashed into My Parked car, twice for Freds Sake..!! Great Video mate. Good luck. 😎

Had a 1.4 manual (gear sick is notchy but not bad). Drives like a tank, very well planted, feels like it would handle any road surface with no trouble & the steering is really light, great around town (good seat height/visibility). Spacious, practical, comfortable & cheap to run. Only issues we had were eletrics, multiple bulbs replaced (sometimes same bulb replaced repeatedly same day) & the electric boot lock stopped opening at which point we part ex'd the car.

I think you'd do well to have 2 or 3 higher value cars mixed in on the lot. Peeps may come to view (kick tyres) a h/value motor and buy a cheaper car, or vice versa. Even customers with lower budgets will feel reassured about quality and price to see you sell higher end cars too.

Good service history (particularly oil changes) are essential for Nissans with the small petrol engines between 2003-2010 ish because if neglected, the timing chains like to stretch (no noises or rattles either) just a pesky EML light to show for it. Ask me how I know ☹️

Had a very similiar Note for past year, first car. It is amazing. 12 plate 1.4 petrol biggest difference is a touchscreen media thing. The space in these are incredible, im doing labour on the side and been carrying petrol lawnmower strimmer pressure washer shovels rakes leadblower hoses tool bags and still had the front passenger seat free. Coffee tables and side tables at once. All sorts. Its quite a boxy shape, with the backseats moving forward and down and the false floor removed you get tons of space.

Amazing that a car of that age has always been serviced at a main dealer often stops after 3/4 years. Personally I can't see why the owner kept going to the main dealer and they certainly paid a lot for the priviledge even if the car got a wash! but bonus from your point of view.

@GenaF2 жыл бұрын
My mother had a Peugeot 205 junior back in the day which she always had serviced at the dealer (until I got it when 10 years old). I kept telling her to take it elsewhere as dealers (at that time) all had YTS kids working on cars whereas she was paying top banana for labour. If they said it needed something doing, it was done but it's the only car I've ever known which supposedly needed new brake pipes EVERY MOT due to supposed corrosion! I never trusted them but she did. 🤷🏼♀️
