1.3 Gx with 99,000 on the clock

[ruleworld]

i am looking to buy a micra. after narrowing down choices i am thinking about a 1998 1.3 Gx which has 99,000 miles on the clock. is the high mileage going to be a problem or should i go for something which ran 60-70K? i want to drive mainly in town with some ocassional motorway journeys. Thanks.

99k is nothing for a micra

i heard there is usually problem with timing chain after 1,00,000.

my old super s one was hanging by a thread at 100k, but it had been very much abused :wasntme: (they are usually ok till 150k ish

they all depend on the service history surely.....

Im running mine at 99k miles atm (Although its a 1.0m 16v) and its having 0 problems, be cautious of rust though, especially on the rear axle and panhard rod. I think that'l kill your car, nothing else
