Buying a k11

[joe boy micra]

I was looking at buying a k11. The one ive seen is a N reg 1.3 gx. just wondering what are the problems I should look out for? Also what power they got? And anyone got pics of what they look like?im guesing its similar to the sr.

 

[59 bhp is more than enough]

do a search mate

the main things to check are the rear of the sills and also the front cross member (you may need to look at this from underneath the front bumper). make sure the timing chain has no rattles aswell.
but as said, in future do a search.

I'm sure the GX model is due to it having a rear window spoiler.

SR's tend to have alloys, spotlights, sports interior & rev counter.

All the 1.3's have basically the same 75 BHP engine as standard.

Best way to know if you're getting a good Micra is by it having an up to date service history & a HPi check. Just a general look around to see if it's rotten inside the wheel arches, sills & front crossmember. Test driving lets you know if the gearbox is OK & if it pulls in any direction when driving, look at the drive shafts, track rod ends & suspension.
