Goodbye

[Muji]

Hello all
Just thought I'd post a goodbye.
We scrapped Muji our little K11 1.3 Automatic today. The gearbox had gone & couldn't be fixed, plus he was getting very rusty along with other bits going wrong.
We are both truly gutted he's been a wonderful little car in the 13 years he was with us. We would have kept him forever if we could & whatever we get instead will not be anywhere near as good.
Good luck to you all & enjoy your K11's, we certainly enjoyed ours. R.I.P. Muji.
All the best for the future
Dave

K11 Bangernomics

Good & cheap K11s can still be found with a little search patience & determination. I recently bought a cheap 1300cc four door with just 34,800 miles & full dealer service invoices & old MOTs documented audit trail history.

On target to get five years cheap as chips K11 “(Bangernomics)” trouble free motoring as my sole commute & runabout vehicle. I will put petrol in the back, myself in the front & just drive the thing; ~ without wasting any money on it, exactly what it was built for. That’s what I have been doing for the past 20 years with two K10s and now on my third K11. Long may the K11 “(Bangernomics)” saga continue.

The money I don’t waste on motoring funds a bonus extra four weeks 4star all inclusive Mediterranean holidays every year. That’s what I call a K11 funded bonus result! "A proper job"?

Cheers guys much appreciated
The thing that makes it difficult for us is it has to be an Auto (other half only has an auto licence) couple that with it's our only car & we'd want at least a 1.3 & the choice gets less.
One thing I would ask is, on the later 1.4 K11 auto's is it the same CVT auto-box or is it a conventional torque convertor transmission?
Cheers
Dave

My money would be on the same box ....good stuff methinks......only two moving parts I've been told.

Avoid the 1.4, oil control ring issues for days. Buy a 1.3 auto and keep hold of any good optional extras if/When you scrap it
