Just found & helped a friend buy a 2000 Micra 1.0s for his daughter's first car http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150562801754&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT
The car is a little cream puff, pretty much immaculate & in amazing condition. One careful elderly owner & 13K miles in 11 years.
Personally, I'm not that impressed by super low mileage & think it overrated. My thinking is a car is a complicated machine & it actually benefits from being used. That said, we checked this one out pretty thoroughly looking for noisy chains & rattles on start up, rusty bits, squeaks & groans & all the usual stuff & really couldn't find anything amiss apart from it having the original tyres which are developing small cracks in the sidewalls. Nothing came to light on a 15 mile test drive, or on the 110 mile drive home. Fingers crossed, this looks like a great buy.
Now, it's due a service & I was wondering if anyone could recommend a reliable & trustworthy Nissan specialist in the vicinity of Maidenhead to Reading to Henley to Slough-ish.
TIA.
