Buying a Micra K11 Blues 1.0i v16 (60cv) for first car

[Joaotellez]

Hello, Im new here in the MSC and Im trying to buy a Micra for first car but I would like to know an opinion of experts like you guys...

So here it is:

Specs:
Nissan Micra K11 Blues 1.0i v16 (44Kw /60cv)
Year: 02/1999
Fuel : Petrol
Mileage : 129000 KM (80 1568 Miles)
Price : 1500€ (1143 GPB)

Notes:
-Only had one owner (wants to sell because doesn't use too much the car, so it uses once a week to keep the motor running);
- New set of 4 types Michelin


I uploaded some photos for you guys to give me a better opinion if its worth to buy it or not... You have to keep in mind that this buy is in Portugal (Madeira Island )... So its a little bit more expensive that in the UK...

Waiting for your reviews

Thank You,

Joaotellez

Hello Joao. First of all welcome buddy.
I don't want to disappoint you, but with that bit of damage, mileage, and being a one litre.......that's a bit to dear, even though its Madeira.
In England that would be a £700 car in my opinion, maybe even less. So if you know the difference in the prices with us and yourselves, then make an offer, I'd offer her £800 tops mate, try her at £700 starting price, and the best of luck.
Remember, there's always loads of cars around buddy.

As Davyboy has said that's a little expensive, if you have your heart set on this one @pollyp did a good write up of what to look out for.. basics are front cross member and sills rust badly so check those, timing chain rattle you'll know that when you start it up and drive.

First of all, welcome!
Personally I think that's a little tatty for the money, without knowing the situation of buying micras where you are.
I'd keep looking, but I know what it's like to have your heart set on a car.

I did that with my Super S, I got over excited, rushed into it and it turned out to have more rust than the titanic.
