Hi everyone,
I'm new to these forums, just sort of introducing myself really. I got a micra a few weeks ago for free off freecycle (dunno if you've heard of it, it's like an online mailing list where people post stuff that they don't want).
I think it's the 1L K11 variant, only had one lady owner who had it serviced regularly, has five doors and only done 55,000 miles. Also came with a full tank of petrol. Not bad huh? Any ideas on how much it's worth? I'd guess about £300 but I don't really know how much second hand micras go for.
I'm pretty pleased with it, compared to my old car it's a speed demon and handles beautifully - I used to have a 1978 Reliant Robin, that was an absolute pile of ####. I rolled it into a hedge at 60mph (with only three wheels its difficult not to roll the damn thing) and although it glued back together again, I didn't really fancy driving it any more so I sold it. My little claire (yes I named it, does that make me sad?) has almost as much character as the robin though, she's a great little car. Feels so speedy compared to the plastic pig!
I'm just really happy with it, I'm really glad I was given it! On a serious note though, is there anything I need to look out for/service/check? Any stuff that tends to fail after that many miles that is normally overlooked?
Thanks!
Sam
