My new car!

[James]

Well, I wasn't expecting to posting a thread like this but my bonus came through the other day and just happened to find this on PistonHeads



130,000 miles, but with full service history, the first few years being at a Nissan dealer too.

Only bad points a little rust on the spoiler and the drivers seat bolster worn a little.

No rattles or anything, drives like a dream and only paid £800 for it! Very impressed and Ed's already tempting me with a turbo conversion!

 

[Manny]

good for you. (Y) is it a primerea gt? is it a 2litre?

 

[Arnold]

It has GT written on the back

Looks nice mate! whats the insurance like on that for you?

 

[James]

An extra £190 a year, I'd be silly not to! Yeah its a 2.0 GT

Got 36 mpg on the way back, much better than the Almera! lol

copycat

 

[paddymarsden]

nice car mate, im suprised about the mpg...the way you drive aswell !

 

[ollie240585]

You can do 45-50 MPG if you drive sensibly!!!

I managed 48 on my way to JAE, and about 35 on the way back lol.

 

[James]

copycat

Mate I don't care how much of a copycat I am when its this fun to drive!!

 

[ollie240585]

They are fantastic cars to drive. I know you was tempted the second we went to view my car. lol.

Good choice though. Be good to see it soon mate.

 

[James]

It was going out in your car that tipped the scales in wanting one over an Almera GTi!

I'll probably be over the island way sometime this week to show my mum, she doesn't know I've bought it yet!! Can have a mini P11 meet! lol

 

[joesouthgate]

any plans for it then?

 

[James]

Needs lowering hehe, but who knows what the future holds for it

Here's a few daylight pictures:

 

[joesouthgate]

[curtis]

I prefer almera GTIs but thats a good buy!

Were you cold in the first pics? or just shaking for some reason...lol (or are they the previous owners pics)

 

[James]

Yeah the Almera's going to have to go, I can't afford to have two cars i'm afraid!

I wasn't cold, but when I take photos without the flash it's really hard to NOT blur it! lol

 

[Arnold]

I'm sure the guys over at NPOC will help you spend your money. Very nice car, James, well done, now look after it.

 

[curtis]
