In my quest to find a decent micra ive realised that micra prices are either A) Over-inflated or B) Currently generaly rather high.
I went to see an R-reg prefacelift today with 30k on the clock. Its only faults are the corner of the windscreen is delaminated (will need one soon), it needs a darn good polish, and its got a bit of rust on the outer sill just in front of the rear wheel, with a good poke id expect it to go through. I took it for a road test and it drives like a new car to be fair, and personaly i think it drives far better than a facelift car, probably due to having no power steering, just the way i like it. It will come with a new MOT, and no tax. I like it enough to want it, and I need a car by this weekend and good Micras a little thin on the ground at the moment, the ones ive looked at so far have been covered in the usual dents and scratches, but appart from a couple of little ones on the bonnet there isnt much on this one at all, but on the plus side its white so these bits are easily fixed. But is a car like this really worth £1500?
Also, another thing thats bugging me, are prefacelifts bodywork made of thicker metal than the later ones? It certainly sounded that way when I gave the rear quarter a knock.
