sutty2006 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Ive been tasked with shifting this motor for SWMBO's aunty. Its a good all round car, body work is a bit tired down the passanger side but the rest seams ok. 12months MOT. New CV boot, slight welding, and a wax oil after test.Plenty of service history62kPower steering (not that it needs it)sunroof for slow escapeCD playerRecent full new exhaustRecent New headlightsManual Power windowsManual Power locksFully miserable metallic paint with added gloom1.0 16v engine seams nippy but lacks impressiveness if you like your larger engines.2 keys, because I know you'll want to leave one in a bowl. Its a cheep to run, cheep to use turn key and go car, ready to use. I am fully out of brown paper bags to supply with this Micra, so you'll have to buy your own. Roof size perfect for dominos magnetic sign. £SOLD 07738910361 Supernaut, trigger, CGSB and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UmBongo Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Cant beat a K11 micra, great cars. Hmm, they are until one starts to take of them, it seems. My brother had one in flat red (the best colour) and used to run around in it with tyres at 10psi and covered in crap. So he pumped up the tyres and cleaned the car. It started to break down...

Danblez Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 We had one in "the family" for 140kand was still mechanically bob on when we sold it. Surprisingly good fun driving it flat out everywhere, peppy engine and decent handling in a role poly kinda way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Twin tone horns eh? Any chance of a wee recording of how they sound? I'm looking for a cheap swap for the pansy, limp-wristed beep beep that the Swift has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillmanImp Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Genuinely one of the best cars I have ever driven these Micras. Its a shame the styling and giffer/delivery boy image is so far removed from the driveing experience (he says owning a Citroën Visa...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame the styling and giffer/delivery boy image is so far removed from the driveing experience (he says owning a Citroën Visa...) What are they like quality wise? I looked at one once and it was seriously grim but I don't know if that one was just clapped out. Shame that as it was high spec in a decent colour (if the paint and body work weren't shit). 2000 Nissan Micra Si by MattLikesCars, on Flickr oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Mrs T had a 1.3 16v one many years back, it was just a bloody good car, it went like stink too. I really rate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty2006 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 you're exactly right. Everything works and it drives spot on. it doesnt rattle or bang and the quality seams to be better compared to other cars of similar age. Its a car that can be used and abused and will take it on the chin. Going to have a price drop. £375. Got to be worth that with a 12 month MOT?

CortinaDave Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 These are good. They do like to rot though, especially the front crossmember. The engines will soldier on forever while the arse falls out. My folks have a Y reg one. It's needed welding every year for the last four years, but never misses a beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_70s Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Old Jap motors have great horns in general I think. The Civic has a twin-tone which is by far the most commanding horn in the works car park. I wanted a K11 for ages, but they are getting thin on the ground up here and most are of the age where rust becomes a big deal. At £400 though you can't really go wrong, my Civic was £2.5k and is well on it's way to costing that much to keep it going for a year. A mate at college had a K11 for ages and it just went and went and went on no budget, I remember him putting in £5 of petrol at a time because he was so broke!

sierraman Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Sorry to buck the trend but the one we had I hated. Yes it was reliable and was miserly on fuel, other than that it was a foul little device, rotted like fuck, embarrassing to be seen in. I was overjoyed when someone relieved us of £300 to get rid of it. My dislike of them has subsided since 2011 when I wanted to smash the shit out of every one I saw.
