    Hi James. Why not make a low bid to take a profit as a parts car or scrapper. Who else will bid? It would be interesting to see if a rock bottom bid would land it. Also if you did land it it would be interesting to have a close look at it. And if you took it off the road you could be doing us all a favour!

    This reminds me of "The horrible Alpine", a beat up old Chrysler that became a minor star in the Sunderland Echo in the mid 1980s. The dealer was brutally honest about everything that was wrong with it, it had been in a few bumps etc and was taken in as a trade. It did sell in the end, and the dealer saw hugely increased footfall as curious buyers came to see the monstrosity.
    Problem with this Nissan is its not nasty enough!

    It's not a retail car that's for sure. I'd have a nibble if it was really cheap & sell it as a px to clear. I've got an old Mégane cabriolet. It's showing 8 keepers. Really I'm only the 3rd. I bought it & it's been used by my whole family. When my daughters have used it for a month or two I've always made them tax & insure it which gives it a new keeper every time.
    When I was trading I did occasionally point out to a potential customer that every time a car changes hands the new owner spends on it putting minor faults right & it usually gets a service. But in the case of this Nissan & the type of trader you are I think you should make a Note to avoid it.

    Wouldn’t buy to retail, but good for a parts car, but all of us in the trade know it will still make stupid money

    It's a farm yard run around £150

    Automatic gearbox and the 1.2 DIG engine on newer cars only things to avoid. 1.6 petrol and 1.5 Diesel can't fault as manual to my knowledge. Having just watched the vid, maybe bid £300 tops as kick around James. New gearbox £7k or something stupid. Timing chain presumably?! If so could sound like gunfire. Wouldn't do planned 20 mile round trip to Co-op in that tomorrow. 😬🤔😦
