So, the Dacia Sandero... the UK's cheapest new car @ £5995

Please take into account that the finance offers don't apply to the basic model, so if you're financing it, the difference from access-ambiance suddenly only becomes £300. And you don't get the 5 year warranty FOC on the base model...

I've sold 2 Sandero Access and 3 Duster Access in 2 years.

They seem great value but they are so horrifically basic it's scary!

The CVT box is fine, it’ll do the job just fine on a £14k Stepway. The EDC box is more expensive so being retained for the renault range

Ahh Thx, just discussed with Mrs PR she's happy with a manual.

Thinking of a stepway comfort in blue, I notice pre orders attract a service plan foc. Is it worth pre ordering or better to wait until launch?

You don’t have to go ahead if you pre order, and you’ll get your deposit back. The dealer you choose will just get a list of people who have pre ordered to contact and then you can actually order or not.

I wouldn't pay 13k for a Dacia. Sorry. I like them but at 13k... a few k more and you get a VW UP! GTI.

The whole positive of a Sandero is its like a Clio Campus. Cheery. Cheep, basic and ...cheap.

But a Sandero is the next size up from an Up. And £13k gets you an auto, which IIRC you can't get in an UP, never mind a GTI.

You're comparing Apples and Eggs. Dacias are cheap when directly compared to a direct competitor.

As a serial sheddist who hasn't owned a brand new car since 2002 I am thinking more and more about one of these. I am pretty certain the Essential TCE 90 in Highland Grey for £10,555 would be all the car I really need and would easily last me for 15 years+.

However, my girlfriend can only drive an Auto, and the only Auto version is the COMFORT TCE 90 AUTOMATIC which is £13,355 with metalic paint.

My current shed is 14 years old and getting a bit tired now, and it seems all second hand cars have gone up massively since Covid. I would probably be upping the shed budget to £5K next time, but I am thinking I could put £5K down as a deposit on one of these and hopefully pay under £100 a month?

On PCP I would think so. Unfortunately we don't have the finance schemes available at the moment to quote properly.

Eggs for eggs again.

First drive.

Blown away. Drives lovely, Wireless CarPlay works great, speakers are ace. Adjustability of the seat and steering wheel are great. CVT box is actually really good, electronic handbrake and keyless entry a great addition too.

We will sell them by the dozen.
