Probably as dull as cars can get, but I reckon as a family bus you couldn't go far wrong with this.

I borrowed one of these from a colleague when working in Barcelona, more than a few years ago. The only reason I remember it at all is that it was so unremarkable to be memorable.https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/nis...
Even rubbish cars have "something about them". This thing had nothing. Absolutely nothing.
I see the example here has covered 57,000 miles. I did about 570 miles in the one I had, and wanted to kill myself!

Absolutely brilliant write-up!Power: not much
The 106 has no power steering she was 90 and could steer it (no wimps apply)
No electric windows you have use a bit of manual labour
No electric mirrors no central locking (you use the shiny key thing)
No rear wash wipe no cigarette lighter (so no sat nav buy a map only a £5 )
No air bags no air con (open the window you can reach both from the drivers seat)
Bought a car last week, won't do a readers thread not worth it. Basically cheap motoring.
Renault Megane 1.5 dci 100bhp, no history bought off a scrappie and body work was covered in crap. Back windows don't work.
Photo from advert, you can't see the plethera of cobwebs and crap on paintwork.
![](https://thumbsnap.com/sc/DwskXeFo.jpg)
I has leather, 12 months mot, good stereo and stops and goes and does 55mpg all day and 30 quid tax, hpi clear and 91k miles.
So far bought a tuning box for 30 quid, really makes a different, is actually quite fun. Two times car wash, oil, filters changed. Tried to fix back broken window. then realised it looks like someone has already tied.

So far engine sounds like a bag of s
t but is running, lumpy and clunky, slight smell of weed and green tar covered windows(bit you can;t see) but cheap motoring.
Car price 425
Train -25
Full service - 22 (had oil already)
Tuning box off ebay - 30
500 quid for running car..

That doesn't sound cheap for an iffy RenaultI was going to sell a mate's 2.4 JTD Alfa 156 - high miles, due a cam belt etc and saw that similar cars were selling for sub £150 on ebay so I'm banger racing it.
Shame really it's a good car - he did 20k in in last year without issue.
Valuing a car in the hundreds is always going to be a finger in't air exercise - to replace the tyres could cost more than you pay for the car - to put things into perspective I'm currently sat next to some professional valuers talking about £80k secondhand Mercs and discussing how a plus pack can add £10k!

Picked up £160 worth of large, leathery rover barge last week. Stuck it through an mot and failed on a couple bits. So it'll be getting new shocks at the end of the month, some polish to clear up the headlights and s clip on a steering rack gaiter and I'll be running around in quite possibly the polar opposite car to my Nissan ![hehe](/inc/images/hehe.gif)
