this micra 86bhp diesel , bought by me new 2010 for £6800 no miles just registered at the end of the old micra line sale. MODS lowered 60mm Wolfrace split rims 17inch 205 -40mm just fit snug, k-n flat filter , a diesel power plug -in box, , cut inch off gearstick fitted nex momo gear nob. from 86 bhp now 112bhp , but its the tourqe power you wont believe. It pulls for england and if you quick with the gear change you will leave some red face,s. cornering on some nice soft tyres is a dream never lets you down. All togeather with the wheels off ebay??? obout £7800 thats brand new , done now 10,000 need new front tyres. SO if you can get over the looks go for the last diesel there 86bhp when the old were ony 68bhp,being diesel you can tune to max . insurance road tax dead cheap an the micra can hammer some serious motors.

The last car I bought that cost less than your Micra was a TVR Chimaera for £4000

Leaving me plenty of change for paying the £250 VED.

I then sold it for £5000 as unlike your Micra old TVRs don't depreciate.

Being a car enthusiast pretty much the last thing I consider is VED.

At least he is enthusiastic about it. Can't knock £30 tax either, seems like a good first car.

Spelling and punctuation fail, dubious styling choices and posted in the wrong section. I fear this may not end well for you.

So??

PH is about how you drive and enjoying motoring, no room for badge snobbery.

I can think of better ways of spending 7.8k.
And the roadtax savings will be off sent by massive depreciation, a void warranty and the cost of modding.

Yes, i am in a st mood tonight.
