More white goods - 2017 Dacia Duster 1.6 Access 2WD
Discussion
Took delivery of this lovely appliance yesterday
I've been rolling around in knackered old sheds for the past few years so it's a revelation to have something comfortable, quiet and fully working!
132 miles so far and I'm impressed - the 1.6 petrol engine isn't as wheezy and underpowered as expected, helps that it's quite light I suppose!
Yes it's basic but I've never been fussed by all of the ancillary stuff in modern cars and it doesn't have much of the annoying "safety" stuff like blind spot assist which I had in a hired X Trail the other day and found it more of a distraction!
All in all it seems to be a bit of a bargain for £9500 - time will tell

Looking on Autotrader they seem to hold their value pretty well - you might lose £3K in depreciation over the next three years - most cars lose more than that on the first day, just rolling off the forecourt.
Keep us updated.
I did notice that however this one will be here for the long term I think Keep us updated.

Congrats on the Duster. I'm just coming up to a year in a DCi Logan. Nothing has fallen off. It's actually a nice car to 'drive' in a daddy/tartan rug sort of fashion. Zero VED and 60 mpg. :-)
Good folk at Dacia forum will help with the radio bits, plus the essential £6 bonnet seal to keep dust out of the enginey bits.
I think they added air-con to the next Ambiance spec for 2017.

Not for Duster - AC in Laureate and Prestige only. Good folk at Dacia forum will help with the radio bits, plus the essential £6 bonnet seal to keep dust out of the enginey bits.

I would've ordered an Ambiance if it had AC but all it has is a stereo, front fogs and a bit of chrome inside.
