Today for 200 £1 coins you can become the proud owner of a low, low mileage car with a valid MOT!
How is such a thing possible you say? Easy...it has been owned in the past by Stevie Wonder, at least that is my conclusion as there isn't one body panel that isn't dented, scratched or marked in some way.
Anyways, here are the(few) good points:
- Valid MOT until July (and may even pass the next one now I've changed the illegal tire)
- Genuine mileage of 53,xxx miles backed up by old MOT's (still being used daily)
- Starts first time everytime
- Ultra reliable as a Nissan should be, no fluid leaks
- Great on gas (around 40+ MPG)
- Drives (relatively) well (but you need to be patient as 106hp and a slushbox aren't gonna win you any drag races, except against mobility scooters)
- It has a CD player that works! and is loud!
- All electrics (apart from A/C) work!
- Plenty of equipment like power everything, sunroof, alloy wheels (probably taken from a skateboard given the size), remote that works, etc...
- Interior cushions can be used as a floatation device in the event of landing in water
And now the bad points which is a list as long as John Holmes' *****:
- Not one body panel is unmarked. Even the roof has dents, probably caused by fat birds sitting on it)
- Paintwork is a mix of bright silver, dull silver, faded silver and bird poo
- Slower than remapped mobility scooters
- No ABS, only 1 airbag. Hint: don't crash into anything whilst driving this vehicle.
- As much fun to drive as a shopping cart. Actually I've had more fun with shopping carts.
- Headlights have as much candlepower as a, well, candle
- Wipers are as noisy as a group of frat boys during spring break (like aforementioned frat boys, they do the job though)
- 3-speed automatic transmission (Yes, 3. Even my son's last Lego Technic project has more gears)
- 4 wheels, 4 different brand of tires. Yay! (At least the sizes are the same)
- A/C works as well as a racoon smells good
- Even the wipers are mismatched. How this is even possible is anyone's guess
- I took the rear headrests out to transport a bumper, then promptly left aforementioned rear headrests in the street
- Interior doesn't need a valet, it needs an industrial-grade power washer
Anyways, enough blablablablabla, here are the pics:
