Went to view this car today:

Nissan Almera Sri 1.6


Had to wait for it to be returned from its MOT.. so stood there for an hour.. looked at few more cars, Rover 25 1.6 3 door (which i wasnt against before I seen this almera) Renault Megane Coupe which was Funked...

so anyway, Almera was brought back... I notices cracked dash board, dent on the door, few scratches, nothing major... Engine sounded sweet, no smoke, no oil leaks....

Car had Major service on 08/08/2008... only 58k on the clock...

Then i sent a text check and it came back as no record...

I asked for log book... was told because the car was in germany it isnt registered in the UK yet...

so in the end I wasted aproxx 3 hours, didn't buy the car even though i Loved it...

Are all dealers like that??? not tell bad things over the phone??

Is it LHD?

Wouldn't insurance be affected if it's an import as well?

Why do you want an almera, just curious as there are far better cars out there for that price.

Almera's are awful cars, mate had a 2.0 16v GTi was a piece of shit. Rattled like hell, rusted to bits, engine was the only decent thing on the car. He soon fucked it off!

If you're currently driving a Hyundai Accent, then i'm sure you'll enjoy the step up into the world of Almeras.

I'd never buy an almera let alone one of the back of that ad. If the dealers can't even be bothered to wash it for a pic i wonder what else they can't be bothered to do.

looks gay as arseholes that almera, and the colour is like someones picked a load of bogeys and flicked them at the car.

seriously, you can get so much better for your money.
