Would 88k put you off?

Its a 2007, so really 5-6 years old now

AND...3 owners? plus the current, then me = 5 and the millage would soon be up to 100k in a year say

they're workhorses, so no.

easily do 20k a year in one of those if you're a builder/plumber etc.

The heads can go pourous on them , but nissan extended the warrenty for it , may be worth looking into if you havnt already? I used to be a nissan tech , but apart from that they are decent trucks

I live on a Farm, I do a bit of freelance work in the evenings and week ends so will use the back for tools / bits

Also its a bit muddy here in the winter, dusty in the summer and I have a clean van which is not ideal for some of the tracks we use

If you are using the car to nip to the shops, i'd personally want something much smaller.

My car is a pain in the arse in car parks!

I absolutely loved mine in the 12 months I had it and it never skipped a beat, it was the fact that they're thirstier than a supercar that eventually made me sell up!

Didn't the earlier ones of these have a habit of setting on fire? I might be totally wrong.

I thought they were brilliant on fuel considering.

A friend has had an auto and a manual both 2006 cars.

auto use to do 29 knocking around but on the way to work and back usually 33 driving in and around nottingham.

He now moved jobs and does 140 miles a day in the mile one and does 36 mpg on the display, with probably 90% motorway.

What do you drive? I've got a SWB transit van and a Transit Tipper and they both fly into supermarket parking spaces

We had ours from 2008 to 2010 - from 0 to 26k miles or so. No problems bar someone stealing a side step

Tail happy in the wet, capable in 4wd, pretty decent on fuel compared to the other tow cars we've used and more guttsy than the equiv L200

I'd have another but just found it a bit 'commercial'. That was the Outlaw trim I think.

Easy 30+ mpg on a long run at around 80mph. High 20's when booting it, mid to high 20s when towing.

Most days i'm in the Queens Square multistory. The 308 is not massive but it's not a Corsa. Pain in the backside up and down the levels. Astra we have is awesome, love driving that in town!
