Scrapping a 9 yo car ..

chinesedragon

Well put Steve ..My main objective is the cost of replacing my not so reliable (due to its age) and not so fuel efficient (20mpg) primera 2.0l auto for a reliable/good MPG city car ..At the moment the best price is the Micra 1.2 visia 3dr ( £6K @ 6.9 % APR )

Cheers Hintza will have a look at online brokers as well ...

have you thought of a nearly new one might get a better deal

That sounds like a good deal on the Micra.

I'd also have a look at the Toyota Aygo, Peugeot 107 and Citroen C1. They all have Toyota's nippy little 1.0 VVTi engine that averages 63mpg (officially); they're also only £35 a year to tax.

Toyota and Peugeot may be reluctant to discount these little cars but Citroen often offer 'cashback' deals - in effect the car's price is just discounted by the cashback amount.

Hi Guys thanks for responses ..

Hi eslick... Ive looked at some nearly new/Pre-Reg cars and because I can only get under £1K part-exchange the final price is roughly the same as the Nissan Micra deal ie £6K. Eg the same micra 08 reg will go at £7K-£1k px = £6K Wonders whats the lowest price on pre-reg city cars? Do u know of any good websites/dealers ?

Hi Steve..I like all those 3 cars you mentioned..pity they dont offer scrappage discount on my 9yo car. Citroen offer £1K plus PX but only towards higher spec range ..not the C1/2/3 ...Damn ..
