2003 Renault laguna mirage

Don17

Test drove one today
All leather , fully loaded, everything works nct 2013
Have about 3 k to spend
It seems like a lovely car very tempted .
Any opinions??

I'd have no qualms about buying one if
a) it's in good condition with some service history and NCT
b) it's petrol, 1.6 or 1.8 litre
c) it costs a lot less than 3k

Could be a good buy in this case.

If it's a diesel with the 6 speed gearbox, tread more carefully. Might still be decent though.

Thanks,
It's 1.6l
2.5k
Nct 2013

Research the (numerous) common problems before you decide.

2500 euro? That's way too high. I got a '02 1.6 for €900 just a month ago.

+1, I'd almost expect to get a 05 facelift Laguna for 2500.

There is a facelift, 1.6 Privilege from a dealer on carzone for 2950. IIRC the Privilege spec. is higher than the Mirage spec.

€2.5k for a 9 year old Laguna is madness.

Thanks again,
Yea some shocking problems with the laguna alright. 05 onwards seems to be the best bet
I know avensis, Octavia , mondeo is the way to go but fancy something else , anyway the search continues.....

Did you see the 05 one I mentioned. Asking 2950, Privilege spec.

I've no knowledge of this individual car, maybe it is a heap.

But I stick with the original comment that if you buy a good example of a petrol Laguna and check it out well you've little to fear. Even better if it is a good example of a facelift model.

Don17

Thanks, must go and look at that one.
Actually honestjohn.co.uk says that the 2005 models should be more reliable.

Don17

Also I know you guys are sayin 2.5k is madness for a laguna but there are 2003 mirage spec models goin for nearly 4k on carzone.
