i don't think that was ever a thing?

Half it's value after the first 3 years maybe.

I always heard it was 1k as soon as it was driven away.

It's worth what the market will pay for it. I can't imagine a strong market for one.

You are also battling against Nissan's current scrappage deal also which makes a brand new Micra even cheaper which will push down resale values of used ones further.

Check the usual sales sites and see if you can find what others are trying to get for theirs.
At the end of the day it's worth what someone is willing to pay.

There are 7 142 Micra's on Carzone, all in dealers. The cheapest is €13500 with 1k km.

€12500 would buy that car, so yours will pull less than that.

You can get a brand new one under the scrappage scheme for €12k excl metallic paint:

Ach he'll surely get more than that

colm_mcm

You wanna bet? These are deeply unpopular nowadays, its rental fodder.
You can buy one brand new for less than €12000 and they're still not shifting that many.

magentis

10k.

colm_mcm

What's a 151 demo model/ex rental/used worth in that case?

magentis

Where are you buying a new one for 12k?

colm_mcm

New micra, €15095, €4k scrappage. Add €1k for delivery etc

magentis

I think hitting a 6-9 month old car for 7k because of a limited scappage scheme is excessive!
Come on it has to be worth 10k.
Take a look on carzone etc.

magentis

I should have read the op sorry.
7 months old,7 grand lost?

Cheapest 2014 micra on driving.ie

Watch it not sell...

mullingar

If new ones are 12k, selling a 7 month old one privately will only get €9k. Advertise €9,999 and take the first offer over €9k

Since Renault bought Nissan, quality has nosedived. I'd sooner have an old K12 Micra than a new one. Had a rental one there recently, they feel like they're made of tinfoil.

Latest Micra is a major drop in quality. It's a car aimed at emerging amrkets rather than Europe now. Feels very cheaply made and low rent.
Not comparable with a Fiesta, Polo or Clio anymore.

Curious, why is she selling it on so soon?

colm_mcm

They're built in India now I think.

Thought it was Thailand myself but either way, illustrates where the car is now aimed. The 90s micra led its class in many ways, particularly reliability and build. Now it's just second rate.
