obviously over priced and I wouldn't dream of buying it but its more of a game but

how many miles do you reckon you would get out of it before you would hit trouble. tyres excluded.

I'd expect the body to disintegrate before the oily bits.
Not crazy money for what it is

I always do all fluids and filters on a car within afew weeks of buying. Preventive maintenence and an untrustworthy view on sellers should bump up your milage.

That being said id be saddnned to see such a unique car bought and driven into the ground by someone with a laissez-faire attitude to servicing.

Drain the carb, and tank.

Dry barn; be grand.

I had one of them years ago. I got 130000 miles out of it before the engine gave up.

Meh,
I dunno,it certainly doesn't have the look of a 40k mile car to me.Looks rough.It might be one for the clocking thread:pac:

I actually sow it on the road few days ago and it looked very clean for its age. Obviously I did not see it from few feet distance.

I think those pics make it look more rough then it actually is.

That a 1990 Nissan Micra is listed under "Classics" is worrying me more than the milage it might do or not.

26 years old is pretty old for a car to be fair.

That is it. It is just an old car. Not a classic.

If i would be looking on a website for a classic, in the "classics" i expect to see 1966 Mustangs, not 1990's shopping trollies Micra's

If you look after it then it could last many more years.
Not my cup though, I prefer the k11.

That’s back when Nissan built great little cars, with only 39K that thing will run for another couple of decade’s easy, getting insurance? Not so much
