They're a very capable drive. Ford bench marked the Mondeo against it. The only reason the Mondeo was rated better was because in later incarnations it looked more interesting.

Absolutely not, at the time it was something of a revelation.

Why's everyone so excited about the primera? It looks fairly uninteresting to me.

It's admiring the sheer care that was taken with it. Keeping the NCT's, tax discs, books etc just shows how well this car was looked after.
If everyone looked after their cars like that then viewing DD would be a much more pleasureable experience.
I would wager that they will get exactly 1100e for it.

Mk1 primera was a mini milestone. they were a very capable car at the time. My uncle had one in 93, a Primera "invitation" with ABS.
That was fancy enough at the time.

the front bumper looks a bit pushed in. Still for a 1992 car it's pretty clean looking.

3 owners on the book kinda contradicts the ad.
If its the old brown book then the present owner has had it a long time, so 2 extra owners early on?

Looks to be in great nick though

Classic reliable car, low mileage and Full service history. Why mess around with 20 year old cars when a tried and tested recent car is the same price? Though that A6 is a lovely motor, it must be said.

1900 but a sneaky 1750 would take it, I'm sure.

That Primera is nothing short of amazing.

These yokes are a nice place to be, shame its 16 years old now, however... 1100 is a bit much. Try 850? Take it or leave it, I guess. So much room for activities though!

Indeed it's a V8, plenty of poke. I'd be watching for dodgy connections in the boot, poor connections etc

CRV is taxed too!

Big old cars become cheap no matter what. If the government abolished the tax rates in the morning, I can guarantee there would be very little of a price increase.

Sure look at those fantastic cars they got in Top Gear yonks back!
