its a group 5 insurance so bare this in mind
personally i think its overpriced for what i conceive as a high mileage micra with a different badge, i would offer an autotrader private price of £1295 or walk.....

Nice cars these, sold one a while back, a 1996 1.3 CD. Nippy, but handling not very good, and not all of them have PAS, so check this out. I sold mine for £1250 (I'd given £1000 a few weeks before) in 2004, so I'd offer £1350 for the one you're interested in.

Well, bearing in mind the discussion about BMW 5 series below, I would suggest it's worth the extra couple of hundred quid over something in Autotrader with a shady past.

They are sound little motors - only snag might be the insurance, so I would check that out first.
You could haggle on price a bit, but if the car is 'known' to you then I'd probably buy it if I were you. You could spend £100 looking for something cheaper and waste a fair bit of time into the bargain.

The car did most of its mileage early in its life by a district nurse. The current owner has had it for 5 years with absolutely no problems. I have checked out insurance and its ok. The car has alloys and central locking too. I just wish it was 49000 miles not 79000! Would a Micra be a better buy?

District nurse = stop start short trips. Never a good thing. How do i know? My mum was a distict nurse, and went through an exhaust evry 18 months or so as a result.

Parts and possibly insurance will be cheaper on the Micra - but if its a known good car then I'd go for the Toyota.

Suggest you check the insurance quote for the Starlet against a Gp 1, as there could be a substantial difference. www.confused.com should be your fastest way of doing so. Will you be insuring in duaghetr's or mother's name? Some ins.cos. now offering NCD accrual for named drivers.
