Should I keep my ageing Primera?
I own a Nissan Primera, 2004 registration, 2.0 manual petrol hatchback.
It has done 140K since I bought it in 2005. So far it is doing fine with a few things needed to be replaced. What are your thoughts on keeping this car for another year may be two if possible?
What other used cars with similar specs are worth looking at, budget is upto £14K. If Nissan were still making this car, it would have been my first choice, without any doubt.
I have a very good local independent garage called Autokare who look after the car well.

The car is worth so little that if it is reliable the best thing you can do is continue to run it. Change the oil frequently: every 5,000 miles.
