Nissan Lucino 1994

So. How to describe this lemon?
Well, it still goes and starts every morning, even if you have to turn the key twice! It was our regular mode of transport until we bought a new car this week. And it got a warrant! BUT (and it's a big but!), this car sucks.

It goes approx 0-100kph in something like 3.6 light years. If you're looking for a car for your teenager to learn in, it'd be great, cos you'd know for sure they couldn't go over 110kph on the motorway!

It's starting to look a bit tired and tatty. You could comfortably drive your mate home from Oktoberfest in it without worrying about your upholstery, but don't let your mother sit in it with her nice white dress on. There is definite 'wear and tear' to understate the matter. And no, you can't put your foot through that hole near the clutch pedal - it's just where the carpet has worn through. That would be cool if you could though - it'd probably go faster under Fred Flinstone-style foot power.

We recently had the clutch cable redone, so that's good as new (probably worth more than the car at $350 fitted!). We have changed the oil, spark plugs and fuel filter. The rest of the car sucks the proverbial kumara.

The radio is so budget as to be non existent. We didn't use it. You can't even get Mai FM or some AM station. Consider it radio-less, it saves the frustration of trying to find a radio station that has more music than static.

Probably the only good thing about this car is that it has a tow bar. We've used it. It works.

No guarantee how long it will last. It might still be going in 10 years....it might crap out tomorrow. Anyone wants to take a bet on 10 years, you're on.

Basically, we're trying to get rid of this thing before it decides to turn evil and consume our entire family one day. $1 reserve. Just take it. In fact, we'll pay you. Well, no, we won't. But heck, $1 reserve. You want it, it's yours.

Feel free to ask questions.
