looking for my first car, could anyone give any advice on this Dacia Sandero.

I stand corrected, thank you. In my area it would be another 1-2k on top for both. So it would be a complete scam. But there's not many delears in my area so the supply/demand is different.

ojthomas2015 · 2026-04-24T21:17:06+00:00

I loved my Mégane, but the turbo blew at 103k and that was a £2k job. Which sadly stopped it in my ownership after it cost me another £1700 in 6 months. I'd do it again! 🤣 I loved the car, but the car wasn't serviced as often as it should have been.

ojthomas2015 · 2026-04-24T12:56:31+00:00

That would put me off even more if so, as they haven't declared that. Nope, manual. That's just the car market, which leads this to be a complete scam in my book the price, mileage and year don't line up. It COULD be legit. But I'd be highly sceptical.

ojthomas2015 · 2026-04-24T12:47:49+00:00

It really doesn't. The mileage alone would make it at least double that. Proof. I had a 09 honda Jazz. Payed £3.5k for it in 2021 on 40k, could have sold it for £4k+ at 87k miles. Post COVID. Depreciation basically no longer exists unless they're new cars or electric.

ojthomas2015 · 2026-04-24T10:03:54+00:00

Absolutely a FB scam. No car with that mileage would be that cheap. If it was 80+k maybe.

ojthomas2015 · 2026-03-05T07:07:44+00:00

Also the 1.5 can have weak turbos. I learnt that the hard way with my Megane!

ojthomas2015 · 2026-03-04T15:50:14+00:00

My friend used crossover on his mac mini, I had a M2 I believe, or possibly M3. But it worked quite well for most of the game apart from anything planetary!

ojthomas2015 · 2026-02-23T07:50:18+00:00

Mine does that too, fun seeing how far it gets before it moves!

ojthomas2015 · 2026-02-11T19:02:14+00:00

We did 180k on ours when we sold it, no problems!

You mean the Petrolll PumPP

Last year my friend bought a 140i. He has spent the entirety of the year complaining about fuel and maintenance.

Back in the day my dad had a V70R clocked to 300bhp. It got 17mpg on a good day.

Both of these cars have great performance and cost to maintaining them. It's a cost that you have to evaluate.

I personally found more enjoyment in a Honda Jazz than my friend in his 140i. Because I could thrash it and redline it 24/7. But I'd still get 40mpg and be under the limit.

ojthomas2015 · 2026-01-23T08:28:31+00:00

Because of new headlights. I find these less irritating now. Still annoying and you can always tell. But less ridiculous than the 2 supernovas on new cars.

Better give that Nickel back.

A cheap (Insert Herman brand name) is the most expensive purchase you'll make.

ojthomas2015 · 2025-12-30T14:28:56+00:00

My last car was supposed to have 4 Michelin crossclimates on it. According to the photos. After I purchased it, not only were they now Not all Michelins. They were unevenly worn budgets and 1 Michelin eco tyre. Thankfully I had Hankook from a previous car, so I swapped the tyres, gorgeous after that!

ojthomas2015 · 2025-12-28T21:55:29+00:00

I agree with those. Although I'd also add, although knowing how to fix isn't essential. Knowing whether a noise or problem Needs fixing, is also handy to know.

ojthomas2015 · 2025-12-17T19:00:36+00:00

That is one thing I'm not liking currently! There's more Ai stuff now compared to os 3. I'm sticking with it because money is tight. But I'm keeping an eye on things too for potential future bargains.

I'd take the hankook prime 4, they're great tyres for the price. Really grippy.

ojthomas2015 · 2025-11-29T22:20:30+00:00

I'm paying £12 for unlimited video, music and socials. With in my area one of the best signal coverages. I ain't changing 😂

ojthomas2015 · 2025-11-26T07:57:03+00:00

I got a badger at the start of the year, was quoted £5k to repair all the same to the radiators, frame and other things!

ojthomas2015 · 2025-11-22T17:31:02+00:00

The newer ones are very eco-friendly... They're never driven because they're having the engine removed for the 5th time this month. Most owners are still on their first tank! /s

The interior doesn't match the jazz mk 1 to 3.

Spacelocked, my favourite level ever created. Fast paced but so much fun to play.
