Renault Scenic question

[SauRoNZA]

Ouch. Seems we really should stay away. They had a Honda Civic for about the same price (90k), but it was sold already. Any other suggestions? WE originally thought a Honda Jazz, but they are really expensive, even second hand. We thought about the Toyota Versa as well, but we can't find one under 120k.

You should find a Honda Jazz for 120k or less quite easily.

2009 or the previous shape from 2008 and earlier (which is sexier in my opinion anyway).

Very versatile car and much bigger than it looks.

Remember that the Renault and Nissan share many mechanical components.
In fact, I think that the diesel engine is common to both makes.
So does the availability of parts apply to Nissan as well?

Let me tell you about my renault megane. 12kph accident into the back of a moving golf 5. Golf 5 scratched bumper. Megane 96k in damage. Enough said I think.

And ps. The mechanical parts wont drop you. Mechanically my megane was pretty reliable. Its tje electronics. Keys. Coil packs. Clock spring. Radio. Card reader. Fog lights.

Well, at DTM Renault, Nissan was all over the place - so hey, maybe!

Thank goodness for my "waiver of excess" on my insurance!
