Great, cheap little cars. Your daughter can punt about in that for a year or 2 and still get more pennies back for it than it owes you.

Check the front sub frame behind the plastic cover. They rot like fook there. My wifes friends son has a micra he is in his twentys and he pays 3000 pound insurance. He crashed his first car though.
