None of these MK2 vehicles ever came with alloy wheels, but the Laureate model had very clever wheel trims that look like alloys. I had an '18 plate Sandero Stepway, top spec version, and it never gave me any problems. I chopped it in for a new shape '71 plate Sandero Essential that I paid £10.5K for on the road. Great car. I had that for two years and the main dealer offered me £9K p/x against another new one. That is the other great thing about Dacia's, they hold their value extremely well and are one of the best cars on the market for residual values.

I had a 4x4 thing which the lovely mot guy put down rusty underneath, Well it's a 4x4 so has a bit of SURFACE rust as you would expect but nothing serious... Lovely colour, Low miles and very high spec... It killed the sale but covered up the number plate on my pictures and the phone melted... A guy turned up who knew about 4x4s and bought there and then. Not saying it's stopping your sale but it wont help it. If i was you, don't buy any more and stick to what you know sells, can't have money tied up and most likely won't make any money any way. If i buy a car that does poorly, I'll never buy another... You say Insignia's sell well for you, I had a diesel auto with low miles that i had so long i had to buy it a birthday card. Will never buy another even though i think they're great value and look great. p.s. subbed and liked 😉
