Long term subscriber from New Zealand here. The Nissan Note is one very reliable car. We get the imported newer models here especially the epower model and it's a hoot to drive and super economic. I have seen them being sold in Ireland and going for silly prices. The note epower is the first version of the epower system. I currently own a 2017 note epower and it has been brilliant.

For distance from Wales, AutoTrader tells you how far it is AS THE CROW FLIES. On this basis you are quite near. But to drive from Wales to Devon is a lot further. Still, the buyer should have looked to see where you are.

We have a sheep grazing field of just over 5 acres. I use my 1999 Vx Omega 2.5V6 Auto Estate to pull a trailer around it when fencing etc. It was retired from road use last year as the bodywork was getting a little untidy but makes a great tractor!

I looked at Micras & Notes before buying a Suzuki and they are quite cheap, but I guess that is what the market think they are worth. The newer shape Micra is quite pricey, so maybe people are just down on these era Nissans, plus there are so many out there.

AutoTrader shows the distance to the car, not immediately where it is. Someone on the coast of South Wales would see you were 34 miles away and think you might be in Bristol, Merthyr, or Carmarthen, all of which would be an easy hour’s drive.

@@ChopsGarage It also gives the distance as the crow flies. For instance you're shown as being 41 miles away from me but I'd have to swim the Bristol Channel for that otherwise I'm looking at 150 miles up the M4, down the M5 etc.
