Posted By: Snodvan Nissan Bluebird 1.6LX 1989 - 19th Jun 2010 2:52pm
I inherited this but do not want it. No rush to sell - it just stays in the garage for the moment. 22 years old but in pristine condition. One owner, non-smoker. Only 52,600 miles (backed by the MOTs and many receipts). No rot/ rust or damage and very, very clean. Always garaged. Hardly driven for the last 3 years (dad was 92!). New clutch about 100 miles ago ie last year. 5 very good tyres. Taxed Dec, Mot Oct. Beautiful to drive. £650 would be nice.

Issue is that the garage costs £33 month! OK, in theory I could keep it on the driveway for my son to use if/ when he returns from the USA next year - by "use" I mean as a trade in - but probably he will not return and anyway the car would deteriorate if not kept in the garage. It would also be a PAIN to have it on the driveway. I cant keep it on the road without tax & insurance - so it has to go eventually.

Nice car. Great for someone with a big family who wants something roomy, reliable and safe (built like a tank).

Bolton/ Bury area the taxi drivers also love these cars so my buddy up there tells me. I can see why - roomy, reliable, easy to drive and comfy. Also has a driver door control panel that can control/ over-ride the door lock and window functions. Works well too. I have sent my buddy the details "just in case" he knows anyone with an interest.

Unfortunately there does not seem to be a "proper" Bluebird Owners Club BUT there is a general Nissan Owners Club so I may try inquires/ adverts on that

- just looked and ironically the most recent For Sale advert is ALSO for a 1989 Bluebird

Stick it on Retro Rides or Autoshite. These are decent, under-rated cars.
