Morning All
Just got a 2009 Acenta dci (86), not my first Nissan but this is my first everNote.
It was a toss up between this and the Jazz,xsarapicasso or the c3 picasso,the car was bought froma main dealer (my first purchase from a main dealer inabout 10 years, and tbh I wasn't that impressed, maybe I was expecting too much
). It's little things that an independent dealership would've donesprings to mind, e.g the car was G3'd,at only £150 If it's half as good as all the blurb suggests then it's money well spent, however yes the car looks great but you'd have thought the dealership would've covered/removed any light scratchingprior to applying the glasscoat ??. It is ablack car so sadly scratches do show up more.
Other things (like not realising until highlighted), that the tax had ran out 6 weeks ago etc highlight the difference between the types of dealer, and I thought Cared4 took into account the car's history etc
.
As for the car, I got it atwhat I thinkwas a good price andas you all know the car's a littlecracker, running on 15" alloys it goes and handles well, time will tell if it's as reliable as my old car (aHonda Civic), but reading several reviews the Note looks like a sound buy.
I do have a couple of questions, if that's alright:
Would i be right in thinking that allmain dealers appear to be the same (applying a protective coatover scratches etc), I'm not singling out Nissan dealers particulary, but main dealer's generally (having read other reviews of g3 applications for other makes), it would appear common sense/pride seems to be somewhat lacking ?).
Literature about the G3was as sparse as the truth from a politician, I am aware that trying to t-cut scratches out is a big no, no,that polishingwould appear to be a waste of time/not recommended and that washing with a mild shampoo is the only way of keeping the car clean, does anyone have any suggestions please regarding the best car shampoo to use and I'd liketo know if anybody has used a chip stick (crayon type etc), on a g3 treated car and how it turned out ?.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
