Hi all - nice to meet you. Been looking for a new car, and have settled on a Qashqai+2, picking it up tomorrow. Its £2,600, after part ex, and 111k miles. Just wondered if there was anything particular I should look out for before handing cash over? I've read about the fob, making sure it unlocks all 4 doors plus boot, but anything else?

 

Look forward to being a member

Hi, welcome to the Club

Just general inspection of anything you think needs checking but see if the wiper mechanism clunks when in operation as the joints wear on them
Otherwise, look at service history and how clean oil is, etc

Hi Trevor, thanks for this. Ended up buying the car yesterday, 2.0L Qashqai+2 Acenta. Drives real smooth, lovely and quiet, decent power, overall, very happy with it. One thing my wife has ordered is a new gear know as the other has worn - are these easy to replace? Gear knobs of old simply screwed off, but this has the lift handle for reverse, and I'm wondering how much trouble this may cause?

I believe it is a case of lifting it up from the shift lever but watch your face as it flies up .... been there and it hurt 🙂
