The new model is in dealerships now (I know, I was in the showroom yesterday picking up my new car). I think the photo shows the new model, but I would assume this deal is the outgoing model. IIRC Visia is the entry level trim on Nissan models. Good price though for a car with plenty of space and excellent ride.

A great deal for a brand new Qashqai but a quick check on Auto Trader threw up the same car used as a 16-reg with 6k on the clock for £12.8k and a 65-reg with 7.6k on the clock for £12.3k. I always used to buy brand new cars with a decent discount but I've now changed my mind and buy low mileage cars with an even bigger discount.
My lad insisted on getting a nearly new Qashqai because they were popular with his mates. He really likes it but I have noticed he's now getting caught out by annoying faults (a/c isn't working on the passenger side) which aren't now covered by warranty. Had he had his time over, he might have listened to his Dad's advice to go for one of the more obscure SUVs which have lower prices and longer warranties. Again on Auto Trader, I quickly found a 66-reg MG GS Excite TGI with 6.8k on the clock for £12.5k or a 66-reg Ssangyong Tivoli SE with 10.5k on the clock for £10k, both of which come with the balance of 5 year manufacturer's warranties (vs the 3 year one for the Qashqai).
Voted hot on the deal but personally think nearly new for less is the way forward...

I would certainty add the ASX to the left field choice too. The top spec with the 6 speed auto and the 2.2 diesel is a stunning nearly new purchase!

I suppose in theory your points are valid but majority of people don't have the 12k plus to buy off auto trader, or are you meaning that the deals you saw are from a dealer on auto trader ?

The deals I found were on AutoTrader.co.uk. Agree that not everyone has £12k in readies but a lot of the cars on Autotrader are sold by dealers who can do finance.
My own experience of buying cars off Autotrader is that dealers are amenable to giving you an additional discount (especially for a decisive, quick cash sale) but private sellers (possibly because they ask for less in the first place) want the posted selling price and won't budge.

Indeed, also private sellers on Autotrader (like many dealers) tend to see their vehicle as being worth more than it really is.......

I bought a year old 1.4 Turbo vauxhall astra for £8000 with 5000 miles on the clock. Absolute bargain imo and webuyanycar still offering more than I paid to trade it in. Should see me fit for 10 years I hope.

What is a good way to ensure the pre owned cars that you get via auto traders are in good conditions and there aren't hidden costs staring back at you pretty soon by way of faulty parts, not disclosed things etc? I am debating whether to buy this one or look at auto trader for low mileage cars.

At the end of the day, whether you buy new or used, the thing you must have is a manufacturers warranty. That's your best protection in the event of problems. Whenever I've bought cars off Auto Trader (both private & dealer sales), I've always bought cars which have around two years left to run on the manufacturer's warranty. If you buy cars outside of their warranty, or maybe only have six months to run, you will pay even less but your potential risk will correspondingly increase.

Thanks a lot - is there a filter to apply on autotrader such that I see cars with manufacturer warranty left on them only? I have never bought off there so the question....
Joe90_guy to matwalaboy

No, there is no filter but if you look around you will quickly realise manufacturers crudely split into three groups; ones with three year warranties (like Nissan & Suzuki), ones with five year warranties (like Ssangyong, Hyundai, Toyota, etc) and one (Kia) with seven years cover. Once you know what the manufacturers offer, you can quickly work out from the reg of the car, how much warranty is left to run.

Qashqai's are good cars, even if there is a new model, which is more of an update then a totally new car, if the price is right and you want to get 5 years good years family use out of the car then it should be a good buy.
This Nissan is built for families, they are reliable, good quality cars that drive well. Theres no reason this would not turn in a solid 5 years of family work.
Buying the out going models always leave you stuffed if you pay full or close to full OTR price and want to trade or sell it for a newer car in a 12 -24 months time.
