Nissan X-trail – need to know

How much? £500-£6000

Early cars are 16 years old now and prices reflect that; you can pick such examples up from just £500, although whether you’d want to is another story. Up the budget to £2500 and you’ll have a large selection to choose from, and they won’t look like the first owner was the UN; they’ll be in fairly good condition but will still have hefty mileages. The top money is around £5800, for which you’ll get a car in decent nick with sub-100k miles. Look for full service history.
