Tasked with finding a car for a relative

[Jameshow]

Been told today to step up the looking as the car needs sorting before the other things that need sorting so whoopie

Should have brought that doh!!

I had an old TVR many moons ago it was truly wicked when it ran reliably

I earmarked two jukes to enquire about last night and both have been sold within 24 hours

Might have found a Quashqai for sale locally just waiting to hear back from the trader . If available will try and organise a viewing.
Strange thing is a lot of the smaller garages are closed over the weekends which I would have thought was the best time to be open. I understand people are allowed days off.

Ask them if they will accept a refundable deposit to hold the car for you.

What about a Suzuki sx4 or a Vauxhall Mokka? They are a bit like the Juke.

The Juke isn't particularly big inside. Bit of a waste TBH.

I followed behind a car transporter with 6 Jukes on board yesterday, on their way to the Docks from the Nissan Factory.

On a hopefully, more helpful note, Juke and Quashqai are quite popular Motability cars, any chance that you have an acquaintance has such a Motability car and could do a deal with you at end of lease period?, if such a recent car is within the budget of course.

Couldn't agree more

Looked at a Mokka and it didn't pass the style required same as the Suzuki

Managed to get a quick view this afternoon and it's not that clean and tidy as I hoped.

There's a local garage that do get a lot of ex mobility cars in but nothing at the moment or in upcoming auctions.

Just spotted two on autotrader that fit the bill apart from being diesels, so need to have that conversation as previously diesel's were an absolute no no

We certainly have

Not a great time to be buying used. I'd be tempted to tell said relative their requirements are too limited and they may have to revise their expectations downwards. Model, budget, timescale: pick one to compromise on!

There are 1130 used Jukes on Nissan's approved used car list right now. Surely there's one that meets the brief? Damn I should have googled that incognito, this is a work laptop!

They're looking for a Juke or Qashqai. Style isn't on the options list!

Tried that approach and shown a few variations but they all get the thumbs down.
Personally I would not have a Juke as rear seat space is limited and very claustrophobic, Quashqai is better

What about a mini countryman??
