- In this video we take a look at a very cheap Dacia Sandero I purchased from Aston Barclay Car Auctions for £1000 + Fees
Lets take a quick look around the dacia to see what it needs and if the numbers could stack up on this one for a potential profit 🤔

These are on my hit list when I need to replace my current Panda (not yet though) because they're basic, well tried engineering, not much to go wrong and decent little cars with the 1.2 or 1.5 Diesel, not a fan of 0.9TCE. James May was right about these and this looks a good one for the money.
My Cat N Sandero is still going strong on the 0.9 TCE at 110k miles! Great engine IMO, don't knock it til you've tried it.
Still my 13 plate diesel Duster - did nearly 400 miles today going on holiday and still have 206 miles of range left - went over 84k today - its a Laureate so it was chilled in that still functioning aircon. Loving it.
I like the sheer unpretentiousness of these
To be honest these cars do look like a good workhorse and ideal as a runabout. Love your videos mate.
I do like Dacias very much, mainly because they are honest, unpretentious, value for money vehicles.
The perfect choice for budget conscious motorists.
Great video Lee❤.
I had 2 stepway diesels and I couldn’t fault them. The only reason I sold the last one was I needed an automatic at the time they didn’t do one
i had a Sandero 1.2 for 6 years, it was an excellent workhorse, but always check the scuttle drains under the bonnet, they get bunged up with dirt, leaves etc. If they clog up, then water stays in the scuttle and will eventually leak into the passenger side footwell and soak the carpets. Just poke yout finger through the rubber drain valve on the right hand of the scuttle every couple of months and allow any water to drain out.
Will do, always great to hear experience from owners who have had cars for a number of years. I remember the clios suffered with the same issue in the scuttle and needed draining. thanks for watching robert
@@carukchannel The scuttle has 2 valve drain holes, with the bonnet up and facing the engine / scuttle , the right hand valve is easy to reach and is below the scuttle, the left hand drain is obscured by the battery and requires removal of the battery to access it. But keeping the right hand drain clear and empty of water should prevent any issues. This is a very common issue with the Sandero. If you have a wet carpet then this will be the cause.
lee, if your doing some paint, you might as well get a dent man to sort those little dents, will look mint then
Great knowledge mate 👌
A great practical video of faults to look out for - love it Lee, well done :)
Thanks 👍
I'm quite a fan of the Dacia ethos providing BS-free reliable motoring. very much a 'peoples car'
I had one of these as a courtesy car when I took my Renault Captur in for some warranty work, I was surprised with it, it drove ok for what it was, they’re ok if you’re on a budget!
Hi Lee,nice little cheap and practical cars these sandero. The loggy is also a very practical car offering a very ample interrior including a large boot space.
Good News!!!
Tend to be pretty reliable, had a rogue ECU issue before once regarding false cat and emissions readings.
Hi Lee,looks like a really good find and its in good condition that front wipers look a little small
I liked my Duster, a worthy and practical car that was good value for money.
Well with 100k miles and 10 years old, that is still a tidy clean car. In the 80’s it would have rusted away by now 😂
Had a mate of mine who used to drive DAILY from Ayrshire across to Edinburgh in one of these.
Mileage on it was off the planet. Covered something like 150 a day.
They aren't the most comfortable for 150 a day drive
was it a diesel or petrol
I live in Spain for quite a few years. Originally the working class Spanish were running round in seat and fiat bangers. Over the years they started getting Audis and BMWs, then seemed to defect to hyundai / kia but very common now and dealerships alongside renault🤷🏻♂️. There are many many of these. They are to me the new berlingo/2cv/ fiat panda. It’s what people like me want utalitarian cheap workhorses.i have a 17 yr old mk1 berlingo 17 yrs old 1.6 petrol no rust top or bottom, runs like a top. Great cars. Had a hire car 1.5diesel and I was very impressed for its function
Those old basic French cars will go forever if you live somewhere dry where they don't rust.
Hi Lee. Let's see the Jaguar, Lee. 😅😅. The Dacia are great little cars. You stole this one, bruv. Great year, and colour. Keep it up Lee. 👋 🙏🇨🇮
I had a 2017 as a work car for the security firm i was with 2yrs ago it had 138k and the only thing that it did occasionally was the dashboard lights flashed but was traded in for a electric car god what a pain having to make time to get it charged lol
Not sponsored by vehicle score??
Looks smart ( Design remains sharp )... coming off the transporter
My partner has a Sandero had it for around 6 years and it still goes fine apart from a yearly service and mot it has only needed front discs and pads couple of tyres and a headlight bulb. Not much on them to go wrong but what’s there still works fine.
This will make a cracking car for someone 👍🏾
I think the spec of that one is Ambiance , I might be wrong.
They are built from the Renault parts bin the old 1.5dci is a good reliable motor.
Looks like a great choice Lee. When would you suggest the cam belt and water pump should be changed on these.
5/6 years no more than 70k, thanks for watching ian
Indicator stalk switch failure common headlights horn don’t behave- quick and cheap fix. Yep wiper seizure- one of spindles passes through alloy housing catch it to free off and lube Had 62 plate laure b ate Tce 90 from ex demo, no real issues, occasional judder when pulling away from cold- 3cylinder balance just off stall? Don’t try to be smooth more gas and dump it helps. Seems overgeared for round town likes to be reved. Acquired 63 plate base access model 5 years ago for £2k. Again no issues apart from indicator stalk great for trundling round town in high gear great adequate transport serving as mobile shed for work
Lee, I did notice a parcel shelf rope missing bud
Well spotted, I will fix it 😁
@@carukchannel cool, will look a lovely car once done
Always had cheap cars but recently purchased something modern with lots of gadgets and guess what, I actually wish I had bought something basic and cheap.
Interested to know what the issues are with the 0.9 TCE engine? Nissan engineered with that gorgeous Renault whine from a cold start with a chain driven cam so I bought a 0.9 Captur for my daughter and I don't want it coming back to me to fix!
I picked one of these up for my son as his first car, low tax & insurance and 50+ mpg, gave £2.5k for it 12months ago and the intention is to get rid in another year or so once he’s built up a bit of NCB, I reckon we’ll get £2k back for it which to me is no brain motoring.
Looking forward to the xf video I've been after one for years but the reliability stories are off-putting.
Lee. You have a private plate potential there. Especially in Wales!
I'm not seeing it, give me a clue?
@@mjcamp01 I think she's referring to 'Dai'.
They're like a veneer, pearly on the outside and rotten underneath. (I mean I hope this one isn't but... check under the door seals just in case 😅)
Travelled in an old Dacia airport taxi whilst on business in Romania a few yrs ago, thing was falling apart , maybe the newer ones have better build quality I don’t know.
What’s the details on the Focus you mentioned Lee? Will that be popping up soon?
I have traded it on sorry, to many miles to retail
Renault Clio in drag it is , no idea why they so cheap
Reason is old well proven technology from 90s clio.😊
what do you think of the 1.6cdti diesel civics?
The petrols are a safer bet.
seem ok to be fair, have heard of some cylinder head issues but its rare. I would buy one
@@Stoff1 i used to by all my trade cars from a Honda dealer, the diesels used to drink oil 1 lt per 1000 miles and they said this was acceptable.my advice is avoid them.
The old civic had the 1686cc isuzu motor same as astra and was very good. 😊
BAG SAND, in white , what's not to not like ' James May '.... Only had the Stepway version. 0.9 TCE a bad idea. Was F'd. Prob needed a 1.5 Dci. ( 0.9 TCE and 1.0T Ecobooms both Award winning engines back on launch +3 odd years ! GOTTA LAUGH )..; Oh now got a F'd Puretech 1.2 Wetbelt , thought was buying a 1.4/1.6 DS3, didnt look ( 1.2 P/T ).... We live in a world of F'd modern small capacity engines. 1.0 1.2 1.4 TSi's.... I could go on
1000pounds Kwik profits 😮
You aren't keen on the 1.0 litre, 3 cylinder [turbo] engines? You won't be that last 🤣
Love the vids Lee, but please can you pronounce them “datcha”. Thanks! 😂
Not sure my dyslexia could manage it 🤣👍
I had a dacia duster in 1988 or 1989. It was a C reg, about "85 or "86. Nothing but trouble then. I've never heard of them in years til past few years. Was pronounced DACIA then. What has changes over past 35/40 years?.
I owned a Sandero with lowish miles (61k) and it was the worst car ive ever owned. Had so many issues with it and it cost me £1500ish in a year to keep it on the road. I traded it in and it was the best thing i ever done! i really hate these cars!
Nice but mate
Dacia sandero is basically a Renault clio..
0:19 Day-cia or Datch-a? If you go into a dealer I think they use the latter!
Why were they called Dacia (pronounced as it sounds) in the 1980's
This is how Dacia UK pronounce it czcams.com/video/6jG-6HP0NpM/video.html
A fridge on wheels, they might be cheap but they certainly aren't cheerful in my opinion. Uncomfortable and basic and not cheap anymore you are talking 13k for one in 2024. You can buy. a 1 year old Polo, Focus, for less than that.
Sir buying price ok. Sell price text screen Total profit screen show
First lesson in Romanian pronunciation: the 'i' following the 'c' makes it a hard c (ch), the opposite of English.
Very cheap car
Thanks for watching simon 👍
Its worth 500 quid 🤣
🤣👍
