I wonder what advice you can give about Nissan Tiida Latio Sedan 2007,
This is a Japanese Import which I have put a deposit on, subject to mechanical inspection. Mileage is around 60k,s I have a slight concern as the engine noise seemed generally a little noisy. (This may be after my Nissan Sylphy which was extremely quiet.)
outside and inside condition is quite good,
I have just had my recent purchase ( 7 weeks ago) of a Nissan Bluebird Sylphy written off after being hit in the rear a week ago.

As you say, the Bluebird Sylphy is a quiet and well insulated car, so you will notice that the Tiida may be noisier. However, it is wise to have a pre-purchase inspection for many reasons. The inspector will report on any defects with the vehicle, and if the engine noise is anything abnormal, that will be pointed out to you.
