Good luck with your hunt,
The Super S are very rare, and finding someone who is willing to separate with theirs for less than $3k I think would be even rarer |

Super s is a massive step up from slx Lx haha
And $3k is pretty cheap if you can find one, could always ask some old man that's driving around in one that's not off here and knows nothing about them |

That car for that price with the extra mods is pretty good.
The dizzy has been replaced and that's something that tends to go as these cars get a bit older. It needs a little bit of work but a lot of it you could do yourself and get help from this site. Many many threads and article on repairs and diagnosis. Look for: Any gearbox whines or crunches. Any variations when at idle could mean the throttle body is in need of a touch up. Any hesitation under accelration any oil/fluid on the join between the engine and gearbox (it will mean you need to get the rear main seal replaced...) also read this: http://www.micra.com.au/technical-articles/nissan-micra-common-faults.php and this http://www.micra.com.au/technical-articles/buyer-beware.php |

Go for the series 2 if possible. Forget the super s they are not worth it. |

ABS has saved my ass on numerous occasions ;)" Rarer car = yes probably because when new they cos an arm and a leg more than the base model with minimal if any better equipment than the base model or similar model from other company, hence noone buys them. Thats why they stop selling micra in Australia. ABS = u really think on a car that weight 800kg with barely enough juice to spin the wheels would required abs? "ABS has saved my ass on numerous occasions" need to do more defensive diving lesson. |

Therefore nissan australia only sold 300ish car. So coming back to 2011, out of the 300ish car sold only a handful are left hence its become a rare car due to not many around. Everyone have there own opinion to what they like just that to me i feel that paying twice as much or even more on a super s compared to the base model with barely anything anything difference just doesnt justify it. |

" i dunno about oz but that sounds like hazard perception, every driver should be able to do this, its a minimal requirement of actually being able to drive, however, its not the point in question on the thread |
