2012 Renault Espace 2.0dci / AT
With 7 seats on a long body
Please contact me in English, I don't speak Estonian or Russian.
Top-of-the-line Initiale Paris equipment level with all possible extras + Eberspächer App Controlled Engine Preheating
I have been using this car for almost 3 years +55000 kilometers. Now it is time to sell as I do not need such a big car anymore and already leased a new car.
The car is in daily use, starts, drives, shifts, and stops without any problems but has cosmetic defects and needs some investment (See below). All lights, windows, and glasses are intact and working fine.
Pros:
- Very reliable engine 2.0dci (Nissan-Renault M9R), having 127kw power and combined with a very reliable/efficient 6-speed proactive automatic transmission from JATCO (AJ0). Best diesel/AT combination in its era. Both can drive 500.000kms without any problems. They never let me down so far.
- App-controlled and programmable engine preheating makes this durable engine with cast iron block quickly to optimum operating temperature ensuring comfort and less engine wear in Estonian climate. Everybody knows diesel cars without preheating are not good for this climate.
- 7 full-size seats, all 5 seats on the second/third row have Isofix and they can be completely removed from the car, providing 3000 liters of cargo space. Currently two back seats are removed from the car and being stored in my storage.
- DVD player with 2 screens and 2 wireless headphones makes it fun for the family, lots of space and light in back seats thanks to half opening full-sized panoramic roof
- 70mai front and rear DVR camera, automatic digital parking clock, and 3x 12v lighter socket come with the car. Tomtom Carminat built-in navigation still works and receives updates. I ordered a 2022 map before my last European trip, you can order 2024 map card from allegro.pl.
- Keyless entry and electrically adjusted seats, driver's seat has memory paired with key cards.
- Maintained on time and had big maintenance last year on HMK Auto, new steering rack, new springs, turbo cooler, and lots of worn-out undercarriage parts replaced. Basically whatever needs to be done.
- Towing hitch and built-in sliding roof bars on which you can mount any roof box, bike rack, or ski carrier.
- 90 liters fuel tank, combined with this economical but powerful engine. I can easily average 6L/100km with a fully loaded car on the highway which provides a 1400+ km range with one tank. I have driven this car 2 times to Turkey/Antalya, 2 times to south/west Europe. Forget about re-fueling and just drive.
- Climate control, Electrically opening panoramic roof, folding mirrors, headlight washers, speed limiter and holder, rear parking sensors, dvd screens are working fine.
- Accident-free except for some minor parking lot scratches.
- Brand new all season tires installed on 13.06.2024
Cons:
- Currently, an ABS/ESP warning is flashing. The car brakes okay but needs attention. A quick search on Google reveals that this car has a chronic ABS pump failure after 10 years, which needs replacement or overhaul. I am trying to get it fixed, but the cost will be added to the price once it is fixed.
- Many minor cosmetic defects on the body and some parts of the interior. The car has an aluminium body but there is still a bit of rust on the left rear wheel arch. Side wall of drivers seat has a tear.
- Seat heaters sometimes work, sometimes don't. The rear window defrost is the same.
- There is a spare tire but the carrier under the car is rusted and stuck due to moisture and rust. I had the rusted part cut out and released the spare tire, carrying it in the trunk if needed.
- The cover for trunk is missing. It was missing when the car was imported from Sweden by the previous owner.
