WHY nissan cefiro WHY????

nissan resales are low because of what happened to their cars in the late 80's and early 90's. Their Stanza's and california's where practically falling apart. a Friend of mine had a stanza that kept having problems weekly. this gave nissan a bad rep that still haunts it till this day. that friend of mine still wouldn't buy a brand new nissan even if the quality of nissan has gone way way better.

the problem with new nissan cars today... especially the current sentra is the bland styling.

Maintenance? The nearby gas station does that. hehehe. Just have to buy the filter from the dealer (~Php500.00). Luma din kasi MB namin (range '77-'87) so shadetree mechanic at DIY na din ang maintenance.

Parts are available from the dealer, online (may sticky sa www.volvospeed.com kung saan ok umorder ng parts). Locally, HABREC is the third-party part supplier and service provider for Volvos and other Euro sedans.

850 over Cefiro? Iba pa din kasi ang charm ng Euro sedan. Iba yung character at personality. Prolly 850 pa din since I have a Japanese daily driver already.

tingin ko hindi lang naman nissan cefiro nag-suffer ng ganyan, pati accord din. kung nun bnew, around 300k-400k pagitan ng civic & accord, pag 2nd hand na less than 100k na lang difference.

imho, it's not wise to buy bigger cars today. kung compact car ka, next upgrade should be compact SUV. sad to say yan ang mentality ng publiko.

Very unlikely since the owner of NMPI is Yulon, making way for the Taiwan spec and parts.

The JDM market version specs of the 1990s were much better then the 2000 and up Taiwan-spec versions in quality.

The cost of the 2.0 sedans like the old Accord and Cefiro cost ajust as much or even lower then the 1.6 sedans of the same year and fuel prices have a big factor to this.

1 liter of gasoline covers how much kilometers in your cefiro? (normal driving)
