A few questions regarding Nissan Patrol '02

**Keito** · February 25th, 2005 07:38 PM

Good evening fellow Tsikot members.

A family friend is selling us her friend's Nissan Patrol '02 for 1.35 M. The SUV's paint is smooth (black), w/ no history of repairs and accidents, diesel, 4x4, AT and w/ 30,000 km mileage.

1. Is this a good buy?
2. When was this model launched? Is there a possibility of it being replaced anytime soon?
3. What should we look out for if ever we decide to get this one?
4. How's its ride quality compared to a Pajero (Gen 2.5) and Trooper?

Thank you and more power!

Btw, this is my first post.

looks like a good catch 4wd na 1.35, try mo to lower it down to 1.2.

That's a relatively good price. We just sold our 2002 Patrol 4x2 (A/T) 2 months ago for P1.7m. It only had 7,000km on the odo.

A very good price indeed.. Ok na yun 4x4 pa!.. sali ka sa Nissan Patrol Club.. Gagamitin mo ba sa trail?

family friend..so parang kilala mo,right?

so you know the condition of the patrol..and maybe how he took care of it.
30K lang sa odo is ok..travels alot(assuming 15K a year)

try mo tawaran pa...look a good buy,that is if you trust your friend na di ka lolokohin..anu posible reasons for his sale...owner leaving/gusto lang palitan?

anywayz,kung alam mo halos history ng sasakyan,go ahead...

compare sa paj and trooper...iba ang dating kapag naka-patrol ka....parang next thing to land cruiser...

ako kung alam ko ok at kaibigang ko,at may pera, di ko na pakakawalan yan...

The new model is already out internationally. But don't worry, Patrols just evolve and they don't change drastically from one day to the next.

The current Patrol is still a good buy.

I have driven odell's Patrol. It rides way better than my Pajero. But the latest Pajero rides better. Though the Patrol will easily have a GEN III Pajero for lunch on the trail.

Thanks for the inputs.

We'll check if the price is still negotiable. We don't have a solid reference price since only a few Nissan Patrol owners are selling theirs based on Buy and Sell.

Thanks for the invite. I'll join your club if ever. However, I don't think I'll go off-roading anytime soon.

AFAIK, the owner will be purchasing a new SUV soon.

More inputs please.

Thank you!

Okay na okay un!

2002 model tapos 30,000kms on the meter lang..solb na un.

Tawaran mo na lang sa P1.2M para mas masaya!

4x4 pa ha..? Sabak na sa trail yan!

kahit hindi mo na tawaran ok na yang price! sigurado ka bang 4x4 yan? check mo lang kung dalawa ang kambyo.

mine is a 2001 4x2 patrol m/t, just recently converted to 4x4. and up to now, with 110,000kms on the odo, wala pang sira sa ilalim, or any other major part. yung MAF sensor lang yung nasira, which was my fault since i installed FinerFilter for my air filter. oil type kasi kaya napupunta sa MAF yung oils kaya nasira.

Go for it na!
