The Nissan Micra and Suzuki Minivan

Hi,
Last weekend I saw at SM Sta. Rosa (Laguna) this car on display. It was a Nissan Micra, 4 door AT, 1.0 liter engine. The amazing thing is the price, the sticker on the windshield say it is P 170,000 only! Does anyone here already have any experience with the car or detailed specs? Searched Tsikot and Google and can't find anything specific for the Philippines.

I also saw a Suzuki Minivan for the same price of P 170,000.

These are good prospects for those looking for small, low fuel consumption vehicles. Thanks.

Sorry, in the excitement I made a mistake with the name, it was labelled Nissan March and not the Micra.

does it look like this?

The headlights are different, the ones I saw are just plain rounded. The body may be similar, the curves look the same.

It's the Nissan March/Micra... same thing.

It's not a brand new unit. Those are refurbished units being sold by a secondhand dealer. (Like what Norkis does with the March/Micra, only at a cheaper price). I should know, they refurbish those things at a garage behind my house.

If it comes with a warranty, and if they've refurbished the engine to good condition (in other words, it should purr like a kitten when they start it), it should be okay, but otherwise, you might be better off buying a secondhand Micra and doing the repairs yourself.

I don't like their colors... metallic green (darker than "Goblin green") and purple... but the cars are interesting.

I saw it in SM Sta. Rosa last weekend, it was an exhibit held by an entity called "Hilton Motors". I think Niky may be right, didn't bother to ask details such as the warranty though. The car itself and the price just got me curiIous...

The one in the UK site is not the same, looks like it's the latest model. The one in the exhibit maybe an older model.

That's not the minivan I saw, the one in the exhibit is the same as Super Carry.
