Why are used Nissans very cheap? [MERGED]

[empy]

may clause kasi yung nissan motors sa contract eh...bawal daw bumili ng nissan ang mga pangit.

tignan nyo, i've never owned a nissan in my entire life

[zechs]

hmm..now that explains why my friend owns a nissan...hahaha joke! :bwahaha:

[v22]

a service advisor friend of mine, from NISSAN, thinks lowly of their products compared to the other brands... except for the models that came out of NISSAN DIESEL.. and the Xtrail model...


daw...

[theveed]

IMO Most 1.6L cars here are waay overpriced and not devalued enough...

When I came back to Pinas around 98, I wanted a GTi, Altima as my first choice, then kung wala talaga, ESi or GLi... Back then, the GTi and Altima were playing in the 300K zone. We got the GLi (most ESi I saw had really bad interior (the seats wear out really fast) and there's rust underneath the doors) at around 240 at that time.

Take a look at buy and sell ads now, they still hover at the same price range after 7 years!!! While I got my Altima last week at 155K only (they play around the 170-210 range) while GTi's are about the same range. The "rayban" Galants drops to 250K range even with the V6.

Fuel economy plays a big role in pricing here, so does the availability of cheap, replacement (often unreliable) parts.

While I agree that my AE101 was a great car for its purpose, it surely shouldn't be worth that much today.

Oh, dagdag lang...

A32 Cefiro... Price drop galore, god knows how nice that car is... It's a steal to buy a good condition Cefiro these days. I wanted one, but my budget is 150K short heheheh

[BlueBimmer]

A32 cefiro sarap nyan, sarap daily driver like mine! if u dont mind the fuel consumption that is..hehe

[Karding]

AFAIK sa states, kaya madali mag depreciate ang value ng Nissan (with z's exception) dahil ambilis nila mag remodel, every two years.

[theveed]

an A32 gives you around 7kpl so it aint that bad actually...

[vinj]

We had an a/t A32 Cefiro: mileage consumption at 6.0-7.0km/l sa city... highway driving 9-10km/l at the average (basta walang hatawan). The manual would average 7-8 sa city according to some friends of mine.

We also had a 320i at the same time and it also gave similar fuel consumption as the Cefiro.

exactly same here!

[impulzz]

had a b12 sentra diesel before... grabe sakit ng ulo inabut ko dun... aircon, electrical, suspension, rust, pawis steering... at 1.5 years sumabog head gasket at sa batangas pa ako inabot... towed it back to manila then overhaul na agad sa nissan...tapos after 3 months injectors naman nag loko. and the electrical and suspension problems never get fixed... electrical every month may aayusin... sa suspension 3 months may tama ulit..kahit orig parts ilagay mo... after 3 yeras of driving it... it started belching black smoke... pinatingnan ko ulit sa nissan... overhaul nanaman daw ulit... sold the car na lang... the only good thing with that sentra diesel is dun ako natuto mag kalikot nag oto

[BlueBimmer]

hehe now yan ang di worth it..

[ian_rex]

siguro mga sirs, kay mababa ang resale value is that, nissan is prone to reliability issues. as said, madaling masira, mahal pa ang parts, malakas sa gasolina.

no pun intended.

[theveed]

ian_rex: yun nga yung point, those perception about "prone to reliability issues" only applied to those old Nissans pre-90's when it was mishandled by a taiwanese company.

[ILuvDetailing]

IMO, ok na yung current batch ng Nissan ngayon -> Patrol, Sentra, X-trail, Frontier.

[gwapito69]

yung kapatid ko may 89 240 with 180000 miles pero ok pa rin sya walang pa ring major sira... siguro depende lang sa gumagamit ng kotse. pero totoo yun mahal ang parts ng nissan.

my 93 240 broke down at 155,000 which was 2 weeks ago. Ayun, I donated the car.

[ILuvDetailing]

woah 180K miles. If my Nissan even reaches half that I'd be very happy.

[gwapito69]

you should have just donated it to me... pwede namin chop chopin yan for my bros car. tsaka baka naman ginagamit mo yung 240 mo for drifting kaya ganun

nyeh! daily driver lang yon kapatid, bulok na. Wala akong pera pang rebuilt. Pero malay mo, may mahanap akong 98 SE. May nakita ako 98 SE Pearl White $6,995.00 and mileage ewan ko.
