Nissan Pao JDM Car
1990 Nissan Other
TheNissan Paois aretro-styled three-doorhatchbackmanufactured byNissanfor model years 1989-1991, and originally marketed solely in Japan at theirNissan Cherry Stores.
First announced at theTokyo Motor Showin October 1987, the Pao was available with or without a textilesun roof, only available in 4 colors,and was originally sold by reservation only from January 15 through April 14, 1989. Orders were delivered on a first come-first served basis, with the production run of 51,657 selling out in only 3 months!
Because of its origins at Pike Factory, Nissan's special project group, the Pao — along with theNissan Figaro,Be-1andS-Cargo— are known as Nissan's "Pike cars."
In 2011, noted design critic Phil Patton, writing for the New York Times, called the Pike cars "the height ofpostmodernism"[3]and "unabashedly retro, promiscuously combining elements of theCitroën 2CV,Renault 4, Mini [and]Fiat 500.
This 1990 Nissan Pao is great fun to drive. It was obviously loved by its prior owners. Overall in excellent condition. Want to get attention at Cars & Coffee? Buy this car. Park it next to a Ferrari and see who gets more attention. Drive down the road and people will take pictures of you. Make friends at the gas station. What I'm trying to say is that just about everyone loves this car and wants to know more about it. Ac works great, the power door locks from the remote work great, the stereo works but is set to Japanese frequencies, the only thing I am not sure of is the cassette player as I don't have any cassettes to test it with. Not needed for a few years, but I will include a new water pump, timing belt, PAO book and some other items.
New tires and wheels. Full disclosure, the front tires do rub a little on hard corners and big bumps. If this bothers youswap in the extra set of wheels that are included. They don't rub at all andare in nice condition, but definitely not as nice as the new ones on there now.
Not pictured, but included is a Japanese language Navigation unit that is mounted on the dash board. It is of no use in the US but a cool touch when you take it to car shows. Can be easily removed if you don't like it.
A non-refundable $500 deposit is due immediately and full payment is due within 7 days. I can store the car for a reasonable amount of time (discuss with me in advance) if the car is paid for in full. I can also assist your shipper in loading the car if you make arrangements to have it shipped.
Payment to be made (regardless of what is listed in the payment options section of the auction) by cash in person, cashiers check from national bank (ie one I can find locally and cash the check at in person), or by bank wire.
I realize that with it being the holidays it may be difficult to get a shipper to pick up the car until the new year. If you do need to ship the car don't worry I can store it for a reasonable amount of time (must be discussed prior to bidding) as long as the car is paid in full.
PLEASE NOTE: the vin listed is not the correct VIN. Ebay, in their infinite wisdom, requires a vin to list a car, but won't accept the Japanese vin so I used one from another vehicle.
