1986 Nissan Hardbody Pickup SE review from North America
"This is an extremely reliable and dependable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced the starter once at 115000 miles. I had to replace the thermostat at 120000miles because the engine has been running cold. At 132000 miles, the AIV filter and canister were completely rusted out. The whole assembly has been replaced.
General comments?
This is my first car and the most reliable car I have ever owned. This says a lot because I also own a Lexus.
After every tune-up, this car runs like it's new.
