1992 Nissan Stanza SE review from North America
"Very good family car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only two things: I had to replace a rear shock at 180 000km. I also had a problem with the fuel pump: some corrosion on the electrical contacts caused short-circuits (blown fuses). But since the fuel pump is very easy to access on this car, it was a snap to repair.
General comments?
By far the best car I have ever had. At 235 000 km, it still doesn't burn a drop of oil between changes.
All accessories, including air conditioning, are still working.
I paid 7000$ CAN in 1996, and I'm sure I still could get at least 2000$ CAN for it. But it's not for sale: it still rides so well, I paid 1100$ CAN last summer for a new paint job.
I'm confident this car will go beyond 300 000 km easy.
