1989 NISSAN PAO NO RESERVE
1989 Nissan PAO Description
Soooo, whats a Nissan Pao you ask?
Glad you asked. The Pao is a limited production Japanese market only car. Produced between 1989-1991, there were a total of 51,000 produced. (about the same number of Honda civics that are produced in a week...LOL). They were never imported to the US, but thanks to the 25 year import rule, we can get them now.This is why the VIN is all zeros, as JDM cars do not use the VIN format that we use here in the states.
The Pao was originally offered on a lottery basis in Japan, and the entire run sold out in 3 months. The basis for the car was the Nissan Micra.
This car is equipped with a 1 liter 4 cylinder engine and automatic transmission. It was cold AC(how many 1989's can say that?). It has a power folding sunroof, which works. Even the cool factory radio works. I have taken this car to numerous car cruises this year and it ALWAYS draws a bigger crowd than the muscle cars. When i drive it, i get thumbs up at lights. If you do not like attention, do not buy this car.This car gets more attention and smiles than cars costing 5 times as much. Plus it's a great driver, gets mileage in the high 30's, and drives great.
When i bought it, i went through the whole car with the help of a local mechanic. The following was replaced after i got it:
Timing belt
Tensioner
water pump
thermostat
coolant flush and fill
Mobil one oil change
fuel filer
air filter
spark plugs
cap
rotor
All 4 motor and transmission mounts
windshield washer pump
Speakers
4 Brand new tires
Everything works in this car. No excuses. Is it perfect? hardly, if it was then it would be a $12K car. It's a nice driver quality that you can take to any local show/cruise and attract a crowd. You could just as easily drive it every day. If you do not think the price is fair, then go ahead and import one from Japan yourself. Of course, you wont know what work it requires until you get the car landed here. Mine has been all sorted. I have over $9K in this car. The odometer is in Kilometers. The car has 77K miles on it. . I have a clean PA antique title on it. It does not need anything that i know of, just turn the key and drive.
