Description
1988 Nissan Pao
Limited Edition Japanese Domestic Market Car
127,000 original kilometers = 79,000 original miles
Very original example with accessories
Up for auction is a car you don't often see in the United States. In the mid 1980's Nissan celebrated opening it's new "Pike" factory by making and selling 4 different limited edition retro cars based on existing Nissan Micra and Sentra models. To purchase this car you had to reserve a car a special Nissan Cherry Store from January 15th to April 14th 1988 and then wait for your car to be built. This car is the second in the series. It is more "retro" than the first car, the Be-1, as well as more usable with it's 2 piece hatch back with fold down tailgate. The car evokes the original mini with it's exposed door hinges, the Renault 4 with it's basic shape and flat (almost windshield), the Citroen 2CV with it's corrugated sides and 2 piece horizontally split rear seat windows. Inside it's the same with a flat body colour painted dashboard, quasi military looking radio, and simple single analog round speedometer. This example sports the rare manual transmission, with the rare khaki paint, and the rare hardtop, instead of a power canvas sunroof.
The car is 25 years old with 79,000 miles. There is wear evident with that much use on the car. It runs and drives fine, but the tires are an older matching set with more age than tread wear, the driver's door pins need new bushings, and the brakes are a little squeaky sometimes(new pads were recently installed and I don't know if it's a bedding in issue, or the fact that the pads did not come with shims to help squeaks and rattles). You cannot see it in the pics but on the right side of the vehicle under the rear seat window there is patch of clear coat that has peeled about the size and shape of a football. From 10 feet away it completely blends in. The radio has been converted so that it gets North American frequencies (Japan uses 76-90 for it's FM), but dial still shows the Japanese frequencies.
I also have the car for sale locally and reserve the right to end it due to a local sale. The car is registered in Washington State in my name. Washington state will allow you to keep the car registered in Washington even with an out of state license, meaning you will keep Washington plates on it and renew your tabs through the mail if you wish to do it that way. Sorry I couldn't post the serial number in the VIN spot. It's JDM 10 digit serial number: PK10108157.
Reserve: Out of fairness this is an auction and the reserve is held in confidence. Please bid whatever you would like to pay for the car.
Please only bid if you intend to honor the bidding process as a contract to buy the car. I welcome any and all questions about the car and will answer them in a timely manner.
Thanks for looking!
