Hiya folks. Just been to the nissan dealers with my good friend and he has took the hit and picks it up friday!
Anyone have any experiences with these?
I know A.K has one.
Its a 2006 on a 55 with 51k on the clock. Its got full leather, auto box, sat nav, parker sensors, tow bar, blacked out windows- pretty much everything i think! Only thing it hasnt got is the checker plate cover on the back.
Dont think it were used comerically tbh looking at the spec and the general condition of he thing. Had private reg on before aswell!
It cost 10k + plus vat. Is this a good buy?
How much to fill the tank, How many mles to a tank? How powerfull are they? Pretty quick? Problems.
Anything really

my best mate had one of these for awhile,no idea why as its a ridiculous car at the time for an 18 year old lol.
He had the 2.5 turbo diesel and it was slow as shit,nice and comfy though although don't remember the MPG being amazing for a diesel but then it is a big car!
Sounds like a good buy though,think 10k is pretty decent although ain't checked prices on them.

Yer my mate is 18 too If you can afford it though why not?
Brand new ones are 22k at the dealers with very same spec. So lost half its value in 2.5 years

they arent quick, but I dont think anyone in their right mind would buy it if looking for a quick 'car'
They are more powerfull than L200's though.... and can easily be chipped.
They are great for towing... good heavy car, nice torque.
MPG - I drive like an arse in in so never really see over 30mpg un-ladden... cruise at 70'ish though and it'll do 30mpg, cruise at 90 and maybe 23mpg.... towing low 20's to high teens.
It takes a fair bit of diesel... havent filled it since the prices came down but about £90'odd in diesel a few months back.

No speed wasnt 100% factor in the purchase

Those wheels look good on it, not trying to be a gangsta mobile.

no real problems that I can think of....
stereo volume is a bit hi/lo, no fine tuning of volume
comfy enough.... We've driven some long distances without aches and pains. Good room in the back.
I would choose it as a 'car' though.... Its a bit commercial/agricultural. For what we use it for it does perfectly though
