According to its vendor, at this time’s Nice Price or No Dice Nissan 4X4 exhibits “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it could take swallowing one’s pleasure to pay its asking value.
Opinions have been cut up on how nicely the design of yesterday’s 2008 Audi TT has held up through the years. Some of you commented that the design nonetheless seems funky contemporary, whereas others felt it’s as stale as Jo Koy’s Golden Globes monologue. There wasn’t fairly as a lot discord on the Audi’s $8,000 asking value, although, as that loved a stable 60 % Nice Price win.
I believe we are able to all agree that, on the subject of driving one thing previous and form of beat up, vehicles get much more leeway than automobiles. A couple of scrapes or a mismatched fender on a pickup merely gives the look that it’s getting the job executed. Any automobile with such conflict wounds presents the identical enchantment as a head of unruly hair in want of a comb.
This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 has simply such that “can-do” and “has-done” look. Admittedly, it has some tough patches right here and there and the compulsory non-matching entrance fender, simply so that you’ll know that it’s not afraid of a bit of fine, old style work. That merely provides to its rough-hewn attraction.
It additionally has an extended mattress, an prolonged cab, and a locking work field, so it’s just about as much as the duty of hauling stuff when out on the job. According to the advert, the truck comes with 203,000 miles underneath its belt, however with each the physique and undercarriage in “good shape for the year.” It rolls on a set of black-painted steelies sporting fairly new tires with modestly aggressive tread, which needs to be adequate for mild off-roading. There’s some rust on the bodywork, however nothing too alarming, and the chassis beneath seems stable and remarkably clear.
The cabin options blue fabric buckets out of a later truck amidst a sea of brown factory-installed plastics. Just like the outside, the cabin comes throughout as well-used but in addition well-kept. The sprint, headliner, door playing cards, and trim all look to be intact, with the instrument cluster even providing a tach. Extra gauges stay within the heart stack, proper beneath the local weather controls and a contemporary aftermarket stereo head unit.
The drivetrain is workman-like, too. Under the hood resides a 103 horsepower Z24 2.4-liter SOHC 4 with an aftermarket Weber carb and matching tiny air cleaner. Those of you who’re S30 buffs will discover that this truck shares the identical under-hood mild within the nook subsequent to the brake booster as was used within the Z automobiles.
Behind the engine and the sunshine is a five-speed handbook backed by a two-speed (excessive/low) switch case for the 4×4 system. That system has get-out-and-do-the-twist manually locking entrance hubs however does supply the luxurious of an impartial entrance suspension that includes torsion bar springs.
Per the vendor, the truck “starts right up, shifts good, and works well, like many of these 80’s survivor compact pickups.” It additionally comes with hitches back and front for towing (half-ton capability) and winching and comes with a detachable winch for the latter efforts.
The vendor closes the advert by vowing that the truck has not been abused, claiming the clean-title truck exhibits “pride of ownership.” That pleasure comes with a $5,900 asking value (winch included).
What do you concentrate on this previous however seemingly still-in-the-game Nissan and that $5,900 asking? Does that really feel honest, given the truck’s description and look? Or does that value put this work truck nicely previous time to retire?
You determine!
