This vehicle was imported from Japan by a private buyer in Q4 2017.  I purchased it from them in February of 2018, and stored it in a garage when I wasn’t driving it for the first year and a half.  This vehicle was used to take me to work, and run simple errands, as well as a weekend driver, but never went on any major road trips aside from the one-way trip to bring it home with me.  After a year I obtained a beater vehicle so that the Sunny could become a strictly pleasure-driver.  I have put about 9,000 kilometers (about 5,600 mi) on the Sunny since purchase.  Due to a sudden and unforeseen injury in early 2020 I lost access to a garage and was unable to drive the vehicle for about 8 months, where it sat partially sheltered outdoors.  Other than some minor cosmetic damage from the elements the car suffered no ill effects, and after a quick once-over starts and runs/drives just fine (though the battery needs replaced from sitting, I do not have the funds currently to replace it myself.  Turns over effortlessly with a jump as-is and runs/idles smooth.)
The car features:
– 1.5L GA15S engine (~85hp @6k RPM)
– 5-Speed manual transmission
– Fulltime 4WD, functionally it is AWD (there is no “4WD Low” control)
– “Sunny Tokyo” trim package with exclusive decals and floor mats
– Heat / AC blowing very warm and very cool respectively!
– Front & rear defrost
– Power locks, automatic
– Power windows, driver-side automatic
– Power folding mirrors
– Power adjustable mirrors
– Cassette player & radio
– Fold-down rear seats
The Sunny does NOT have airbags, does NOT have ABS, and only has lap belts in the rear seat.  Front seats are lap+shoulder like any modern vehicle.  It does however feature a cute analog bell that starts dinging if you go over 100 km/h, Japan’s national max speed limit at the time.  This can be disabled, but why would you want to??
Its in overall great condition for its age and the journey it has endured (hardship and all), but to keep this listing honest as can be here is every flaw I can find with the car, no matter how small or insignificant.
The bad, sparing absolutely no detail:
– Dent on rear driver-side quarterpanel. Shallow & easily pullable. No paint loss.
– Dent on rear left quarterpanel, immediately to the left of the gas cover. No paint loss.
– Dent on rear left door, almost exactly in the center.  No paint loss.
– Some decals around the vehicle are flaking away, specifically the “Fullauto Fulltime 4WD” decals on the doors.
– Fading and some scuffs on front bumper.
– Cassette player nonfunctional
– Missing one plastic hub cap (rear driver-side)
– Print on driver’s window controls partially rubbed away.
– Front left window inoperable
– Left mirror does not fold, the electronic mirror adjust works fine though.
– Hole in the fuel hose about 1 foot from rear left tire, vehicle still runs fine, but you lose extra gas.  Not sure what caused this.
– Minor flecks of paint damage on top of trunk.
– 1-inch long scrape with surface corrosion on left angle of hood/fender
– Missing the hood-opening spring (so it takes 2 people to open the hood, one to pull the lever and the other to pull up on it so it comes free of the lock. That is why it isn’t completely closed in the listing photos!)
– Ring of styrofoam-like debris on the dash… It came with the car, don’t ask me!!
– Some paint bubbling rust on the running board / door sill (rear driver-side).  It doesn’t crunch or give when pressure is applied so I don’t believe its deep in the metal.
– Needs that battery replaced, and could use a brake job.
– Needs a new relay to restore consistent operation to fuel gauge and temp gauge.  They currently work intermittently.  Low fuel light still functions correctly.  Relay part # is 24866-54A00
As much as I love this car, I can’t give it the care it deserves anymore.  It is all-original aside from wipers, tires, filters and fluids.  Included with it are:
– Original owner’s manual
– Original owner’s handbook
– Original Nissan serviceDial document holder
– Japanese service paperwork (incomplete)
– Full US-based paper trail, copies of import documents and prior titles available to buyer upon request.
– 1988 Nissan Sentra (NA) service manual.  Useful for certain system diagrams and blowouts.
– One original key and one modern duplicate
– Original spare
I might have the original Nissan brand wipers too, I had to replace them because they don’t wipe much of anything anymore, but if interested I can dig them out of whatever box I put them in so you can have another piece of the car as it came from the showroom.  I also had to replace one headlight bulb and have the original I removed as well.
If you have any questions, or want any additional photos of any part of the car, please let me know.  I should respond quickly within the same day and have plenty more photos on hand, and can take those which I haven’t already.  This car can be driven home by the buyer as-is, as long as they don’t mind wasting a bit of gas.  However as it has a very small engine and an alarm for going over ~60mph, you may not want to take it on a prolonged interstate trip.  You can, you just might not want to!  I’m hoping to find this car a good home.  Thanks for reading.
