That Datsun now ruled out.  I couldn't live with staring at that dash all day. Additionally, as someone stated earlier, Infiniti brand is aimed at the American market, which I know from experience means parts get pricey in Blighty.

I keep coming back to that (although this is beyond me, but sure I could find someone who can weld better than me and wants some pocket money).

However, once welded up, including a couple of other chassis areas that need looking at, I still have a 18yr old, 231k car that has a seemingly impossible to locate oil leak, dust for rear wheel arches and odd doors ;D

But, its dirt cheap to own and run, capable, and fun.

9000 mile service intervals. :'(

Most cars these days are in the 16-20000 mile range.

If I get a soot blower, it'll get sub 5k oil changes.

My Datsun is also 9000 mile service interval which is fine, personally I wouldn`t want to leave it any longer than that.

I`m not keen either but I`m sure there will be other models and trims available or you could just carbon wrap with some shite from Hellfrauds  ;D

No matter which market it`s aimed at it`s Japanese so prices will always be expensive, it was like that when I was riding bikes in the eighties and nothings changed.

Trouble is that you`re seriously limiting your choices with a non German four door RWD saloon   ::)

If you slap on an LPG kit its probably worth a grand :y. It is (was) a tidy example, although mileage must be getting on now  :'(

Only cause the LPG kit is worth a grand, the car itself is worth £1
