Hello to all of the readers of this site ! It's been a long time since I visited this forum which doesn't seem very active , helas . Hum !
I pop in this 26th of february 2012 to let you know that I just have to and did sell my car - Nissan prairie M10 1500 cc 1988 - one year before it becoming an an " oldtimer " . I had to get rid of it because of the city office's environmental new policy . They wanted me to throw away the car because it didn't fit the annual technical control rules and was considered as a polluting car eventhough I wasn't driving it on the roads anymore and had it parked on the private ground in front of my home. That wasn't enough for the administration : such cars are polluting and should be scratched for them and not put in the trafic anymore. I nearly had to pay some fine . I begged for some delay and finally had time to sell it to a very happy man . Better than throwing it away !
Finally, I could sold it yesterday to Nissan Prairie lover ! And I am very glad he will fix it and drive it for a long time, I hope ! I am sad i couldn't keep ir for myself ! That's life !
Instead, I bought a 24 years old Mercedes-Benz 250 D diesel . The car body is nickel , no one negative point concerning the checklist estabished for the legal and compulsory annual technical control .
That means I wont feel very much concerned with the Nissan cars anymore ...at least for a certain time . Who knows that one day I come back to that maker.
By the way, the Nissan Prairie = Nissan Stanza Wagon in the States = Nissan Multi in Canada had this exceptional particularity that it had no vertical door separation between the front door and the sliding backdoor. Great !
But there is a good news : The car maker Ford is putting a new model on the market , starting this year 2012 which has the same feature as that Nissan Prairie ! waw !
Maybe in a near future could I buy that Ford model when it will be available as a secondhand car ! Let's be patient !
The Mercedes-benz 250 D - motor W214 diesel , 5 cyl - anno 1988 - seems ok. The car-body is perfect but a bizarre noise located in the back transmission box appears when driving too slowly at a to high speed : for instance : at the 3rd speed at a very low rpm such under 2.000rpm . I'll have to deepen my search for this problem ! The car has run +/- 250.000kms , I think, eventhough the meter is indicating 175.000 kms only but doesn't seem ti work correctly ! . I'll probably shift to a Mercedes-Benz forum in the future . See you one day here or on a MB forum ! Ciao ! You will follow me by checking my nickname in google or another Net engine ! Ciao!
Bye to all and enjoy your Nissan Prairie and keep it running for a long time ! Ciao !
