They were never sold here originally, only in Japan. Cute little retro-chic car and pretty reliable (based on 1l Nissan Micra - not the previous model but the one before that!). Cheap to tax, insure and if you keep it going it won't depreciate at all. High spec too: they are all convertible, automatic transmission, cd player, air conditioning, leather seats.

This one looks like a bargain

they won't depreciate once they haven't been crashed or neglected.

The only ones Ive ever seen were '91 '92 . There cant be that many of them about.

colm_mcm

there were only 20000 of them built (all in 1991 I think)

i know loads about figaros... there was a lottery system to see who could buy them... so they are very special indeed!!! They were only made in 91 and a few in 92. None since... PM me for more...

Gotta say, they are a nice little car. Expensive little things though! I'm assuming it's the exclusivity factor that is coming into play here, seeing as it is almost a 20 year old 1.0 litre engine??

Quite rare, though I 've seen at least 3 different ones in Limerick alone
