Nissan Patrol 4.8

Hi,

Does anyone know this Patrol's History? Was it a forum members?

A friend is interested.

I think it is +-40k overpriced? But condition looks good on the photos.

Thanks,

Condition looks good, but at least R50 - 60k overpriced imho. I ain't an expert but I look at prices weekly and you can get a face-lifted model one in good condition for around R150 - R190k. Big car dealers (in this case Nissan?) always seem to add 30% to normal retail. Anyone else got advice?

Important thing is to look for every little fault to get the dealer to either drop price by a hellofalot, or fix every said fault so the new owner has a nicely refurbished Patrol. Check under that dash cover to make sure there are no bubbles, check the rear right door where the spare tyre is, for cracks on the welds. Don't let them try and up-sell you with the extra's, they did NOT give the previous owner a better price because of them. Tyres look new, interior looks good. Mileage is also pretty low considering the age. If he can pick that up with no issues for R190k, it will be a worthwhile investment.

That is my , and I am definitely not an expert, just a Patrol lover... and hate to see dealers ripping us off.
