1989 Nissan Pao vs 1991 Nissan Figaro

What are the chances? Two of Nissan's sweet retrotastic "Pike" cars for sale at the same time.  Most people have never heard of oddball classics, much less seen one in the wild and here is your chance to buy two of them for less than a new Accord.  Now you get to pick the one you like better.  First up is this 1989 Nissan Pao offered for $14,800 in Gardena, CA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

Narcotizing Waft of Affordability: 1991 Nissan Figaro

"Hey DT, you guys post too many interesting cars offered for low prices"...said nobody ever.  At least, we haven't gotten that complaint yet (we have been accused of posting too many Volvos and, once, of sneaking into someones garage to take pictures of his car for sale...true story).  What is interesting might be a moving target, and the "low price" bogey is an ever evolving landscape of supply-versus-demand...but I think the basic thought behind this website is: you don't need to be a millionaire to drive something that is interesting, fun, and unique.  Like this 1991 Nissan Figaro offered for $6900 in Houston, TX via craigslist.

Head On A Pike: 1991 Nissan Figaro

Back before people were rolling their eyes at Chrysler's PT Cruiser and gouging their eyes out at the HHR, there was a properly cool postmodernist series of cars -- known as the Pike models from Nissan. The Figaro is the cutest of the Pike cars and it was retrostyled to resembled a 1960s Datsun Fairlady.  The little machine has a cool convertible roof that rolls down the center of the vehicle, but keeps the C-pillars in place.  The Figaro was built on the K10 Nissan Micra/March chassis and the interior (designed by Shoji Takahashi) was also styled to be a throwback to the past, with a simple padded dash, two big round gauges, sweet toggle switches, and a bunch of chrome.  Find this 1991 Nissan Figaro offered for $12,500 in Naples, FL via craigslist.

Almost Legal: 1991 Nissan Figaro

Whenever we post some oddball car, I also put a request at the bottom for people to find examples of similar cars and sometimes a few examples sneak in.  However, if you read this site on a regular basis, you might be familiar with tipper FuelTruck, who regularly scours craigslist across the nation for good deals, and when we asked for Nissan Pike based cars...he delivered.  Find this 1991 Nissan Figaro #4610 offered for an undisclosed amount, located in Vancouver Island, Canada.  Tip from FuelTruck

20k: Retro Cute: 1991 Nissan Figaro

 In the late 1980s Nissan launched a series of retro-styled cars was called the Pike series and sold them in Japan at a dealership network called the Nissan Cherry Store.   Everything in the Pike series (Be-1, Pao, Figaro and S-Cargo) looks like something that would be perfect next to a pink Hello Kitty purse or a stuffed Domo-kun...which is what I imagine a Nissan Cherry Store to be stocked with...anyway, find this 1991 Nissan Figaro for $18,000 in Napa County, CA via craigslist.  Hot tip from Kaibeezy.
