Reader David R and his wife bought not one, but two of these quirky and rare Nissan Figaros. These weren’t ever officially sold here in the States, but now that they are over 25 years old they can be imported and registered for street use. They originally thought it would be fun to have a pair, but have since decided it doesn’t make sense to have two, so his has to go! If you’d love to give this unique little car a good home, be sure to message David via the form below.
Asking Price: $18,000
Location: Naples, Florida
Mileage: 60,000
Title Status: Clean
VIN: FK10014935
Seller’s Description: Finally able to import this 1 year only car JDM car into the USA as it is now over 25 years old. Only 20,000 made in 1991 for 1 year only, for Japan with a lottery system to buy the car new. A collector cult car worldwide. We bought two, his and hers set, but decided to keep my wife’s and sell ‘ mine “.
Body Condition: Excellent body with no rust, shiny paint and no body damage at all. Nice chrome and glass.
Mechanical Condition: Mechanically excellent with everything working as new including ice cold a/c. Four brand new Yokohama tires, new brakes, new top, new interior. Runs and drives great with no noises, smoking or drips of any kind. A car you can get in and enjoy driving today. Features include the automatic transmission, power brakes, power steering, power windows, leather interior, cold a/c, and cd player stereo.

18K? Dollars?? I guess location is everything. I have a friend with one. I can’t wait to tell him about this.
They are neat little cars though.
One just sold on BaT for $24k. They were cheap a few years ago but now they are 25 years old like all the Classics in Japan they have gone way up in price.
A good number of these were imported as used cars into NZ in the 1990s and sold for premium prices. They became an instant collectable and remain so, to this day.
Neat li’l machines, inspired by the Bianchina and its Nuovo 500 cousin.
There’s one on CL Vancouver that looks identical $9k CDN
There are about 18 of these for sale, various colors, on a JDM dealer site in Virginia
Import one yourself for a lot less than this.
And today 1 sold on BAT $10,800
Kind of shows the lack of interest, this car was featured here in June, on CL in Evanston, Ill. for $22,000 and nobody caught it. How it got to Naples, Fla.( on a truck, I hope) is pretty is obvious. Flip city. Goes to show, clearly the Evanston owner didn’t get their $22g’s.
Duncan imports has a whole load of these cars

115 of them….. Anywhere from high 5k to 25K plus.
I never would have guessed.
And my friend was hoping to get 2k for his.. lol
I agree with most of the comments here…very sweet little car which seems in very good condition, but at a wildly premium price. Have, like others, also seen similar cars in similar condition for quite a bit less.
They really do have a bit of cult status and you rarely see one, even at car shows. The simple quirky retro design is very appealing. If you’re interested in this sort of car or one of it’s unique cousins, like the the S-Cargo, you’d do well to shop around. I wouldn’t mind having this in my garage next to my 2CV and 500…probably use it a bit more than it’s mates too with the a/c available.
We have a mint one which was purchased for $9k Cdn. My brother just sold his for $8k Cdn. It is mint. This guy is dreaming at $18k U.S. There are lots of them up in Canada at 1/2 his price.
I hope you BF guys make money from the listing, not from the sale.
I saw one for sale at a car show in the spring for 7k. The guy took it back home with him. Did I miss a great opportunity?
there’s several co (CA, MI, VA & more) that import these 4 U along w/another 1/2 doz to a doz similar models. All JDM, all old enuff for ‘under the wire’ smog’n safety regs. All RHD, all in much better shape than Amer. vehicles of that age.
I got/restored an ol $50 USPS Scout w/ RHD. Didn’t like it’n sold it for a nice profit after restored. RHD is easy to learn (shifting, left hand radio, etc).
The best? Parallel parking.
The worse? Every(single)thing else.
One of the few cars designed by Nissan that to me looks well executed. I guess they were too far out in front of the BMW Mini and the Fiat.
