Car Make and Model : 1994 Nissan 1400
Age : 24 years
Mileage : 64500km but only goes up to 99999km so probably 164500 or 264500 or 364500 or more LOL who knows
Plan : Its still in a nice neat condition so plan is to keep it as long as possible, its not called a kanniedood for nothing, should go for another 10-20 years easily. Owned it for about 1.5 years and so far done the clutch, water pump, fuel pump, thermostat and replaced the old ignition this past weekend. Has the electronic distributor done and currently averages 14-16km per litre mixed driving and I sit in a lot of traffic. Not many new model UTE's get that kind of mileage and spares are dirt cheap, easy to work on.
