Nissan QX

[sierraman]

Seen a few of these for sale on eBay/autotrader at some pretty stupendously high prices i.e. like £2,000 for a 1999 example. Given they are fairly undesirable why are they priced so highly?

[gordonbennet]

Wishful thinking by dealers mostly, there a black QX on the bay at the moment on auction, i suspect the ending price of this one will be more realistic.

 

  I like them too, and Legends Camry's Legacy's and XG30/Grandeurs.

Totally worthless

Maybe export value - perhaps they are downright gangsta-chic in downtown Accra.

I am seriously tempted by a QX when the Almera gives up, last time I looked they were hovering around the £500 - £700 mark which is a price I'd pay for a 100k manual example. Three to four times that and I'm out.

A lot of dealers/traders seem to think rare=expensive.  These were all around a few hundred quid not so long ago.  Had a Maxima, its predecessor once and quite enjoyed it. 

[Shep Shepherd]

They put me in mind of a fat Primera, which isn't actually a bad thing in my eyes.

[Junkman]

Well, here is one for 590.

Worth a punt at that price but not having leather seems a bit naff. I thought that would have been standard in these things. 

[Wilko220]

I think they're quite cool and shiteworthy in a kind of Hyundai Sonata / Mazda Xedos stylee...

 

Worthless indeed.

[purplebargeken]

Nicer and cheaper: Still no leather though:

I believe these are really very good. Not had the pleasure though. Always fancied a more keenly priced honda legend myself

[Jim Bergerac]

Every single QX on ebay has an Oxford numberplate. Oxford being where Nissan registered fleet cars at that time. Did no one actually buy one?

[wuvvum]

I've had two QX's, the most expensive of which was £400.  Both quite well equipped, both autos, but neither had leather.  The 2-litre was a bit underwhelming - made the right noises but too much car for too little engine.  3-litre was a much better bet - amusingly rapid and a good Q-car.  Certainly wouldn't pay four figures for one though.

[ProgRocker]

I remember doing searches of QXs last year and wondering exactly the same thing about the 4 figure asking prices. Seems to be the same for Camrys too.

[gordonbennet]

Not surprised about Camry prices, rightly regarded as one of the most reliable and durable proper cars ever made.

Thats a nice Camry, 3 litre V6 too.

 

Get a couple hundred knocked off that price, check it out carefully, stick an LPG conversion on it, fully rustproof it, classic insure it, cheapest most comfy luxurious driving you could find.

[Asimo]

Car ad prices are weird.

 

These things sold like used food.

 

 

Guess why.

About 800 into the UK market yet still they are asking £6k+ for the oldest, leggiest examples of a £490 tax 23mpg gopmobile.
