Thinking of Buying Terrano11

Hi we're new to the 4x4 world and looking at buying a Nissan Terrano 97 turbo des. Mostly for the extra seats in back and the size.

I just want to know are this cars any good?

-Running costs? long trips and aroudn town?

-parts costs when needed?

-ANY PROBLEMS they can have thats are not of a normal probelm?

-Can they do beach drives - soft or hard sands?

- if you use the 7seater, are they ok for kids in the back? We only need to use the rear seats for a short time of the yr. (Just long trip involoved for the kids)

ANY ADVICE given would be great.

Hey Ocka,

Terrano don't come in 7 seaters, well none that I have seen anyway. Sure your not thinking of a Mistral, same motor.

Yep this is 7seater, unless we were looking at the wrong car on the weekend. - it has those box seats(or what ever there called lol) in the back.

Maybe you call it something else in NZ, i'm in Aus.

Anything Nissan=$$$$
Petrol= $$$$
97 terrano=no ladder chassis=hard to mount anything on them like bullbars, winches etc.
But I would buy a nissan any day rather then a toyoty :lol:

I'll take the $$$$ to mean not to cheap to run than, haha

And lucky we don't want to put anything on it either.

like you i'd buy nissan b4 i'd buy anything else too.

Not a complete Terrano, just needs a body.
