So I just found this on my local CL, and this is a genuine NPOCP post, I have no idea whatsoever the worth of these. I barely even know what it is. I mean I know it's from the 80s, it's adorable, rare, and Japanese, so I'm already sold. But it only sounds vaguely familiar, I assume it's related to the Figaro. Anyways. Linky link. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

I don't know how to use these terms correctly because I'm not well-versed in fast drifting Nissans and such, but I always wanted to get one of these Nissan vintage-looking-edition cars and put one of those somethingSX engines into them and lower it and put rims, but leave the body generally original.

I'm mostly a fan of non-mod cars, but these are like the few cars that I wouldn't have another other way.

Are the wheels different on either side? They switch between black and yellow.

There is also a justy in the background of one of the pics.

Yup- related to the Figaro, as well as the Pao and - i think - the S-cargo. All Nissan pike cars based on the then contemporary March/Micra platform and drivetrain. That's a plus, since they made twenty bazillion of those, so the availability of parts are not a problem.

Unlikely to be the sharpest drive, but a great way of bouncing around a city.

That's pretty much spot on for a Be-1 in Canada. you can look here to see how much they go for in Japan. By the time you factor shipping, duties, random other fees, you'd pay about the same to get one from Japan. Plus it would be a hassle...

So not a bad price...not a great deal either though.

I don't know the value of them but it just feels like it should be about $8-$9k.

I figured it'd be something like that....I wonder what kind of demand for them there is here

It looks that way, unless it's a winter set and a summer set

I think you'll see a lot more interest in Pao's and Figaro's .

Personally, I'm waiting for the Cappuccino's and Autozamzs.
