The Nissan Figaro is a fixed-profile convertible built for a single model year, 1991. Based on the K10 Micra chassis, Nissan initially planned just 8,000 units but high demand prompted them to build an additional 12,000. The cars were sold only in Japan via a lottery system, making them an instant collectible.
Its appeal lies in its charming retro styling, complete with a retracting soft top, leather interior, and a factory CD player. Under the hood is a small 987cc turbocharged engine, prioritizing style over speed. Since becoming eligible for US import under the 25-year rule, the Figaro has found a dedicated following, with values holding steady for clean, well-maintained examples.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust, particularly in the rear wheel arches and sills. The chrome bumpers are also prone to corrosion.
- The turbocharger is a known weak point. Watch for blue exhaust smoke or a noticeable lack of power during the test drive.
- Inspect the convertible top for shrinking, tears, and proper operation. Water leaks are common, so check the interior for signs of water damage.
- The original cream leather interior is fragile and often cracks. Pay close attention to the condition of the seats and dashboard.
Prices range from $5,450 for projects to $43,999 for concours-level examples.
