The website is beforward they purchase vehicles from every auction around japan and export them overseas. The auction that this figro was bought from is called Arai Oyama (アライオトオクション小山) which is located north east of Tokyo and is held every week and usually has 4500 vehicles mostly trucks but still has around 400-500 sedans and normal cars. And foreigners that don’t live in japan can’t make an auction account and when they are in japan it is hard for them to make an account because you need 2 locals that would guarantee you. Edit: the auction that this car was bought from is called USS auction which is located in many areas of japan, the biggest one being USS Tokyo which has 13,000 cars in a week to sell.
Jamesalister the prices are not that high but the mileage is super high, you know why because this companies are purchasing the cheapest of the cheapest so they could sell it fast and buy another one with that money. The low mileage cars are out of hand, they are all sold to local dealers who would pay huge amount for them and sell them back for huge amount.
Hey Sam make sure you keep the drain holes clear in the front roof area and rear trunk area or you will be faced with rust issues. Heaps of parts available in Uk including new steel arches. Bumpers rust from the back so check them out and put rust preventer on them. Front guards are plastic. You can get after market convertible vinyl kit from uk. Internal plastic bits have rubberized film on them which gets sticky this can be cleaned with orange cleaner and resprayed. Hope some of this info helpful.
Finally a rebuild car i can get behind! Your wife has a great taste. I love the car and am excited to see it being restored to former glory! Keep up the good work
Japan went through a little retro styling craze in the '90s, not long before their bubble economy burst. This is more retro than most of the others though.
That's why I like it so much! It reminds of a VW Karmann Ghia convertible only a much shorter wheel base. I wonder if it comes with extra Fukushima radiation?
We had one for 4 years, dead reliable car and a show stopper, you lucked out that the chrome is not rotted especially the bumpers, those are expensive as hell. Ours were the same colour as yours, and we actually have a friend who has 4 figaros with all the original factory colours which ar meant to represent diffrent times of the year. Greeting from Lithuania! Edit: these engines are prone to headgasket failure, because of a defective radiator/thermostat. Over time, high running temperatures causes the gasket to fail. If it has been maintaned and not ran on plain water it should be fine.
If you look at the temp gauge while hes driving it does look to be a little on the high side definitely past that half way mark. hope he sees your comment
Sam, I went to a Cars and Coffee today and you'll never guess what I saw there. That's right, a Nissan Figaro! It was Lapis Grey and the body looked perfect. The driver's seat needed some love though. Thanks for the preview on this.
Dude. That's so awesome that your wife watches your videos! Seriously, to have someone beside you who is your biggest fan and knows you is something very special. Keep doing your thing man, and I'll keep watching.
They only made 4 colors. To match the seasons. We’ve done around 6-8 cars, tops and seats and miscellaneous stuff at our shop. The gentleman buys them and fixes them up and sells them. We are down in Naples, Florida.
It's been a few months, I think many of us would like to see if you restored this little thing, and if so did you get any video? You can see Ferrari's and McLaren's and whatever all day long, but this thing is unique and TIL of it's very existence!
sam: asks wife what she thinks about the car wife: what car sam: the one in the video wife: what video you know i dont actually watch them right sam: dies inside
Dude. Prius? My God. That’s about the most reliable car known. I’ve seen ones with 500k still running fab. Many cabs in my area. But all in all, 135k is low miles. People just get fickle and sell cars too early. Way before useful life up. Many American made cars start having problems, and later model Nissans aren’t so great.
Thank you for the inspiration I got into making some basic daily vlogs about my Jeep. I’m trying to keep it consistent with the uploads but its such a struggle but I love doing it.
that car is absolutely adorable. nothing looks like it. it is great. the miles and unrusted rockers tell this car was loved by its last owner and well cared for. a big plus.
Sam, relatively new to the channel, love your work. My wife is Japanese, so I've been able to visit a few times. One of the first things I noticed was how well they take care of their cars. There are comparatively few with body damage; they're almost meticulous about taking care of their automobiles. Awesome content sir, inspires me to get into car restoration.
Japanese automakers have been very good at creating homages to other countries' cars. Mazda and Honda both have basically gotten the English Sports Convertible thing down, and the '96-'02 Camry is in some ways the best homage to an American sedan. It does not surprise me that Nissan cloned the Peugeot Cabriolet successfully.
When you have a Fig that;s running right it is pure joy to drive, And its not hard to get them running right! I have two and love em I have owned 94 cars in my lifetime (71) and this is one of the most fun!
As I see what it is about, Figaro is the modern Japanese Thunderbird: sweet details, nice interior and that front reminds me 2002 Ford Thunderbird a lot.
Keep forgetting the 25 year US Rule. These have been regular sight on UK roads since the mid 1990s. RHD and after 3 years no sales tax on the new purchase price. we get a lot of JDM RHD cars here. My friends parents had a skyline 4 door in the late nineties and nobody thought anything of it. It's great you guys are finally getting hold of these rare and exotic cars. Good luck !
I had a car with a power retractable antennae, everytime my gf took the car to a car wash i had to go to the junkyard and find another goddamn antennae because she could never remember to lower that thing!
Many domestic luxury cars from the 50s & 60s had power antennas. Sam must be super young, or not much of a car guy after all, to have never seen a power antenna.
@@ReemerFeddes my car was not a soft top good point i forget sometimes how hard it would be to live with one, i also have cats that would ruin one fast
Yes but the motor is not the same. They have lower compression. These hitachi Turbos a very small and parts are difficult to get but you can swap them for a garret one.
Great video. I bought a JDM Mark one Austin mini off eBay the seller got from Japan. After clearing the bad gas it runs like a champ. Has like 4000 miles on it. I saw a lot of the Figaros When I started to research what JDM meant. Good luck with the car keep up the great content
So Sam does a Ferrari, Porsche lambo corvette etc.... we all wonder how he will top those cars. Sam: here is my Nissan Figaro. Ok. Well played. Well played indeed.
Sam, I just want to tell you that its nice you could remember your wife's reaction to a rare car after a year and that you managed to get your hands on what looks like the cheapest Figaro in the world and it does not look like a 'Hooptie' from Hoovies Garage. (No pun intended to Tyler, I love your videos too.) I hope your wife will be pleasantly surprised when you finish restoring this rare vehicle. Hope to see videos of this car being restored to showroom condition.
oh no ,if a ferrari gets a road sign glued over a hole in floor , the nissan will get a coke can stuck with chewing gum over that rust hole ,SAMCRACKEAD STYLE
I hope your wife loves that car. I've never heard of one but fell in love the moment you showed us one. Although it looks nothing like it, it reminded me of the AMC Metropolitan from way back when.
Sam - after hearing your story of this little blue car - it's a perfect Disney movie along the lines of the "Love Bug"! Just add a hairy St Bernard and Sandra Bullock too play your wife and you have the best family movie in 40 years! A budget of 50 mil from Nissan and you're little car is a winner!

Well keep waiting then, most people like you dont pay attention to what he says and bash h for whatever reason, he says the recent Nissans quality gone downhill cause they ate owned by Renault, this Figaro is a 1991,way before the Renault takeover, hell at this time(1991) they were still making Skylines GTRs (JDM ones)
Can you share the process on paperwork to get the car here? Iv been looking into importing a car myself without using an import service, but i hear you have to fill out a bunch of forms for customs to make it legal.

Subhan Khalid Thank you
One day, buy it as a collectible and keep it away from the children who like to wander in your garage...
What an excellent video Sam 👍
What a cool little cabrio, never seen one before, great buy!
What do you do for a living...you have such a big farm.
Chicken farmer I believe?
Sam that car is so darn cute i never know they existed i hope your lady loves it i know i do justsayin.
I wonder if Sam's wife is going to be cool with a right-hand drive JDM car...
Thoroughly enjoyed this video! The best part was the surprise, very unique and special
Of all the Samcrac car projects I've seen, I am most enthusiastic about this car. The Figaro is truly interesting and something I wish to follow.

............. ... OH I GET IT
Can't wait for Scotty to make a video telling us why the Figaro is BS. 🤣
Well keep waiting then, most people like you dont pay attention to what he says and bash h for whatever reason, he says the recent Nissans quality gone downhill cause they ate owned by Renault, this Figaro is a 1991,way before the Renault takeover, hell at this time(1991) they were still making Skylines GTRs (JDM ones)
Rev up your clickbait titles/thumbnails?
I remember seeing this car on display at the Narita airport in Japan. pretty cool seeing it again.
Can you share the process on paperwork to get the car here? Iv been looking into importing a car myself without using an import service, but i hear you have to fill out a bunch of forms for customs to make it legal. I know this car is past the 25 year old mark, but it would be nice to know step by step how you did it. I live in Washington state and we have a port right here in my city that cars come through
Why do you not build a building to store the cars??
