Nissan company says that their engines can last for about 400,000 km without any major repairs provided that we do our maintenance properly.
i think its not the matter or how long you use the vehicle...
its the matter of the millage and the maintenance..
but 1 thing mate.telling you from personal experience..we had Nissan b211..and we went for a n17 and we had it. maintenance are totally different but when you get used to it it wont be a prob.
you wont be able to use new vehicle as easily as toyo dx wagon..most of the times it need only air for the tires and petrol for the engine isn't it?
its not the same for modern cars.
regular services,tune ups,changing fuel filters,crank angle sencers,thermostats etc..
it wont be easy as toyo dx wagon but dont worry u'll get used to it :alc:
maintain the car well..it will last long...
