    Very good question Second hand value 200%. Spareparts can be found at any super market ( Laughs specially) . Heard it does 12kmpl ( when towed while idling)

    Nissan Vanette

    Cyclist replied to dammika.me's topic in NISSAN

    I use a C22 Vanette DX Diesel Manual Flatroof for daily running, here are my views. Pros: it does 14km/l without AC and with AC it does 11km/l on short runs. On longer continuous drives , I have seen it doing 18km/l. My van has 400000km on the odometer and still running strong. Service is at every 3000kms which costs around Rs 5000 Spareparts are cheap and available everywhere. This van never gave us any trouble on the road. Vanette Easy to drive, power steering feels very light and gear shifting is soft. So are the clutch, brake and accelerator pedals. it has a good resale value. Cons: C22 is not the most comfortable van out there. On rough roads it become very bumpy. And I'm not sure this van can take any kind of impact , frontal or sideways. It has a very thin body. So better drive carefully. My C22 builds excess engine temp when driven in slow traffic with A/C turned on. Can be fixed by placing a secondary electrical fan for the radiator. Body parts are coming scares. if you are going for a vanette, check the body condition very well, because vanette body is very much prone to rust. Too much rusted vanettes are hard to restore to original shape as there are few distinctive lines along the body which becomes very noticeable when messed up. Since you mentioned spare part cost: here are few things that I remember. Front Shocks : Tokiko : Rs 4000 each Rear Shocks : Tokiko : Rs 2800 each A/C Compressor ( used) : Rs 9000 Injector Nozzles : Zexel : 2250 each Rear Brake Pads : 2500 Timing Belt : Rs 4500 All other belts total : ~4000 Other Front suspension parts such as the Tie rod ends were really cheap too, I don't remember how much I paid for them. Running repairs : Diesel Filter : from 1500 Air Filter : From 2500 Oil filter : from 800 Final word: Vanette is great vehicle if you need a economical and reliable vehicle that has a good re-sale value. It will be a best friend if you are a starting up business/family man with a tight budget, providing you with reliable low cost transport.

    weldone mate. Great idea!

    I use a C22 as my daily runner too. Usually does 10-11 lkpl with AC in city drive when everything is ok with the engine. I too think the way you measure the fuel is not accurate. There can be more fuel in the tank left even the pump gave up. As a member above said fill a full tank and run for at least 100km to and then top up to get a good average mileage. BTW , were the injector nozzles in good condition when you serviced your pump ? How often you change your air filter ?
