NIssan Sunny VIP

[Landex]

My fren is keen on getting the Nissan Sunny VIP.

 

As per topic, any owners of this ride out there?

 

Care to share if the parts are the same as the normal Sunny?

 

If not, are the parts of the Sunny VIP easily avilable?

 

Any info on the FC?

 

Tks very much in advance!

Sunny VIP is actually the JDM version of Sunny. Introduced around 1998 or 1999 as a gap filler between the N16 and its predecessor. Which means, all suffer from the high COE of that time, so odds are most have been scrapped.

 

Back then when my dad test drove the Sunny VIP, one comment was the gear stick (auto) is very close to the central console. No idea of what parts it shares with Sunny.

got a co-worker who drives a vip. NEO engine. so I think should be good ba... in terms of FC wise.

 

he drove corolla, 323 and focus before.... and he swore by the reliability of his vip...

 

didn't know nowadays still can get a vip. but he got his from tan chong this Jul.

Nasi lemak!! So no FR abt tis ride??

[Landex]

Orkees... yups.. u r rites.. it's a NEO engine.. but dunno wat it means leh.

 

Btw.. hw ur co-worker got his VIP frm TC... it's weelly a mystrey!!

 

Was juz wondering if the spare parts ( if diff frm normal Sunny ) are easy to get or nt??

 

Heard anytink frm him abt it??

 

tks for info anyway, mate!

[Landex]

Ors.... i c....

 

dat's wat i tot so..

 

but when i went wif my fren to c the ride... the SE oso sotong.. din know dat the VIP was a gap filler... only knw dat it is frm jepun..

 

btw.. the one i saw taday is a manual one

[Ldawn88]

initially he was looking for la-teo. but in the end got a VIP . told me he saw a new registered vip in tc in new car waiting area. and he fell in love with that old hag .

 

on parts wise... have not heard him mentioned anything. but think since he got his in Jul, so everything's on TC ba. so cannot know if the parts are easily available outside.

 

but sat in his vip... not bad leh, eveything looks solid and durable.

 

btw, why you ask? you buying is it?

[Landex]

My fren is keen on getting the Nissan Sunny VIP.

 

Those $101 COE in 2001 should still be available and it's gonna be like looking for a needle in a haystack

[Vit4wd]

when it was first launched, i thought it was silly for it to be badged Sunny VIP. don't understand the "VIP" part.

[Landex]

i tot it is "Bottom of sea fishing for needle " ?

[Landex]

Oh yeah... tis is the one i went to c wif my fren yesterday!!

[Landex]

perhaps it's a jepuneese acroynym.

 

Frm wat i understand, it's the JDM sunny.

The VIP shares most parts with the SUnny, so no worries about parts.. maintenance is cheap and it is a very reliable car... if you want, buy the 2001 and above SS model which comes with the tachometer.. the earlier EX models no tacho.. but doubt the EX are still around since owners will scrap it due to the high COE that time.. FC is around 12 km/l to 13 km/l for Auto.. manual should be better.. only complain is that the rear leg space is too cramped... other than that it's a value-for-money car..

[Ldawn88]

asked him. he bought from TC. refurnished from nissan jp. but according to him, need to wait.

 

went to the nissan webbie, seems like they still take in order, but price not published.
