Y61 is being dropped by Nissan.

So all good things must come to an end it seems.:jawdrop:
Literately sold millions & then stops selling them !!.
when stocks sell out in AU thats it, there all gone.
RIP GU.
Hope this means V8 diesel Y62 coming ASAP.

I read that too. Do I just add another couple of zeros to the cost of mine if I ever sell it?

Apparently, like the GQ, it is only being canned by Nissan australia. The Y61 will still be manufactured but not sold in Australia.

I saw a weird looking Patrol on the news story of that child abduction over seas
Typical UN job very plain but definitely a GU

Is that due to the fact they are having trouble selling many (way more expensive) V8 petrol Y62's

The 3l doesn't meet the new emission laws that are kicking in. And Nissan doesn't have a alternative engine to put into the y61 .

Here's their chance to do what every other car manufacture is doing, look elsewhere.
How many years has the AU market ( probably the world over) been calling for something better than the 3 ltr motor.

I believe it's too late for that. If they haven't conjured up something for now my thoughts are it's game over for the patrol .
Hope I'm wrong.

Exactly. You want the diesel, but you are also one of a minority of countries that want RHD on your cars.

I would think, if you wanted to sell it now would be the time.

For the Nissan die hards the Y62 has come down in price and at this stage seems reliable and the second hand market is very tempting.

At the moment the cashed up Y61 buyers might be interested in the Y61 with a TD42 but finance buyers seem to be having trouble getting finance for a vehicle of this age.

Nissan + Japan = RHD, so it's only the motor.

Absolutely agree.
Over 10 years old, shitty NCAP, overpriced as far as bean counters care, all mean the majority of main stream lenders won't do secured loans on the TD42 variants.
Cash is King.

I'd say it's more the markets they sell in not the country they come from?

>>>tappin from tassie

Putting it down to cost only, given the gfc is still on going.
That being said, the world in general has been calling for progressively cleaner engines over an extended period now.
