itsmemattpee Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Hey all, I'm new here and my quest for a second truck has brought me to shop for a Nissan 720. I live in a mountainous area and find myself very frequently in the hills shuttling for mountain biking, skiing, and shooting quite frequently and my 2WD Tacoma although it has been an amazing work commuter isn't cutting it. Would you mind taking a look at this truck and telling me if you think its a good buy? I know the things to look for are water damage around the windows and in the carpet, transfer case noise, and non working electrical gauges but can you all think of anything else? Thanks!

wayno Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Welcome :) I really couldn't tell you about if that is a deal or not, but thought I would say hi. :) Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I'd say it's a little on the high side. You could get a 4x4 KC hardbody for less than that. Looks like a nice truck though.. Quote Link to comment
laotsu Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 seems like a lot for a 720 or just aboot any Datsun for that matter... did Leno drive a 720? Quote Link to comment
Jason Wright Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Welcome to the forum matt. I agree with draker and laotsu. It's seems a little high for what it is. Looks like a really clean truck. I've seen newer trucks for less. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Whats the average 4x4 truck cost today? Can you fix them like a 720? It's not bad looking for the price. Quote Link to comment
JoeCool Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 It's got Scooby Doo floormats! GET IT! They increase the value immensly! LOL... But seriously, it does look nice. Go check it out THOUROUGHLY. If you don't know what to look for, take it to a mechanic who does. Give it a road test. If you still like it, bargain with him, talk him down from that $3200.

dr.feltersnatch Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 says it was rebuilt 5200 miles ago, rebuilt how? by a shop or in his back yard? not saying you cant do good work in your back yard but if it was a shop does it have a warranty? is it transferable? i have had several 4x4 720 and they were all super dependable. the z2.4 is a low end torque monster perfect for wheelin but runs out of poop above like 4000 rpm so dont expect to hot rod it.

gryffinwings Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Like everyone says, nice for a 720, but not worth 3,200, you can definitely find some like that for cheaper. Definitely ask about the rebuild. Also note that it has a cracked windshield, your probably going to want to replace that. Quote Link to comment
