Our Take:
- Rarely Seen Today: The 1988 Nissan Stanza Wagon doesn’t exactly roll off everyone's tongue when discussing vintage cars, but that's part of its quirky charm. Back in its heyday, it was Nissan's answer to the growing demand for versatile family vehicles, and it challenged the minivan concept with its boxy yet utilitarian design.
- Unique Design: With its tall roofline and sliding rear doors (a bit of a minivan-crossover hybrid), the Stanza Wagon offered something different in terms of practicality. It's as if Nissan took a regular sedan and hit "super size" without apology—making it a talking point for those who like cars with character.
- Five-Speed Manual Transmission: The manual transmission is a notable feature that adds to the fun-to-drive factor of this Stanza Wagon. While most modern vehicles have shifted to automatics, the manual gives enthusiasts a more connected driving experience, which is a rarity in family-oriented vehicles.
- Well-Maintained and Rustproofed: Finding a rust-free example from the late '80s is quite rare due to the wear and tear vehicles typically undergo. The original owner’s decision to rustproof it was a wise one, and with a new exhaust system and battery, this car is ready to hit the road—just keep an eye on those front brake pads!
