I have had a 87 1.8 prairie for past 5 years, its an axcellent all rounder. It can move when you put your foot down but beware of handling, although its not too bad. I have had no major problems, it was a nice clean car when i got it with 112'000 miles its now on 160 something. paid £250 and worth every penny. Certain parts are difficult(body), but overall most nissan parts will do.
prone to rust so beware of loads of weld, check underneath and sills. Exposed petrol pipe by wheel arche also corrodes easy and is a bugger to replace. Some people want to charge the world for a prairie, but my opinion is hold out and a nice priced tidy one will come along. Theyre not really worth much as you tend to need another for body spares.
If your thinking of buying one go for it, nice for round town or long distance.
I've had this 1.5 engined car for 5 years. Problems have been electrical relay for main beam lights and horn, horn button not seated correctly, water pump, thermostat and rear dampers. I've also had to replace serviceable item like the hand brake cable, exhaust system and the rea brake cylinders. Easy to work on. I'm srapping it now because of welding required to rear radius arm fixing point. The car cost me 400 quid to buy and about 400 quid for all parts.
Owned for 5 years.
