[net.auto] questions on buying a new car

pace@othervax.UUCP (04/16/84)

Sorry if you've already read this or maybe even replied! I'm sending
it again because we've just had a second VAX installed and our net
connection was down for a while. Also, I was moved to the second VAX
and therefore my mail address changed so any replies sent to me will
have gone to /dev/null !!!
Thanks for bearing with me, now down to business...


Does anyone out there own or used to own a Nissan Pulsar (the sporty
model) ?
If so, I would appreciate any info at all on this car, good, bad, or
indifferent. I am considering buying a car and want a small coupe or
something like that. Any suggestions on other cars maybe?
What are Datsuns in general like in terms of not rusting, reliability,
etc. ?
Also, I'm a Canadian resident, would it be cheaper to buy it in the
states and then bring it back through customs etc or would it come
out to the same as buying it here (in Montreal). Maybe even buying it
in some other province in Canada instead of Quebec?
This is the first time I'll be buying a car in North America, if anyone
has any helpful hints or suggestions on general things to look out for
they will be most appreciated.

Please send all replies via mail and I'll post a summary if there is
enough response.

Thanks in advance,
                    cheers,
