https://www.ebay.com/itm/1991-Nissan-Figaro/202461823692?hash=item2f23aa42cc:g:AMgAAOSwJd1buRQQ&vxp=mtr

2. someone else is selling a black one with buy it now price of $ 34,500

i cannot decide what is the worse color for a figaro, black or pink

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-Figaro/223171320840?hash=item33f60c1c08:g:0rkAAOSwEaBaOTZA&vxp=mtr

why would anyone take a great looking car and in my opinion, make it look terrible

Prices show the Emerald Green ones sell for higher.  I moved a lot of these personally back in the days when I was running Car Transporters for a living. I stand by my opinion regarding colour. Topaz Mist is better "in the flesh". Green is timeless classic colour.  When I'm looking at these cars, with a view to buying...Grey and Pale Aqua dont get a 2nd glance.
Bill, prices are going through the roof here in the UK, driven by interest from the States. Anything you're buying at £3,000 has the arse end hanging out it.  I've been following sales in the UK for a while now, and I still think Japan has better deals, if you do your homework. The last one I bought was in Okayama, which is out in the Boonies. Photos show a nice clean car, so fingers crossed. Oh, and it's Emerald Green. LoL.

They are a different driving experience from a Mini...but they are really nice cars. I like them. My GF has an Emerald Green one in Florida and loves it.  So much so, that she has another one arriving in Jax in Nov.
Personally, I think the Lapis Grey is drab, and looks terrible. Pale Aqua is not much better.  Topaz Mist is nice, but not as good looking as the Emerald Green. She can't drive both so one of them will be for sale to pay for her new kitchen.

Duncan imports has a ton of them some in the $30's others say personal stock.
A green/white Figaro sold about a month ago on BaT for $24k.
There is a LHD converted one for sale for $34k.

Those are always over priced in the US.  Much cheaper in CA

Last one I saw on BaT went for $11US !.... too much
