2002 Nissan Elgrand Highway Star (Canada Import) Japan Auction Purchase Review 

50,000 to 250,000 Yen?! I just googled the conversion rates, and in American dollars, that's less than $2,500!! That's so cheap for such a cool van!

the small middle seat, when you slide it forward it is to free up space and rotate the main seats. so that you are facing the back seat

Wow, never knew you could have one of these vans with a 350z motor. Impressive.

Headlight levelling is not just for trailers. Here in Europe all cars must have that feature, except cars with HIDs - these must be auto-levelling. You use use it when you load up your car with people/stuff in the back, which tilts the car increasingly towards the rear as you load the rear axle. This makes the headlights effectively shine higher than designed, so you need to lower the beam to not dazzle the oncoming traffic. Different will have different meanings for the numbers, but here on a 0-3 scale you'd most likely set 0 for an empty car with just the driver, 1 for a car full of people but nothing in the boot, 2 for people with a full boot, while 3 is the "extreme" setting eg. if you just load the boot with something heavy, with all of the weight at the rear axle. European countries in general are more anal about this kind of thing, but the benefits of being anal are clearly visible - driving at night in the USA is a nightmare when you've been driving in EU all your life, just because nobody cares about any of this.

Man, why don’t we get these awesome minivans here!? The last really neat one the US got was the Previa, and you cannot find those here anymore.

It is rear wheel drive

Derek,i noticed on the steering controls ( right side ) it also has cruise control not that many with this option come up at auction just a FYI in case you sell another and to look out for.

Are these legal to import into the us? Or do I need to wait for the 25 year rule to kick in

did you consider one of these before you bought the elysion?

Wow, I think im in love. Im buying one for sure. What are they like to drive though?

So the price you mentioned is the original brand new price or the current used price?????

They came as rear wheel drive or optional four wheel drive on some Models like the XL

There are millions of these in the UK they are imports but there are loads

I just purchased a 2002 EL Grande how can I get parts for that vehicle I live in the United States but I also have a home in the island of Antigua so how can I get to Parts

Nice :)

So much want! I could sell my FXT, get this, and use the rest of the $ for a track car for this to toe to the track :)

Is that an AZ-1 I see back there? What do those usually sell for at auction?

Is the Nissan Elgrand good for a wheelchair lifter could tell me what the measurement opening of the back door do you these elgrands to Australia are parts easily accessible in Australia thankyou Jack Hall

That is a very sexy lookong van. I think that would sell quick if it was on the side of the road with a for sale sticker here in Canada.

What kind of thing is that on the bumper at 2:22?

How about aiming the camera to where you talking about and slow down on the filming....

Do the Alphard please

Cool, another AZ-1!

I get it

Nissan Caravan E24 please :)

These have horrible gas mileage and the turning circle is terrible but it's pretty comfortable to ride in. I could have gotten one for free but the taxes are pretty damn high due to it being a 3500cc engine so I passed on it.

I want one of these lol

Why does this 2002 look like a 2012?

looks way younger than 2002.

Mines making noise in pipe

Nissan elgrand

One ugly van.
