Joe Cocuzza Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Just picked up an 82 Maxima Diesel Wagon.64,000+ original miles.All original - paint, interior, engine.Excellent condition.I really like diesels so that is why I bought it-and the condition of it made it all the more better.

Joe Cocuzza Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 I will try to get some pics of it this weekend. It now resides in its own garage all covered up with nice soft blankets, so, I would need to uncover it and take the shots then re-cover it. But I will try my best.Obviously, I did not buy this car to be used as an every day driver. It is just way too nice for that, as is my 1983 Ford F100 with 53,000+ original miles - but that's another story.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Both my dad and I had 82 Datsun King Cab pick ups with diesel engines. He bought his new and I bought mine about 5 years later that was like new with 22K miles on it. These only had 2.2L 4 bangers with 5 speed in them but they were bullet proof. They were slow to get going but would cruise at 70 mph without any trouble. I ended up selling mine to my dad 20 years ago after his got rear ended. He still has it but quit driving it a few years ago after the rear main seal started leaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Cocuzza Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 I would love to find a nice Datsun,Toyota, etc diesel pickup but they are hard to come by in any kind of good condition. Many years ago I had the opportunity to buy a friends 1980 or 81 Datsun diesel pickup. It was his grandfathers and he said I could have had it for $300.00. Sorry I didn't buy it.The Maxima has the 2.8 6 cylinder diesel which doesn't make it a rocket by any stretch of the imagination. Being non-turbo'ed makes for a slow take off and steep hills can be challenging, too.I have owned 3 Tempo diesels and they pulled up hills with little loss of speed or power.
