Used Nissan March / Micra for Export from Japan
The March (Micra abroad) is one of the cheapest tickets into Japanese-import ownership — a simple 1.2L city car with decades of parts commonality across Africa and the Caribbean. The K13 generation (2010–) is the export volume pick. It competes head-on with the Vitz and Passo on price; buyers choose the March when the equivalent Toyota hammers too high that week.
Typical FOB range: $3,000–$6,500
Key facts
- FWD; 1.2L HR12DE three-cylinder with CVT
- Best for: lowest-budget imports, city driving, first-car buyers
- Bolero trim adds retro styling and a small resale premium
What to check at auction
Same HR12DE timing-chain caution as the Note — oil service history matters. Check AC compressor operation (a common fault) and CVT behavior. Thin body panels dent easily; count the exterior score carefully.
