Pickup trucks and country music go together like, well, like pickup trucks and country music. Maybe that's why Nissan chose to introduce its new compact pickup in Nashville last summer. If you want to impress me, just serve dinner on the stage of the Grand Ole Oprey and host a live country music show. Objectivity is sacred, of course, that other stuff is just fun. I swear. What Nissan revealed in Nashville was a small pickup we predict will find a very receptive market. The two most asked questions at the introduction were: "Why no V6?" and "What's not to like?" To Nissan's credit, there wasn't an answer to the second question. As for the first question, a V6 is planned for next year; the V6 wasn't ready for the 1998 model and, rather than wait another year for the new pickup, the company decided to launch the new pickup this year and add the V6 as soon as it's ready. Besides, Nissan said, most buyers of compact two-wheel-drive pickups opt for four-cylinder engines anyway. In the past, Nissan didn't name its pickups--though they were often referred to as Hardbodies--but Nissan gave its new truck a name: Frontier.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 1998 Nissan Frontier, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 1998 Nissan Frontier for less money than when it was new. If the 1998 Nissan Frontier was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 1998 Nissan Frontier is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 1998 Nissan Frontier will have a excellent resale value. This assumes that the 1998 Nissan Frontier is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
