Every Figaro owner has the following 'problem'.....
Under the hood you will see 3 'white' stickers that once contained text that has become blurred or even completely blank over time.On a Figaro with an ultimately low mileage, we saw stickers in their original condition and photographed them and had them recreated on thick laminated 3M sticker material (a few mm larger and punched out with rounded corners).... So make your Figaro again. original' with these unique stickers....
Set of 3 costs 25 euros
The Figaro Owners Club in the UK have kindly made a video on how to install our decal set, click on the link to see how it works.

What a deception for these Swedish Figaro buyers
Earlier this year we received a call from a Swede with many questions about our Figaros.
Of course, it's always nice to make someone enthusiastic about one of our cars.
After answering all the questions, he became more and more enthusiastic and I advised him to come by and find out his dream Figaro….He came by, with his girlfriend... in a Figaro!
They just bought it in Waddinxveen from a car company for 8000 euros….
Unfortunately, we know this car and it was delivered by us in 2012.
A few years later the entire rear was driven off and it was patched up very amateurishly...
the rear is completely wrong, the entire rear is 4 cm lower than normal because the rear has been 'buckled', the sills have completely rotted, the dashboard torn, just like the seats, rust spots everywhere on the tailgates and screens and no longer provided with essential updates after 2015.
What a deception for these nice young people who put their hard-earned money into a lousy Figaro….
It will not pass any import inspection in Sweden!
Such a shame that they didn't visit us BEFORE purchasing...
The garage does not want to take the car back anymore...
Lesson from this story; get information in advance and view several Figaros...
How nice is it when young entrepreneurs use the Figaro as a rental car.
We regularly rent out Figaros for all kinds of purposes such as weddings, photo shoots, commercials, etc., etc.,
but these young guys go a step further and we would like to support them in that!
Life Style clothing brand Mr. Marvis...
has launched an international TV campaign in the summer of 2023 with a great role for the Nissan Figaro

10x a quarter is more than 2x a guilder!
We were raised with this wisdom and that is how we work.
And that is quite different from that of any competitors (which, by the way, don't really exist given our market share).
High turnover rate, low margins, resulting in many satisfied faces!
To ensure that more Dutch people drive a Figaro, we have decided to put a stop to the large export numbers of recent years and actually only want to sell Figaros in the Netherlands.
(We would only like to sell abroad in exceptional cases and at special conditions from which we do not deviate, please inform yourself 'upfront')

Beware of this Figaro!
Warning: a Figaro engine is NOT a standard Micra engineA large car dealer in the east of the country is currently offering a Pale Aqua Figaro (license plate known to us) that they traded in (4 years ago) on Marktplaats with a standard Nissan Micra engine instead of the original (hot-running) Figaro engine.
They thought they were smart and, for a few tens of euros, installed an old Micra engine in the overheated Figaro (that is called running because the car had not been modified in advance, read about that elsewhere on the site). The mechanic called us and asked some questions about adjustment details, etc.
When we asked further, it turned out that he was transferring the engine from a scrap Nissan Micra.
You have been warned: this car will NOT have a long life with this engine!
A Figaro has different pistons, different head gaskets, different tightening torques, lower compression (because of the turbo engine) and even more adjustments and a standard Micra engine cannot deal with that.
When I pointed this out to the technician, he said: "The future customer will probably not see that...
"Well: you have been warned (license plate KH-05.....)
This is clearly NOT the correct way to repair (and even with the correct engine but without further modifications it also opens up the possibility of future problems)
They also mention in the advertisement that a NEW engine has been installed...
This Figaro from the UK also has a UK damage history, which is not mentioned...
Oh yes, they also ask 11,000 euros for it!
With us you can buy a really good Figaro for less!

Our market share continues to increase
Of course, we also sometimes want confirmation of our market share, we know what we are putting on the market, but are there others actively working on Figaros...
Well, no, not really, of the 60 most recently registered Figaros there are 56 from our company.
And that doesn't include the cars we export....
