At first glance, this car appears to have a lot going for it. Claimed low mileage which is mostly supported by the images, delightful brown exterior and apparent overall great condition.
A quick glance yields a automatic transmission, however, and that, in turn, conjures images of the small four cylinder struggling against the slushbox. Even if you won’t run over to snatch this one up, I hope you’ll enjoy the brownness of this car, as well as the seller’s very odd photo choices.

This seller has refused to show the entire car in any one shot. Maybe that implies grand, luxurious size?
As I was saying…
This implies that the car sat in the sun, as it looks like that back seat is faded. Still, it’s hard to tell with shading, etc. Note the unwelcome shifter in the background.
There’s no tach, which means this car has the “DATSUN” blanking plate. When did you last see a blank in place of a major gauge?
If this is original, the like-new condition of the alternator badge and generally clean state seem to support very low mileage.
