Everything Wrong With My £5,500 Nissan Elgrand | Bargain or Money Pit?

When I bought my 2008 Nissan Elgrand Highway Star, I knew it wouldn't be perfect. After all, it's a 17-year-old Japanese import that cost just £5,500. After spending some time living with it, I've put together a complete list of everything I've found that's wrong with it—from the annoying little niggles to the bigger issues that need sorting. Is it still a bargain, or have I bought myself a money pit? In this video I take an honest look at the van, discuss what needs fixing, what it'll cost, and whether I'd still recommend buying a Nissan Elgrand if you're looking for a spacious family vehicle or campervan alternative. This is just the beginning of the Elgrand series on Drivelife. Over the coming weeks I'll be repairing the faults, upgrading the van and taking it on family adventures to find out whether it's really one of the best value Japanese imports you can buy.
