Yes—the Nissan Wingroad can be worth importing if you want cheap, car-like cargo space and can buy one very cheaply. In rough terms, a good import buy is often around $2,000–$5,000 landed for an older, decent-condition example, while cleaner/lower-mileage or better-equipped ones can run about $5,000–$8,000+ landed. If you’re looking at a local used wagon, the Wingroad only really makes sense when the all-in import cost is clearly lower than a comparable domestic wagon or small van.

A quick caution: prices change a lot, and you should check sold/completed listings plus your country’s import rules before buying.

What makes it worth considering:

  • Practical wagon shape with better cargo usefulness than many small hatchbacks
  • Usually cheaper than trendy JDM vans, 4x4s, and performance imports
  • Nissan mechanicals are generally familiar compared with obscure imports
  • Good fit for light-duty cargo, city use, and low-cost utility

What could make it a bad buy:

  • CVT condition can be the deal-breaker on later automatic models
  • Rust, tired suspension, and neglected maintenance can erase the savings
  • Some body/interior/import-specific parts may be slow or annoying to source
  • It is not a van, truck, or off-road wagon; payload and ground clearance are limited
  • Resale may be weaker than better-known imports

Best recommendation: import one only if the landed cost is clearly below a local used wagon, small van, or hatchback. For most buyers, that means around $2,000–$4,000 landed is attractive, $4,000–$6,000 is only fair if it’s especially clean or legal/easy to import, and $6,000+ landed is usually too much unless it’s exceptional. Confirm import legality, transmission health, rust condition, and parts availability before paying.
