Used Car of the Day: 2009 Nissan Cube

Remember the Nissan Cube? I do. I remember testing one back in the day. Well, this 2009 Nissan Cube is for sale by the Canadian border for those who like funky city cars.


This one has around 50K miles and the seller says it's in good mechanical and physical condition.

There's not a ton more to the ad copy than that, other than our seller pointing out most of the surviving Cubes have more than 200K miles on them.

If you're interested in going cubic, this 2009 Nissan Cube is going for $14,995 in way, way upstate New York.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Massena is indeed way up there. They don't use much road salt because it doesn't work well in extreme cold. They use sand on the roads.

    50k over 15 years is about 3500 miles a year so there's a fair chance this car was used by snowbirds in the summer and stored in the winter or towed behind a motorhome on a dolly.

    New York has a pretty tough yearly inspection but this sticker on this one expired in 2023.

    It might not be worth $15k, but then again...

      Um…. Salt is used plenty on state roads, and the winters are long.

    inspect carefully for rust, I live up here and I can tell you all that salt is heavily used on our roads. The salt season starts in October and runs till Mothers Day most winters.

  • Andarris Here in the Toronto area I haven't seen a 2006-2012 with intact rocker pannels for over two years now. I presume everywhere around the Great Lakes is the same ? They were super cheap dhring the first two years of the pandemic - could get one with less than 85K for around $6500 certified or a little higher mileage for $5000. Glad I skipped it, even in 2021 some of the 10's &11's were displaying corosion like you'd see on a 7 year older Impala, Camry or Accord. Also the mid-model switch to EPS made me balk at the few clean ones I found.

I only fly out of PDX or EUG to LAS or OAK and OGG then back .. have never been delayed in the last ?30-ish? trips to vegas/disneyland/maui/cruise ship vacations.... EUG has contract tsa so we never have any TSA delays. unsure which airports have PRIVATE contract TSA that is UNAFFECTED by the deadlock that i HOPE NEVER EVER END.
  • Big Al from Oz gidday mites how are yall feelin today? Want to have a barbie? We are right here gettin dee fire ready
  • Michael S6 The 3 Amigos better hope that the oil spike is short lived as 4-5 dollar a gallon gas would put a damper on their cash cows especially "Ford's strategic shift" of killing off the escape/Lincoln cousin. Most other automakers have a full line of vehicles with much better full economy. GM is sucking air and its Cadillac devision is mostly EV and geriatric line up of ICE cars and SUV's that were supposed to be phased out this year. The expensive gas may push shoppers toward EV but GM's horrible EV reliability is a barrier.
  • Tane94 I read the GM press release about first quarter sales 2026 vs 2025 and Buick is getting its butt kicked:Buick Total* 41,654 61,822 -32.6 The future is bleak for Buick.
