How to Test Drive a Nissan in Turkey
Don’t buy without tryingespecially in Turkey where road quality varies. Booking a test drive is straightforward. You can schedule one immediately by visiting the official site here. Just pick the dealer closest to your home or office; most major dealers in Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir have English speaking staff.
The “Hidden Value”: After Sales Service
Buying the car is the easy part; keeping it running is where the real work begins. Fortunately, Nissan’s infrastructure in Turkey is mature.
Roadside Assistance (Yol Yardım)
If you buy new, you get Nissan Roadside Assistance free for the duration of your warranty. This is a lifesaver if you get a flat tire on a remote road in Anatolia. The service runs 24/7/365 and covers both Turkey and Europe. Keep this number saved: 0212 225 49 59.
Warranty Coverage
Standard warranty terms usually cover:
- Passenger Cars: 2 Years or 60,000 km
- Commercial Vehicles: 2 Years or 100,000 km
Crucially, Nissan Automotive Inc. often extends coverage for manufacturing defects up to 3 years or 100,000 km. If you plan to sell the car later, having a stamped service history from authorized centers is essential for maintaining value. You might need a Turkish Notary to finalize any future sale, and a clean warranty record makes that process smoother.
NISKASKO: Specialized Insurance
In Turkey, there is mandatory traffic insurance (Trafik Sigortası) and optional comprehensive insurance (Kasko). NISKASKO is Nissan’s branded Kasko.
Why choose it? Standard insurance might send you to a cheap third-party mechanic. NISKASKO guarantees repairs at authorized Nissan services using original parts. Given the complexity of modern sensors and bumpers, avoiding aftermarket parts is worth the premium.
