2017 was the last year the Tsuru was sold in Mexico and it cost $7,000 then. In the USA the Tsuru was sold as the Nissan Sentra from 1991 to 1994 before being replaced by the B14 Sentra.

At my previous employer we had to cross from El Paso to Ciudad Juarez daily because we were not allowed drive in Mexico, to stay in Mexico, or venture outside of approved routes to and from the factory. We would ride with Mexican co-workers that lived in El Paso and I normally rode with an engineer that had a Tsuru. It looked just like the Sentras I remember from the 90's. I was way more comfortable riding to and from the factory in that car with tinted windows than any of the car service vehicles which were generally late model SUVs that attracted attention. Nobody looks twice at a Tzuru in Mexico.
