Datsun/nissan 280zx, 1983, Low Milage, 5-speed, 2-seater on 2040-cars
Valrico, Florida, United States
The vehicle is in great condition. It was repainted about 12 years ago. As stated above the car has a couple of small dents on the hood and the trunk lid. It also has a couple of very small door dings. There are two areas on the front valance under the bumper that the paint is flaking. If you know anything about 280zs, you know they have many rust areas. Some of these areas are the bottom of the rear deck lid, around the tail light lens (bad), inside the spare tire valley, around the fuel filler, roof area above the windshield, the front section of the hood (very bad) and these are just the areas that are easy to notice. This vehicle is rust free in all those areas. The original owner had the car rust proofed and I guess it worked. The car also has never been smoked in. The interior of the car is original except for the back panel that covers the tail lights and the panel opposite the spare tire. I had them replaced with new vinyl. These are areas on ever 280ZX that shrink, ripple and just look bad. It is very difficult to cover the condition of every area of any vehicle. The car looks great but there are always areas that are not perfect. I always suggest that the buyer inspect the vehicle before purchasing. Everything on the vehicle is in working order, except possibly the cassette player (never tried it). Please if you have any questions about this vehicle, please ask. I cannot think of everything. I have done the best I can to describe this vehicles condition.
This vehicle is all original (nissan supplied) except for a few parts. These are suspension (springs and struts), brake rotors (frozen brand), stainless brake lines(6 flex), speakers. Also comes with a car cover, original window stickers, owner and repair manuals. This vehicle has been a Georgia/Florida car just about its whole life. I purchased it from the original owner in Atlanta Georgia about 9 years ago. She took very good care of the car even winning a couple of trophies from the Georgia Z car club. I do not have any experience shipping a vehicle. If you need this vehicle shipped please contact a shipper for the information.

Common Nissan Maxima vs. Subaru Legacy breakdowns
Tue, Mar 29 2016The Nissan Maxima and Subaru Legacy are both popular sedans. Similarities can be seen in price, styling, and performance. What are some common repair problems seen in each model? When do they occur and how much do they cost to fix? What about how to pay for car repairs? Let's find out. Check Engine Light Both Maxima and Legacy owners dread the appearance of this little light. In the Nissan, it's most likely a failed ignition coil. This part transforms the car battery voltage into a higher voltage required for starting. This problem appears more often in Maximas with over 140,000 miles. The cost to replace the ignition coil runs around $400, parts and labor. The check engine light on the Subaru Legacy is more often due to a failed oxygen sensor. The O2 sensor measures the oxygen level in the exhaust and can affect fuel consumption. This part fails more frequently in models with over 110,000 miles. The repair costs around $200. Legacy Sound System Problems It's not uncommon for the Legacy to have sound system failures at 140,000 miles or more. The speakers might not work or only function intermittently. Hitting a bump might also cause the radio to shut off. Repair costs here can vary, but the typical charge is around $600. Nissan Check Engine Light Part 2 The Nissan check engine light also may appear due to oil leaking from the camshaft position sensor. Difficulty with stalling and acceleration might occur as well. The repair costs around $250 and is more frequent in models with over 104,000 miles. Big-Ticket Items Some repairs are especially costly. In Maximas with over 120,000 miles, the power steering pump may begin to malfunction. This produces a clunking or knocking sound when driving over uneven terrain. Steering might be affected with abnormal noises heard when turning the steering wheel. A Nissan Maxima power steering pump replacement costs around $1,250, parts and labor. Now, if you begin to feel your Legacy vibrating or shuddering at around 116,000 miles, it may be a transmission problem. It's more noticeable when the car shifts gears. Legacy transmission repair can be expensive, costing up to $2,000 or more. Even more costly is a Subaru Legacy head gasket failure, seen more often at 110,000 miles or more. AC malfunction, fluid leaks, and engine overheating can occur when the head gasket fails. The repair costs are around $3,000.
Nissan raises base GT-R price to $101,770 for 2014
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Nissan has announced a few pricing tweaks for the 2015 GT-R, one of which pushes the most basic variant past $100,000 for the first time. The 2014 cost of entry was $99,590, while the 2015 GT-R starts at $101,770.
The GT-R Black Edition, meanwhile, will demand $111,510, up from 2014's $109,300. The GT-R Track Edition retains the $115,710 asking price of the 2014 car. The price increases on the base and Black Edition come with some additional goodies that should soften the blow to pocketbooks, including a retuned suspension that promises a "more sophisticated ride," while LED headlights come standard. Bose Active Noise Cancellation has also been added to the 2015 GT-R, as has a new interior color option on the base model. For a full rundown of new goodies on the GT-R, check out our original post on the 2015 vintage.
Interestingly, the destination charge for the 2015 GT-R has climbed dramatically, from 2014's $1,000 to $1,595 for the latest car. We've reached out to Nissan to see why there was such a big increase, and will update as soon as we have an update.
'Qashqai' so hard to pronounce even Nissan is poking fun at it
Mon, 14 Apr 2014In the US, there aren't a lot of vehicle names that are very difficult to pronounce. Maybe the Volkswagen Touareg might trip up a few people, but by and large, we've got it pretty easy. Our friends in Europe, though, have a bigger challenge, thanks to vehicles like the Nissan Qashqai. Yes, Qashqai.
Like the Touareg, the Qashqai draws its name from a nomadic people. While Nissan isn't making up words, then, it's still not an easy name to pronounce. Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson routinely calls it a kumquat, for example. According to Nissan, though, it's pronounced "Cash'kai".
To get its point across as the second-gen Qashqai, the close cousin of the US market Rogue, prepares to launch in Australia, Nissan set up a little event at a coffee shop. Customers would place their orders, only to have the spelling of their names butchered rather badly. On the other side of the cup, there's a message from Nissan and the Qashqai.
