Tucson, Arizona, United States
1978 Datsun 280ZX Coupe Up for auction a nice clean unmolested 280ZX The car shows 71k on it and has really 1 original owner since 78-2012. The original owner kept pretty good records too that come with car. And its a nice original un restored Z. Which with a little interior work, would be a great car. Paint is original Az faded, but for a driver, its fine. The cars been a 2nd car for most of its life which explains the low miles which we think are original . Being an AZ CAR, expect little to NO RUST on or near the body etc. The chrome on both bumpers is in amazing shape. No pitting or rust - and they are straight on. Check out our feedback - feel comfortable buying from someone like us with GREAT large pics in our ads and GREAT FEEDBACK. Ive been driving the car around now for the last week almost daily and it has plenty of power, starts and runs great every time and is a blast to drive. Some things I know the car needs: Hi/low beam headlight switch not working / small dent LF fender / boot around the shifter torn or missing, you get alot of heat from the motor up thru there when driving. / and once in a while I hear a small rattle by the motor. Sounds like either maybe an alternator bearing or water pump ? I hear it from time to time, but havent pinned down whats making the noise. DRIVETRAIN: Original S30 L4 runs great with plenty of power in every gear. ALL stock - un molested just the way Nissan built it. Trans and clutch feel good too. INTERIOR: Showing it age from the Az sun over a 30 yr span but fine for a daily driver and would restore easily enough in a weekend. Headliner gone, dash cracked (cheap cover on it currently) seats and door panels showing wear. But again, this is all cosmetic and you could drive the car like this for more yrs if you wanted to. Glass is good, but the inside glass needs a good cleaning. Think it had window tint on it that was removed yrs ago. AC all connected and worked last summer, but now it is blowing cool, not cold. Unless Im not using the controls correctly. SUSPENSION: All stock original down to the OE alloy rims Feels good, but Im sure it will need some bushings if you looked hard. But no weird noises , but I the shocks are old and mushy. Tires decent, but nothing special. (We also are a tire dealer, so if you want a new set of tires installed on the car before taking delivery, let us know what you want and we can price it out for you, installed.) BODY: Really nice shape for its age. A few small dents and dings here and there, but some are so small they are hard to see in the pics. Air damn is in good shape, where most are torn or ripped off. Trunk struts work well. overall, this is a great Driver as is or would be an easy car to restore back to original.

China's largest dealer body pushes back against foreign automakers over huge inventories
Mon, Jan 5 2015Do not think for a second that automakers forcing inventory on dealers in order to pad the numbers is a ruse known only in the US. Stories of individual brands have hinted at the trouble Chinese dealerships are having trying to move units as the country's economic growth remains hot but comes off the boil, like the one revealing that 95 percent of Toyota-FAW showrooms are losing money. Yet Toyota isn't the only culprit, and the issue has become so dire that the China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA), the largest dealer body in the country, has written to the government to complain. Chinese car sales are expected to close out the year with an annualized growth of six-percent, down from last year's 14 percent when targets were set, while in the background the pace of overall economic expansion is the slowest its been since the early nineties. Automakers, shipping cars on schedule to make their earlier targets, have blown up inventories such that they are an average of 1.8 times monthly sales, when the preferred multiplier is from 0.9 to 1.2. According to the CADA, the price wars and necessary incentives mean that only 30 percent of dealers are operating in the black. That number is down a whopping forty percent since 2010. In response, Toyota has already said it will not make its 2014 target of 1.1 million cars sold. We're a long way from 2012, when Toyota planned on selling 1.8 million cars in China in 2015, a target that's now as realistic as a manticore. BMW, Honda and Nissan have erased numbers on their spreadsheets, too; BMW growth dropped from 20 percent to 8 percent midyear after it began "reducing wholesale supplies," and Honda has been reworking its plans as sales have decreased each of the past six months. It's a big deal for Chinese dealers to begin protesting publicly, the CADA saying, "In the past, dealers were angry, but dared not speak out. But now, they have to shout because the situation is getting so unbearable." With six-percent growth forecast for next year and dealers unwilling to remain underwater, The Year of the Sheep coming in 2015 could portend meaning beyond the zodiac.

'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.
