This is not your average low mileage 300 ZX. It is in excellent condition with 72,000 original miles, which has been meticulously maintained,garage kept, and covered.  All service done to this vehicle since purchased brand new was done at a NISSAN dealership and all paper receipts convey.   It is a non smoker car and still has new car smell!  This truly is an unmolested all original 1991 300ZX with the only modification being an upgraded stereo system, wiring system, and dynamat throughout.  Replaced Crank Sensor 3 years ago.

As evidenced by the original Window Sticker, this 1991 300ZX 2+2 COUPE came finished in color (326) Super White on Charcoal Leather. Features included: 3.0 Liter 24 Valve 222 HP V-6 engine; 5 Speed Manual Transmission; Speed-Sensitive Power Steering; 4 Wheel Vented Power Disc Brakes; Anti-Lock Braking System; 4-WHL Independent multi-link suspension dual exhaust system; T-Bar Roof with Glass Panels;  Integrated Fog Lights; Rear Window Wiper/Washer; Power Adjustable Driver's Seat; Automatic Temp Control System; Power Remote Heated Mirrors; Power Windows; Power Door Locks; Theft Deterrent System;  Automatic Power Antenna; Leather Package including Leather Seating Surfaces, leather wrapped Steering Wheel, leather shifter knob, and leather handbrake; Tachometer/Oil Pressure/Temperature Gauge Package. 

Options on this Z include: Leather Package-Leather Seating Surfaces, Power Driver's Seat & Driver's Side Airbag. The total sticker on this loaded 300ZX 2+2  was $33,570.00. 

This car has an all JL Audio sound system including an Alpine CDA-9855 head unit (with remote control), a pair of XR650-CSi speakers in the front doors, a pair of XR650CXi in the rear, and a set of JL tweeters.  It also has a Stealth Box subwoofer with a 500/5 amp powering the whole system mounted inside a custom enclosre in the spare tire well.  It includes a powered IPOD connection in the center console (IPOD NOT INCLUDED).  The car has DYNAMAT installed throughout as well as upgraded speaker wiring.  The cost of this installation was well over $5000. 

A VIPER 2-way Responder security system has been installed.  The display on the remote confirms all commands - virtually instantly - with easy to understand icons and text.  It has a second regular remote as well.

Used as a  weekend driver, this 300ZX has been driven an average of 3,130 miles per year since it was brought home from dealer in 1991. 

Stored in a garage covered, this Z looks just as good as it did the first day! All trim, moldings and details are in factory condition. All body panels are original, and the original white paint is in great condition.   All of the glass, lenses, lamps and bezels are original, and in new condition.  The rock guard below the trim line has been repainted due to a yellowing discoloration.  The car windows have been tinted to protect the interior.

All four original 16" aluminum alloy wheels with no road rash. 

The engine compartment is 100% original except for the battery.  The car comes with the original spare tire, jack & tool set, and headlight aiming kit. The spare tire and headlight aiming kit were removed to allow for a stealth stereo installation.

The charcoal leather interior is absolutely stunning, with no rips or tears. The seats, door panels, carpeting and dash are all in perfect condition.  The car also includes 2 sets of floor mats!  One is the set of 4 original OEM Nissan floor mats with Z logo as well as 4 brand new OEM in the box floor mats.  The car cover is in great condition (interior use only).  It is a Evolution 4 (technalon material) purchased from Covercraft and includes a storage bag and lock.

In short, this is an extremely desirable, investment grade collector quality 300ZX and it speaks for itself. As you may know, finding a low mileage unmolested 300ZX is getting harder with each passing year, and the generation that loves these cars would identify this Z as a perfect piece for their collection.  This is a fine example of an early unmodified 90s 300Z car, with all the right stuff. 

Please note that there is a blemish on the left quarter panel in front of the fuel filler door that has been touched up with Nissan touch up paint as well as a slight indentation behind the drivers door.  Both are quite small and almost unnoticeable.  The car was also involved in a minor accident in which it spun out on gravel into curbing damaging the left rear wheel.  The wheel was reconditioned and the lower suspension arm was replaced.  None of the body trim was affected, and we have pictures of the vehicle prior to being repaired.  Also, the timing belt has been replaced twice, but is recommended for another replacement due to age (not mileage).  Despite this you will not be disappointed for a car that is 23 years old. 


Included with the sale are the following:

*Original Window Sticker

*3 original keys (Titanium, Black Spare, Red Valet)

*HeatShield brand Solar Window Shade

*Evolution 4 Car Cover

*Original Owners Manual, 2 brochures (1992 and 1994)

Automakers' sound systems: Crank it, don't yank it

Thu, Jun 21 2018

Years ago, one of the first things most music lovers did after buying a new vehicle was drive to an aftermarket stereo shop to get the crappy stock components swapped for better gear. And you'd typically get not only better sound but also more bang (and boom) for your buck. But in the past decade or so, the overall quality of OEM audio has dramatically increased, while car electronics became more complex, removing the incentive for most new vehicle owners — and all but the most hardcore DIYer — to start from scratch. In 2010, I did a comparison of the average costs for OEM electronics vs. similar offerings from the aftermarket, and back then automakers' stock premium systems were by far the best bargain — and are probably an even better value now. The premium 14-speaker, 1,200-watt JBL system in the all-new 2019 Toyota Avalon is a prime example of this trend. It's standard on the top two Limited and Touring trims and is available as a $680 audio upgrade on the XLE and XSE. I doubt you can even buy 14 speakers and 1,200 watts of amplification from the aftermarket for 700 bucks, much less have it all installed. And because the system is bundled with Toyota's Entune infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and a surround-view camera, removing the head unit means you would likely lose these features. Another advantage of OEMs and their audio partners is they can design the car around the audio system. In the past, automakers would typically place speakers where convenient for packaging, not for optimal sound reproduction, and audio engineers were forced to compromise. But as with the Avalon's premium JBL audio system, this is starting to change. At a recent behind-the-scenes peek for media into the process of developing the system, Toyota and Harman engineers delved into the minutia of sealing the inner panel of the front doors to create an enclosure for 6x8-inch woofers, making space in the pillars for JBL horn tweeters and extensively measuring the acoustic properties of the interior to tune the sound to the space. I'm met some creative and skilled car stereo installers, but none with a degree in psychoacoustics. The system is also the first to feature Quantum Logic Surround that creates a multi-channel listening experience from two-channel sources. And it includes Harman's Clari-Fi processing that "rebuilds key details lost" in compressed audio formats used by streaming music services and MP3s.

Nissan sells 3,117 Leaf EVs in May, climbs over 3,000 for first time ever

Tue, Jun 3 2014

Chalk up a big win for the Nissan Leaf. In May, the world's most popular electric vehicle sold a record 3,117 units, the first time any pure electric vehicle has sold over 3,000 units in a month in the US (unless Tesla managed that feat but rolled the number into a quarterly report). This marks the 15th month in a row of record Leaf sales and the seventh where the Leaf was the top EV seller in the US. The challenge bar is set for someone to step up to compete with this all-electric wunderkind. Chevrolet did sell over 3,000 Volts once, in August 2013. The Leaf's one long-standing competitor, of a sort, is the Chevy Volt, which used to regularly outsell the Leaf but moved only 1,684 units in May. That's still an increase of 4.8 percent over 2013 but is part of a 4.5 percent decline in year-to-date Volt sales for 2014 compared to last year. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was October 2013. Chevrolet did sell over 3,000 Volts once, when it moved 3,351 in August 2013. Let's take another look at those 3,117 Leafs sold last month. They represent a 45.8 percent increase over May 2013, when 2,138 Leaf EVs were sold, so someone is doing something right in Japan and Tennessee. So far, Leaf sales in the US are up 36.4 percent year-to-date, to 10,389 EVs. That's just under half of the 2013 total, and it was accomplished in five months. In 2013, Nissan sold a total of 22,610 Leafs. Anyone want to hazard a guess where the total will be at the end of the year? As always, we'll have our detailed monthly sales write-up including other plug-in vehicles as well as hybrids and diesel car, up soon. For now, though, the big news is big Leaf sales. Read Nissan's press release below. Nissan Group reports May 2014 U.S. sales May 2014 May 2013 % Change Nissan Group Total sales (units) 135,934 114,457 +18.8 Nissan Division May sales 125,558 106,558 +17.8 Infiniti May sales* 10,376 7,899 +31.4 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nissan Group today announced total U.S. sales for May 2014 of 135,934 units, an increase of 18.8 percent over the prior year and a May record. Nissan highlights: Nissan Division set a May record at 125,558 sales in the month, an increase of 17.8 percent. This marks a monthly record for Nissan division in 14 of the last 15 months. May was the best-ever month for Nissan LEAF with 3,117 sales, an increase of 45.8 percent over the prior year. In May, LEAF passed 50,000 total U.S. sales since launch, further establishing it as the leader among electric vehicles.

2013 Nissan NV200 hauls itself into McCormick Place

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Nissan has already announced that its NV200 will be New York City's Taxi of Tomorrow, but now small businesses can also take advantage of the compact commercial van when it goes on sale this April. Unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show, the Nissan NV200 bound for North America has been stretched by almost eight inches compared to the same van that has been on sale in other global markets since 2009. The 2013 Nissan NV200 will be built in Cuernavaca, Mexico and sold at select Nissan dealerships with a starting price of $19,990 (*excluding the $845 destination charge).
At that price, the NV200 costs thousands less than lead competitors like the Ford Transit Connect and the Ram C/V Tradesman, although it does deliver less cargo volume than both as well. Despite its longer body, the NV200's 122.7 cubic feet of volume comes in just under the 129.6 cu-ft for the Ford and well under the Ram's 155.5 cu-ft cargo capacity. The split rear doors and dual side sliding side doors will give plenty of access to the NV200's cargo area, however, and Nissan says the van is wide enough to accommodate a standard pallet.
The NV200 was designed as much to be a mobile office as it is a hauler, so Nissan made the cabin as such. The passenger seat back can fold down creating a flat space for a laptop, and the center console has been specifically designed for hanging file folders. The base NV200S includes power windows, a two-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system and a 12-volt power outlet, while the NV200 SV (starting at $20,980) adds features such as cruise control, six floor-mounted cargo tie downs, power mirrors and door locks and remote keyless entry. Options include the $950 Technology Package (available on SV only and adds navigation, backup camera and satellite radio), $250 for Bluetooth and $190 for glass added to the rear cargo doors.
