1994 Nissan 300zx N/a 5-spd - *** Flood Damaged *** on 2040-cars

Brick, New Jersey, United States

This auction is for a 1994 Nissan 300zx with a normally-aspirated engine and a five speed manual transmission that was FLOODED during Superstorm Sandy.  This vehicle is NOT in running condition and is being sold strictly As-Is for parts or restoration.  Originally, I was going to have the car repaired, but I do not have the time for another project.  This is the second time I am offering this vehicle on Ebay.  Unfortunately, the original winner, who was from Canada, had some difficulties dealing with Customs and the deal was never completed.  The vehicle has not been re-registered since the flood, but I have the title in hand.  Please note...The vehicle report will show a discrepancy in the mileage because, at some point during a registration, somebody accidentally transposed two numbers; the vehicle has 67,214 original miles.

Prior to the storm, this was an all-original, low mileage, garage-kept vehicle in excellent mechanical condition.  The car was in my garage during the storm and, as a result of flooding, it sat in approximately thirty inches of water for several hours.  When the water receded, we pushed it out of the garage and parked it in my driveway where it was rinsed off and then dried out; this is still where it sits today.  No attempt has ever been made to start the car because I would not want to risk damaging the engine until all of the fluids had been replaced just in case any of them were contaminated.  The battery is dead, but I did charge it once to see if any of the electronics functioned.  Even with a full charge, nothing worked.

I only encourage bidders with the mechanical skills to take on such a project.  If you decide to e-mail me any questions, please understand I am not a mechanic and no mechanic has ever looked at the car, so I do not know if and/or exactly what would need to be done to the car to get it back up and running.  The photos of the vehicle show its current condition; they are not photos taken prior to the flood.

Nissan Leaf has 2nd-best sales month ever, Chevy Volt does a 2013 repeat [UPDATE]

Tue, Apr 1 2014

UPDATE: The official press release says that "Volt [sales were] up 7 percent," but Randy Fox let AutoblogGreen know that this is simply due to a change in the fleet/retail mix between March 2013 and 2014. The actual number sold was exactly the same in the two months. A month ago, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said he expected to see the Leaf's sales momentum continue into March. It wasn't a big leap, since January and February were slow sales months in 2013 (around 640 each) before a big climb to 2,200 in March. In 2014, the first two months of the year were better (around 1,300 each) but Nissan can still be happy that the Leaf just had the best March ever and its second-highest sales month ever, with 2,507 sold. That's a 12.1 percent increase from 2013 and Perry said in a statement to AutoblogGreen that one reason is all of the buyers who are becoming evangelists for the vehicle. "We've also seen an increase in showroom traffic as we enhanced our marketing presence in March," he said. Nissan pointed to cities like Washington, DC, Raleigh-Durham, NC and urban areas in Texas as strong Leaf markets last month. On the Chevy Volt front, January and February were also slow months in 2014, down roughly half from the 2,000-ish the plug-in hybrid was selling at the end of 2013. For 2014, sales were up slightly from the first two months of the year and Chevy spokesman Randy Fox told AutoblogGreen that the March number was "pretty flat, year-over-year." Even with that warning, we were surprised to see the total come in at 1,478. Why's that? Because the total for March 2013 was ... 1,478. So, yeah, that's pretty steady even if there were 26 selling days in March period this year compared to 27 last year. As always, our more complete report of last month's green car sales will be coming soon. News Source: General Motors, Nissan Green Chevrolet GM Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales

2014 Nissan 370Z Nismo

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Michigan is one of those places where we can sub-divide the seasons into good and bad portions, with each producing a noticeable shift. The week prior to my time in the 2014 Nissan 370Z Nismo, it was 65 to 70 degrees and sunny, all week long. Anyone care to guess what the following week was like?
Windy, cold and damp weather typified my week in the Z, with temps hovering around 55 degrees and several days of showers. Yes, I got the first week of the bad part of fall. The Z was hardly happy during its time with me, but we both persevered, and I made a point of sprinting out to the garage anytime the ground seemed remotely dry enough to test this striking two-seater. That enthusiasm waned quickly, though, as the week wore on.
By all accounts, the Z is a car that I should like. It's an uncompromising sports car, but as I discovered during my travels, sometimes a little compromise is welcome, and living with a car like the Z - particularly the angrier, Nismo-tuned model - quickly becomes a case of too much of a good thing.

2014 Nissan Rogue earns IIHS Top Safety Pick+ [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

The 2014 Nissan Rogue has scored a Top Safety Pick+ award following positive crash test results by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The new crossover scored good results (the highest rating) in the group's five crashworthiness checks and a basic rating for front crash prevention.
The IIHS found that the Rogue also performed well in its small overlap front test with a low risk of injuries, and the driver's space maintained its structure well. It was an improvement over the previous generation, which received a marginal rating in that evaluation. The Rogue's optional forward collision warning system was enough for a basic rating in avoiding accidents.
To qualify as a Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn good ratings in the the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint evaluations, plus a good or acceptable result in the small overlap front test. To receive the additional Plus rating in 2014, it must also have a basic, advanced or superior rating for front crash prevention. The IIHS scores vehicles as good, acceptable, marginal or poor, and avoidance systems are scored basic, advanced or superior, depending on the type of system and its performance. Scroll down to watch the videos of the small and moderate overlap crash tests and read the full IIHS statement.
