This is a Nissan 300zx N/A with a 5-speed, in black. I have owned this car for quite some time now and it is finally time to let her go. This is a great summer/weekend car, or a car ready for some track action if you are into that sort of thing. This car is extremely rare to see in this good of shape. Often they have a significant amount of mileage on them, or they have been tuned to a point where they cannot function properly. This car has been tuned, lightly, mostly the suspension. The car drives like a dream. The reason I got rid of the 300 was because I bought a 350z; but I have to say, the 300zx's handling is far far superior. Its predicable and grippy. It really is an absolute blast to drive

One of the best things about the car is the rarity. You never see the car anymore, and for that reason, it turns heads. People constantly stop and ask about the car, mostly because they have never seen one before, and because it truly is one of the most beautiful cars Nissan and Datsun every made. The body lines are timeless, and unlike other 90's cars, its looks have not gone out of style. With the car comes Nissan 350z Touring wheels, and the original premium alloys. 

The car has 113,555 miles on it and has never seen winter. 


Body:
Overall:
The body is in good shape for its age, however it does have some rust as I do live in New England (Vermont). Again, it has never seen winter, however there is some rust in the undercarriage and in the wheel well of the passenger side. I have had this looked at by a certified master body-technician and he has stated that it is completely treatable. As far as the paint goes, there is some minor hazing in the paint (I'm sure a professional buff can take it out) and some small surface scratches on the doors. The front end of the car has been repainted by the same body-tech.

Goodies:
-Stillen front lip
-Tinted Corners
-350z touring wheels!

Mechanical:

A couple of things that do not work:
E-Brake: This is a insanely common occurrence for this car. You probably won't find a Z with a functioning E-Brake. Many of them rip, and they rarely are replaced. I do, however, have the replacement E-Brake cables which will be included with the car.
Window: The drivers side window was replaced as the car was broken into before I had come to own the car (or may have just broken, I'm not entirely sure, I just know because I found the glass in the carpet). With that being said the window is there, and works, but doesn't work quite right. I've had it looked at half-a-dozen times and no one seems to know how to get it functioning just right.
Air-conditioning: it works; but the freon needs to be replaced. I have not replaced it myself... well, because I just take the T-Tops off. Never really needed it! 

Upgrades/Maintenance:
-Transmission has been replaced, as well as the clutch and flywheel, pilot bushings, and starter have as well
-Wiper Motor has been replaced
-Cooling systems and transmission fluid have been flushed; regularly
-Oil has been changed every 3000 miles; come with spare oil pan; Z's have a soft belly pan and are known to get obliterated on a pothole; luckily this has not happened to me
-Alignments have been done as necessary. 

Goodies
-Injen Cold Air Intake
-Tokico Illumina Shocks
-Eibach Sport Springs, with bump stops
-Stillen Sway Bars
-JWT High Pro Clutch
-Stillen Short Shifter
-Z1 1-Piece aluminum driveshaft
-SPL front upper control arms
-SPL V2 tension rods
-Stainless steel brake lines
-B&B high-flow cat-back exhaust- one of the best exhausts money can buy. It's truly awesome. The link below is my car with the exhaust.

Interior:
Probably the best thing about the car. It's interior really is in great shape. The car comes with its original mats, and it comes with the T-Top leather bags. No rips, tears or stains in the seats, or doors (satin). There is one small burn in the seat. No one has smoked in this car

If you have any questions please feel free to message me. I would give my number but I am a chef and I am at work 90% of the time I am awake. I will get back to you ASAP. Thanks! Happy Bidding!

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.

Nissan Leaf resale value expected to take a hit

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

Nissan Leaf resale values may take a tumble, according to Kelley Blue Book. The vehicle evaluation resource said the 2013 Nissan Leaf will retain around 35 percent of its MSRP after three years; that's down five percent from what KBB gave the 2012 Leaf at the end of 2011. Automotive News reports KBB adjusted the EV's residual value prediction because the used transaction prices for the 2011 model have stuck around 35 percent for the past few months due to relatively cheap gasoline, not to mention the fact that Nissan trimmed the electric's MSRP from $36,050 to $29,650 before the $7,500 tax credit.
Since used buyers are often motivated by more practical buying concerns than early adopters or those wanting to curb their carbon emissions, they may not be willing to pay more for an EV. Meanwhile, early Leaf models are now coming to auction, abandoned by rental car companies after customers shunned them in favor of traditional internal-combustion vehicles. Many of those at auction have less than 10,000 miles and carry an average transaction price of just $13,700.

Nissan Xterra's fate hangs in the balance

Sat, 21 Sep 2013

The Nissan Xterra might not be long for this world, according to a report from Edmunds. The rugged SUV, which has always been a bit more of a hardcore, purpose-built vehicle than the rest of the Nissan SUV range. But it has also suffered from slowing sales, low fuel economy relative to the competition and general neglect, as Nissan has focused on other offerings in its range.
"There are plans to replace it, there are always plans, (but) I am not sure it will happen. I would say in the next six months to a year," Pierre Loing, vice president of product planning for Nissan Americas told Edmunds. Part of the problem, he added, was that the Xterra is a US-only vehicle, which makes it a hard sell in a world where automakers are increasingly depending on global cars.
Besides the economic forces working against the Xterra, it's just a vehicle that hasn't been a huge sales success of late. Customers are more conscious of fuel economy and a body-on-frame SUV that only nets 16 miles per gallon just isn't good enough; arguably why Nissan barely sold 17,000 units last year. We can hold out hope, as the Xterra remains a fun off-roader that we'd hate to see go, but unless Nissan finds a business case or some global partners, this is a vehicle that is on its last leg.
