Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Failed Smog test. Probably because of one side of the engine having cylinders with low compression. Damaged front bumper, missing air intake cover. Dented front upper frame, and dented hood.Interior: Broken driver's side seat.Additional: Broken Antenna."

My Promise: When I originally got this car I got ripped off by a used car dealership. The engine had major oil leaks and broke down within a year. I won't lie or deceive anyone about the condition of the car. That being said, I wouldn't recommend this car to anyone that doesn't know about cars (i.e. this shouldn't be your first car). It's a beautiful car that must be worked on. You should be comfortable with more than just brake changes and tune ups. I can provide you via email a copy of the car manual if you don't have it yet.

Important information: The car did not pass smog test. A friend that studied mechanics performed a compression test on all six cylinders and determined that one of the the cylinders had low compression. Everything else works well. Good thread and quality tires. Good maintenance given to car. K&N Filters, new spark plugs,etc. Changed the front rotors and all brake pads 2 years ago.

Engine: The original engine was replaced at 189,000 miles for an imported engine. The timing belt, front and rear crankshaft seals were replaced. The old intake manifold was used (new gasket used of course) to comply with US smog specs. The clutch disk was also replaced.  The battery is also relatively new and the lower clutch cylinder was replaced because it was leaking.

Interior: Usual wear and tear but the driver's side seat tilts a little too much (the frame is broken. I took it to get it welded but they said they couldn't do it due to the location of the break). There is a tear on the driver's side door plastic. There is also significant wear on the shift stick cover and the steering wheel. The cloth seats have no tears.

About the exterior:The car has a damaged front bumper that will need replacement. The cover protecting the dual air intake is missing. The hood has some dents. The front part of the frame of the car some damage from when I hit a truck at 15 miles an hour. The truck had no scratches, but the Z needed the front sustained damage to front frame (showed in pictures). Besides that the rest of the car has scratches here and there but no major damage. The radio antenna is broken (dumb carwash!).

Reason for selling: My new job is 50+ miles away, I need an economy car or a Tesla.

The best thing about this car: I've never raced but I did once on my younger days take this car at 140+ without a problem. At 222 hp and 198 ft lb of torque it has the power to accelerate quickly and go through hills without a problem. The tires and hard suspension means you can go 80+ and have good solid control (unlike the tiny honda I drive now). It also features 4 wheel disc brakes and an advanced coil ignition for its time.

The worst about this car: The car has a lot of small tubes (vacuum) that will make it hard to put back together if you remove the intake manifold.

Pricing: Keep in mind that on KBB.com the "Fair" condition is $3620 and the "Good" condition is $4320. It would be fair to say that this car falls somewhere in between.

Some NY cabs could avoid hybrid ban

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The Nissan NV200 is having a rough go of it as New York City's Taxi of Tomorrow. The Greater New York Taxi Association wants the van banned on the grounds that it isn't a hybrid, and has gone so far as to sue the city to keep the NV200 out of taxi fleets. According to The New York Times, the city has responded by proposing to allow taxi drivers to use certain hybrid vehicles. The Taxi and Limousine Commission's proposal would allow any vehicle with an interior volume of 138 cubic feet or more. Unfortunately, that excludes nearly every machine that isn't the size of the NV200.
Technically, Nissan is working on a hybrid version of the Taxi of Tomorrow, but it may be years before that model hits the streets, and the Greater New York Taxi Association isn't satisfied with the city's offer. In a statement, the Association said, "These rules look like they have been created to short-circuit the litigation. We do not consider this to be a serious proposal."

Renault's planned luxury sub-brand gets reconsidered

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

Renault believes there's enough Alpine love to restart that brand with its own model almost immediately. The launch of the Initiale Paris luxury brand it's been mulling, on the other hand, will be more restrained: a report in Autocar says that instead of launching with a first model based on the Mercedes E-Class architecture, Renault is going to introduce an Initiale Paris trim line on the new Clio and Espace. More accurately, that should be 're-introduce and aggressively market,' since Renault has used an Initiale Paris trim over the years since it introduced the concept car (pictured) in 1995, even as recently as the current-generation Laguna Coupe.
Other models will be added after the Clio and Espace, and when Renault can assess what kind of future the trim has, it will decide on the launch of a subsidiary brand. Company CEO Carlos Tavares said we shouldn't hang around waiting for a decision, though, declaring that establishing such a brand - if it even comes to that - "will be a job for at least my successor to worry about, not me."

Porsche 911 GT3 dukes it out with MP4-12C on track and GT-R on spectacular roads

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

The Porsche 911 GT3 has always been a favorite among auto journalists and car enthusiasts alike, but with the introduction of the new 991-generation GT3, which is the first GT3 with electric power steering and no manual gearbox option, how does it stack up to the competition from McLaren and Nissan?
Evo's Jethro Bovingdon attempts to answer that question by pitting the rear-engine Porsche against the mid-engine McLaren MP4-12C on a racetrack and the front-engine, all-wheel-drive Nissan GT-R on some amazing, twisty European back roads. We won't give away the victor of either comparison, but we will say that, in Evo's test, the McLaren's 141-horsepower advantage doesn't give it as much of an edge over the Porsche on a racetrack as one might think, and the lack of a manual gearbox and the inclusion of electric power steering on the GT3 isn't detrimental to enjoying the car on a back road.
Watch the video below to find out which car Bovingdon prefers on road and track - we think you'll be happy to see him drift around turns every chance he gets.
