For auction is my 2005 Nissan 350z Touring Roadster with 52,100 miles as of the date this is being listed. The color is black with the factory option of burnt orange leather seats with black mesh inserts. I am the second owner of this vehicle and bought it from a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Nissan dealer in early 2007 as a Nissan Certified Used Vehicle along with a 5 year bumper to bumper extended warranty (expired in November 2012). I live in Michigan now, and have a clear title and own the car outright. 

At the time of my purchase, the Z had about 20,677 miles or so on the odometer. I have babied this car since the day I bought it, always keeping it in the garage and being sure to have the oil and filter changed every 3500-4000 miles either by the Nissan dealer or by me personally. I am now reluctantly selling it only because I am moving out of state soon and I have too many toys, so I have to downsize a bit. 

I am very honest in my Ebay listings and below detail everything I know about the car during my ownership, and what I know of its history before I bought the car.

CONDITION 
As the pictures show, the car is in excellent shape. The engine is perfect and completely stock except for a Jim Wolf Technology (JWT) conical air filter that adds a few more horses and gives the Z a great intake growl. This can easily be swapped back to stock in about 15 minutes. I have the OEM air box and filter which will be sold with the car. 

Oil and filter changes were done by Nissan, or by me personally every 3500 to 4000 miles. 

There are no mechanical or electrical issues with this car. Everything runs and works exactly as it should. The clutch and gear shifter is original and flawless, and I just added 4 new tires about 800 miles ago. Anything that went wrong with the car was immediately rectified under my extended warranty. In 2010 I had a new thermostat put in under warranty. Prior to that, I had a new clutch slave cylinder put in under warranty. That is about it for any mechanical items that required warranty work. 

I installed a brand heavy duty battery about 4 months ago. 

The paint and body is in great shape. I am meticulous about my cars and have had the entire front bumper professionally surfaced and painted in late 2012 due to some small rock chips on the paint from the highway, and that were bothering me. In 2011, someone in a parking lot scraped the rear bumper. I had the entire back bumper professionally repainted rather than live with the scrape.  Presently the only paint items existing are typical scratches from road use which any car with 50,000 miles will have. On the drivers side I had to due some very small touch ups due to three scratches from a parking lot likely. On the passenger side there is a very tiny ding that is barely noticeable unless you catch it in the right light and the right angle. It is really nothing more than most cars get in parking lots, which is likely what happened. On the front hood there are a few typical tiny rock chips from highway pebbles and such. Just what you would expect to see on a car with 50,000 miles or so. I tried to take pictures but could not get these things to show up in photos. That is it for any known paint and body items. 

The convertible top is in excellent condition. It is not faded, and has no rips or tears. The rear glass window is perfect and the defogger works as it should. The power retractable top works perfectly as it should. 

The car does not know what rust is. It also doesn't know what snow looks like. 

Tires as stated are 4 brand new Kumho Ecsta ASX in the OEM sizes 225/45 18 (Fronts) and 245/45 18 (Rears). I had new front brakes put on the car about two years ago and there is plenty of pad left. The rears also have plenty of pad left. The rims are OEM 18". The fronts and one rear do have some very slight curb rash which is typical and not very noticeable unless you really look up close. 

The interior trim, carpets and seats are all like new and in excellent shape, and the leather is great shape as well. No cracks or splits, etc. Power windows, locks and all other electrical functions perfectly as they should. 

All in all, I can confidently and fairly rate this car as strongly between "very good" to "excellent" by Kelly Blue Book standards. In the interest of selling the car quickly, I have a starting bid (with no reserve) well below Blue Book private party sale value for that condition range of $19,458 to $19,908 which is what you can expect a dealer to ask for the same car.

VEHICLE HISTORY 
As stated, I bought the car in early 2007 from a Nissan Dealer, and it was sold as a Nissan Certified Used Vehicle, passing Nissan's rigorous certification process and included a 5 year bumper to bumper warranty that just expired in November 2012. 

The title is clear, and has never been a salvage title or such thing. I now own this car outright and hold the title as I paid off the loan recently. 

There have been no traffic accidents while I owned the car other than minor and expected scrapes/dings from parking lots or rock chips from the highway (mentioned above), where I had both the front and rear bumper professional re-finished and repainted simply because these things bothered me from a cosmetic perspective.  

I am aware only from Carfax that the prior owner in 2006 reported a minor accident of some sort in NY. Nissan has checked the car out from top to bottom and certified it when sold to me. Further, there is no indication of frame damage or anything else significant and I have had no issues in the 6 years I have owned this car. I suspect the 2006 damage was purely cosmetic, although I cannot tell from the carfax what was damaged, and I never have been able to tell by looking at the car since the paint and body is, and has always been in such great condition. That is the extent of my knowledge about the car's prior history and I mention this to try to be as honest as I can about my knowledge of the car.

SHIPPING AND PAYMENT 
To protect everyone involved, I will not release the car or sign over the title until I receive full payment in the form of a cashier's or certified check from a bank and that check is cashed at the bank. I would like a $250 deposit from the winning bidder via paypal to be applied against the balance due on the car. 

The winning bidder is responsible for shipping. I am willing to work with the buyer in order to deliver the car to a shipper, etc within a reasonable distance from my house.

Nissan e-NV200 EV charges into Tokyo

Fri, 22 Nov 2013

Nissan has already shown its e-NV200 in Detroit and Frankfurt in conceptual form, now its home market is getting an up-close look at the production all-electric compact van at the Tokyo Motor Show. While it doesn't sound like the e-NV200 will be making its way to the US anytime soon, it will go on sale on sale in Europe in the middle of next year and in Japan by early 2015.
The electric NV200 will be built in Barcelona, Spain, and while that EV-minded city has committed to using the van for public transportation, Nissan's hometown of Yokohama, Japan will also put the zero-emission vehicle to work in its public services fleet. Nissan has yet to reveal the production specs for the e-NV200 - including range - we do know that it will share much of its drivetrain with smaller Nissan Leaf. Check out the press release posted below for more information about the e-NV200 and Nissan's EV efforts in Yokohama.

Nissan Leaf becomes least expensive 5-seat EV with massive price drop

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

In a roundtable interview today at the North American International Auto Show, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn announced a $6,400 price drop for the base-model 2013 Nissan Leaf. Last year's base model was $35,200, while the new base-level 2013 Leaf S starts at $28,800. Ghosn says the new prices make the Leaf the least expensive five-seater electric for sale in the US.
Some of the lower cost is due to a difference in content from last year's low-end model to this year's. But a sizable portion can be chalked up to the Leaf's production moving from Japan to Tennessee. The 2013 Leaf is not only assembled in the US now, but its lithium-ion batteries and the car's electric motors are manufactured in the same southern state.
The Leaf SV will be priced from $31,820 for 2013 compared to $35,200 last year. The high-end Leaf SL now starts at $34,840, down from the 2012 model's $37,250. These models also have differences in content. One big one is a new 6.6-kWh charger that reduces charging times pretty dramatically.
