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.

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.

Carlos Ghosn's new lawyer, 'the Razor,' starts slashing

Wed, Feb 20 2019

TOKYO — Carlos Ghosn's new lawyer took aim at Nissan, prosecutors and courts on Wednesday, dismissing the charges against the ousted chairman as an internal company matter and saying Japan was out of step with international norms by keeping his client in jail. "This should have been dealt with as an internal matter," Junichiro Hironaka, nicknamed the Razor, said at his first press briefing. Ghosn, who was arrested in November over alleged financial misconduct and remains in detention in a Tokyo jail, picked a new team last week with long-time defense attorney Hironaka as a key member to replace Motonari Otsuru, a lawyer who once ran the prosecutor's office investigating him. Hironaka's combative style contrasts with the low-key approach adopted by media-shy Otsuru. Ghosn's switch to an aggressive legal strategy came after his attempts to win bail failed and just before lawyers were due to sit down with prosecutors and judges for the first time to hash out a schedule for pre-trial discovery meetings, where prosecutors will reveal evidence and submit a list of witnesses. Hironaka said he didn't know why Ghosn picked him, but added that Ghosn probably wanted an experienced criminal lawyer as the case moved toward trial. The 73-year-old defense attorney is reputed for winning high profile cases, including the acquittal of a senior lawmaker, Ichiro Ozawa, on financial misconduct charges. He also helped free a senior bureaucrat Atsuko Muraki who was jailed for four months on corruption charges fabricated by prosecutors. Yet, even with greater legal firepower the former Nissan Motor Co boss faces a criminal justice system where only three out of every 100 defendants pleading not guilty are acquitted. Neither does Japan have a plea-deal mechanism that would allow Ghosn to agree to lesser charges for a lighter sentence. "The change in lawyers means a change in style, but the legal strategy will still be the same. I don't think it increases Ghosn's chance of an acquittal," said Masashi Akita, a defense lawyer at Shin-Yu Law Office in Osaka, ahead of Wednesday's comments by Hironaka. Ghosn has lost his perch atop an automotive alliance trio of French carmaker Renault SA and Japanese automakers Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. Attempts to win bail, including an offer to wear a GPS ankle bracelet and hire security guards to stop him trying to tamper with evidence, failed.

Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.
