You are looking at a 2005 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE with a 5-speed manual transmission. As some of you may know, it is not easy to find a manual tranny mated to the 3.5 engine. I chose this Altima because with this drivetrain it has similar performance to the G35 and 350Z (engine is slightly detuned but Altima makes up for it by being lighter and FWD). The metallic silver paint and sport wheels make it look a lot more upscale than regular Altimas.

I bought this car about a year ago after searching for a manual 3.5 for months. My plan was to modify it but life got in the way and my hot-rod days were put on hold., Selling because I bought another car more suitable for my job.

THE GOOD:
- Strong engine and transmission. Engines runs super smooth and tranny shifts almost perfectly.
- Clean title.
- Oil changes done frequently during the time I've owned it (and had some records from previous owner when I bought it). I use synthetics for engine and transmission lubricants.
- No check-engine, ABS, maintenance, or airbag lights on.
- Cold A/C
- New clutch slave and master cylinders.
- Brand spanking new tires, less than 800 miles on them, plus recent alignment.
- Pioneer stereo with Ipod connection
- Clean interiors with minimal wear, no rips or tears on the upholstery.
- 17" OEM sport wheels
- Power mirrors, one-touch power windows, power locks, keyless entry, power brakes & steering, cruise control, automatic headlights.
- Extremely reliable! Starts every morning, has never left me stranded.

THE BAD:
- Some dings and dents along the sides.
- Front bumper could use a respray.
- Sometimes makes some valve noise when cold. This only happens sometimes, and the noise goes away after it warms up for a few minutes. Otherwise, the engine runs very smoothly (sometimes at stoplights I don't even feel it running). I've done some searching and this is a common thing with Nissan engines and is not a major problem.
- Driver seat backrest does not move. The good news is that it's the switch and not the motor. I wired the wires directly to the seat and put the backrest where I felt comfortable and forgot all about it until now when I was writing this ad. A switch could be wired and used if desired. All other switch functions (forward/reverse, up/down, etc) work fine.
- Radio controls on steering wheels are not operational because of aftermarket radio. Factory radio can be installed back in (no factory wires were cut) or a steering wheel control adapter can be bought and easily installed.

That's it! Nothing much really. Most of these are typical issues of used cars and most seller don't even mention them but I just want to be as thoroughly as possible in my description so there are no surprises later.

Renault's push for more affordable EVs has global implications

Tue, Oct 2 2018

The Renault K-ZE is a small electric car that signals a big change in how the French automaker plans on bringing electric vehicles to the masses. Set to go on sale in China beginning in 2019, the K-ZE is meant to have the design of a sport-utility vehicle, but it's on a supermini-sized frame. While it's set to arrive in Europe by 2021, this petite EV could eventually impact electric sales here in the U.S., too. That's because Nissan, maker of the Leaf EV, is part of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, a three-pronged automaker with a huge global presence. In China, however, the Renault brand has been absent from the country's booming market for electric vehicles — driven in large part by government mandates to combat air pollution by promoting cleaner, zero-emission cars and trucks in cities. Speaking ahead of the K-ZE's debut this week at the 2018 Paris Motor Show, Carlos Ghosn, the chairman and CEO of Group Renault, stated the company "was a pioneer and is the European leader in electric vehicles." To this, he added the K-ZE is meant to have global reach and bring costs down for the consumer. "We are introducing Renault K-ZE, an affordable, urban, SUV-inspired electric model combining the best of Groupe Renault: our leadership in EV, our expertise in affordable vehicles and in forging strong partnerships," said Ghosn. In China, the K-ZE will be manufactured as part of a joint partnership in cooperation with Renault, Nissan and the Chinese automobile firm Dongfeng Motor Group. The range of the K-ZE is expected to be about 150 miles per charge, or roughly the current range in the 2018 Leaf EV. Except the K-ZE is almost three feet shorter than the Leaf, which means Renault is getting a lot more range from a smaller and lighter amount of batteries. While a car this size would be too small for the U.S. market, the technology beneath this teeny hatchback/SUV is certain to make an appearance here in the years ahead. At the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, Nissan provided a hint of its future European EV plans, courtesy of the IMx Kuro Concept. This edgy-looking electric crossover is a good indication as to the design direction of Nissan's next range of electric crossovers and SUVs over the next 3-5 years — look for the design and tech to similarly migrate stateside.

Nissan working on bringing bizarro BladeGlider to dealerships?

Thu, 09 Jan 2014

It's a rare thing for pie-in-the-sky concepts to make production relatively unmolested. Edges are usually softened, mirrors made bigger and wheels shrunken into something that will be less backbreaking and easier to see out of on public roads. And while the essence of many concepts can still find their way into production, the wackier parts found in their concept forms often end up as nothing more than flights of fancy.
That makes news of the strange Nissan BladeGlider being considered for production rather interesting. You'll recall that the BladeGlider Concept debuted in November at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, featuring a McLaren-esque three-seat V layout, an electric drivetrain and a narrow front track like the DeltaWing and ZEOD RC. Understandably, perhaps, Nissan has been touting it as "reinventing the performance car." Everything about it screamed "concept."
Now comes word from Car in the UK that the car may actually make it to production. Quoting Nissan vice president Andy Palmer, "It's in our mid-term plan." "Our intention is to do it," he says. Now, Palmer has plenty of sway, but this should hardly be taken as an absolute confirmation that the triangle-shaped car would be coming. It is, however, a very promising sign. Palmer evidently sees the BladeGlider as a way to cajole young people into becoming car enthusiasts, which suggests Nissan might try to make it inexpensive. Alternatively, the BladeGlider could form the basis of a small-volume racecar, but it isn't clear what racing organization would have it.

Nissan NV200 Taxi

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

"You're a long way from home!"
When I signed up to drive a pre-production version of the Nissan NV200 Taxi, I expected to have a higher-than-normal level of interaction with the public at large. However, while I was hoping for unsuspecting Ann Arborites to perhaps hail me down, or maybe even get a hop-in when stopped at an intersection, I didn't really think I'd be hassled in parking lots so much. And yet, almost as if all of the Dad-Joke energy in the universe was drawn to my tall, yellow ride, seemingly everywhere I parked I heard some iteration of the phrase above.
Har har, guys.
