Was a running vehicle up to brake line broke in Sept 2013. I no longer have a mechanic that will come to my home to repair my vehicles so I needed to upgrade my vehicle to one with a warranty. This vehicle is now for sale, used as-is. This is not a smoke free car."

This is a listing for a 1987 Nissan Maxima.  I am not sure if this is the SE or the GXE model. I have some original paperwork on it but it doesn't state what model it is.  This is a used vehicle, being sold as is.  The car has 121858 miles on it.  Low mileage for a 1987.  I have the title for this car with no lien holders.  Included is the original manuals and warranty book that came with the car.  Also the original receipts for repairs done by the first owner.  These were in the glove compartment and I am not sure if these are complete records from the original owner.  This is a really nice car.  This car deserves to be repaired and/or restored if someone has the capability,  I hate to scrap yard her.

Background:

The vehicle has had two owners: myself and my neighbor until 2012.  The car belonged to my elderly neighbor and she purchased it new.  When she left NYS she sold me her car.  I have had it almost two years.

The Problem:

The car is drivable, but needs work to fix the brake lines and work on the frame.  On Sept 25, 2013 the brake line rusted thru.  It needs to be replaced. In addition, the car failed its last July 2013 inspection.  It failed due to a dent in the unibody construction (right side) and some rust on the frame (left side).  The guy showed me one spot of rust on the frame and the dent that caused the failure of the inspection.  These issues are repairable.  This would be a great car for someone who has the ability to make these repairs themselves, or has the money to spend at an auto body/repair station.  The car also needs more work done on the exhaust system.  I had replaced the muffler on the system about two months ago but exhaust still needs further work.  There is a high pitch noise when the car runs and I have no idea what that is.  The push button for the trunk release/opener needs to be replaced, but trunk can be accessed with the key. 

The Exterior:

The car has a functioning sunroof.  There is rust around the rear fender wells.  The left rear door by the door handle has minor rust.  There is some rust on the left front fender at very bottom and right front fender. The passenger doors have mirror rust.  The right front part of the bumper plastic is cracked.  On the hood there is a scratch, no rust yet.  There is scratches on the roof that are minor.  There are minor scratches on the trunk hood.  There is some rust on the back above the rear brake lights.    The tires are about a year old, and maybe have about 10000 miles on them.

The Interior:

The car has an original security system that works.  It is called a theft warning system in the original paperwork.  The system activates when you set it, even if you leave your windows down.  There is a working AM/FM radio.  There is a cassette.  Not sure if cassette works as I have never tried it.  The stereo has a working graphic equalizer.  The car has working overdrive control switch.  Vanity mirror passenger side.  Spotlights mounted on inside ceiling between sun visors-all working. Interior light needs a bulb.  There is a working luggage compartment light.  There is car interior trunk access making the trunk readily accessible from the rear seat. There are three assist grips...front, rear passenger side and rear driver side.  This is by design.  Working trunk lid, and fuel lid openers in car.  Working tilt steering wheel.  The interior needs to be detailed as it is soiled from use.  There is one button missing out of driver side seat upholstery.  Seats feel like crushed velvet.  The power antenna will not retract.  You can hear it, like it is working, but it does not retract.

Information:

If you win or purchase this car you will have to call me to arrange for a day to pick this vehicle up with a tow truck, or like. I will ebay message you with my phone number. I would like to have the car moved within three days of the winning bid or purchase.  If that is a problem please message me before you bid or purchase the car.    Thank you.

Please read the listing and look at the pictures before you bid or purchase the car.  I have tried to list everything. If you have any questions please ask before bidding or purchasing. I will answer all questions and concerns. This is a used car that needs repaired.

  If you would like to view the car before bidding or purchasing please message me.  Will not end listing for you to come view.  This is a used, as is vehicle that needs work to run and pass NYS inspection.  In the future there may be other problems that could arise that I am unaware of as this is a 1987 vehicle.  I have listed every thing that I know.  

I do not accept returns.  No refunds.  Any questions ask before bidding or purchasing.  Cash, money order, bank check for payment at pick up.  Or PayPal if they allow the amount, no echecks.  Local pick up only please.  

Thank you for your time to look at this listing.

Nissan to enter Formula E in 2018-19 season

Wed, Oct 25 2017

Nissan is to become the first Japanese car manufacturer competing in Formula E with an entry in the fifth season of the electric car racing series, organizers announced on Wednesday. Formula E said in a statement that Nissan would replace one of the existing manufacturers in the 2018-19 season. Media reports have indicated that will be alliance partners Renault, allowing the French manufacturer to focus on its Formula One team. "To have a name like Nissan coming on board is a momentous day for the series," said Formula E chief executive Alejandro Agag in a statement. "It's great to see our first Japanese manufacturer entering the frame, showing truly how global the electric revolution is. Japan is a country at the forefront of new technologies with one of the biggest followings of Formula E." Manufacturers already involved in the electric series include BMW, Audi, Renault, Jaguar, Citroen and India's Mahindra. Mercedes and Porsche are due to arrive for season six, which is scheduled to start in 2019 and end in 2020. Reporting by Alan BaldwinRelated Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

DC fast charging not as damaging to EV batteries as expected

Mon, Mar 17 2014

As convenient as DC fast charging is, there have been lots of warnings that repeated dumping of so many electrons into an electric vehicle's battery pack in such a short time would reduce the battery's life. While everyone agrees that DC fast charging does have some effect on battery life, it may not be as bad as previously expected. Over on SimanaitisSays, Dennis Simanaitis, writes about a recent presentation by Matt Shirk of the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) called DC Fast, Wireless, And Conductive Charging Evaluation Projects (PDF) that describes an ongoing test of four 2012 Nissan Leaf EVs that are being charged in two pairs of two. One pair only recharges from 50-kW DC fast chargers, which the other two sip from 3.3-kW Level 2 chargers exclusively. Otherwise, the cars are operated pretty much the same: climate is automatically set to 72 degrees, are driven on public roads around Phoenix, AZ and have the same set of dedicated drivers is rotated through the four cars. "Degradation depends more on the miles traveled than on the nature of recharging." What's most interesting are the charts on page seven of Shirk's presentation (click the image above to enlarge), which show the energy capacity of each of the four vehicles. When they were new, the four batteries were each tested to measure their energy capacity and given a 0 capacity loss baseline. They were then tested at 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 and 40,000 miles, and at each point, the DC-only EVs had roughly the same amount of battery loss as the Level 2 test subjects. The DC cars did lose a bit more at each test, but only around a 25-percent overall loss after 40k, compared to 23 percent for the Level 2 cars. Simanaitis' takeaway is that, "INL data suggest that the amount of degradation depends more on the miles traveled than on the nature of recharging." The tests are part of the INLs' Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity work and a final report is forthcoming. These initial numbers from IPL do mesh with other research into DC fast charging, though. Mitsubishi said daily fast charging wouldn't really hurt the battery in the i-MiEV and MIT tests of a Fisker Karma battery showed just 10-percent loss over 1,500 rapid charge-discharge cycles.

Renault taking Alpine endurance racing, enters 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

Renault isn't letting up with the return of its Alpine brand. After announcing a partnership with Caterham to bring a new Alpine to market by 2015 (now expected by 2016), the French firm has announced it is taking Alpine racing again in the European Le Mans Series this year - and that includes The 24 Hours of Le Mans.
It has been 35 years since Alpine last competed in Le Mans, when it won the race outright and dropped the mic as it left the pits, never to return. Before that, in the 11 years it campaigned in the most famous endurance race on the planet from 1963 to 1978, it took seven class wins.
Caterham won't be involved with the race team, however; that will be an effort spearheaded by the Signatech-Nissan team that has been running GT Academy winners in LMS racing. Alpine is preparing an LMP2 chassis that will get a 500-horsepower Nissan engine for this year's championship, with the first two named drivers being Nelson Panciatici (above right) and Pierre Ragues (above left). The third driver for Le Mans will be announced later this month when the racer is launched at the Le Castellet race track in southern France.
