1996 Nissan Maxima Gxe Sedan 4-door 3.0l - Very Clean!! No Reserve!! on 2040-cars

Year:1996 Mileage:119944
Location:

You are bidding on a 1996 Nissan Maxima GXE with a well-maintained 119k miles.  The engine is very strong and peppy with decent gas mileage as you would expect in the mid-20’s.  The transmission shifts 100% through all gears.  The oil has just been changed.  A/C blows cold.  Power windows function properly.  The paint is in great shape.  There is a dent in the rear quarter panel (pictured) from a fallen tree branch. The interior has minimal staining and cleans up very well.  The seats and carpet are in great shape.  Tires have about 60% tread left.  Brakes and rotors are also in very good shape. 

Issues to address: The power antenna doesn't function properly. The radio works but it the antenna must but engaged manually; The leather boot around the parking break is worn (pictured).; Somehow, somewhere, I lost a hubcap?!?! (pictured) 

Mechanically, the car is in great shape and will need very little. I don't want to set the expectation that it is perfect but it is in better than average condition.

Overall, this is a solid little car with years of service left for the next owner. 

This vehicle is being offered for sale “AS-IS” because of year and miles.  If you are new to Ebay or if you have fewer than 4 transactions, please contact me prior to bidding for approval to bid or I will cancel your bid immediately.  There is a $125 documentation fee in addition to the final selling price.  A $500 non-refundable deposit is required via Paypal within 48 hours of auction close.  Transaction must be completed within 7 days of auction end (full payment and pick-up arrangements at least).  I have done my best to describe the vehicle as accurately as possible.  Once purchased, this car can be driven anywhere in the country without issue.   Contact me via email with any questions.  Please bid with confidence and good luck.

Nissan rowed the Note ashore [w/video]

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

Normally we wouldn't suggest trying to float your car on water, but Nissan has made some modifications to turn its new Versa Note hatchback into a makeshift rowing shell.
Nissan replaced the car's rear seats with a sliding rear rowing seat, modified the doors to open wider at 90 degrees and fitted a pair of oars. Most importantly, they put the whole thing on a floating platform to keep it from sinking into Eton Dorney Lake, the site of the 2012 Olympic rowing competitions in England (where the car is simply known as the Nissan Note).
Then they invited medal-winning competitive rowers Helen Glover, Sophie Hosking and Polly Swann to come along and row the thing, making use of the around-view monitor system to see where they were going. All in all it may not be quite as cool as the boats which Fiat made out of the 500 or Mini made out of its convertible, but it's still enough to float our boat. Check it out in the video clip and press release below and the image gallery above.

The art of racing the Nissan GT-R

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

There's no question that the Nissan GT-R is one of the very fastest cars that money can buy, and that its sophisticated all-wheel-drive system and active suspension give its drivers an absurd level of control at speed. In fact, the GT-R's technical brilliance and video-game quickness often spur armchair critics to make absurd claims that kind of amount to: "The car basically drives itself."
Having a bit of fun with those particularly salty members of the peanut gallery, YouTube producers at That Racing Channel have put together an instructional video about the finer points of GT-R driving and street racing. Scroll down below to get an idea about just how difficult Godzilla can be to keep hold of at the limit.

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
