XE. In looking at the pictures one could
never possibly fathom why it is I have been dreading the point in time at which
I would write this ad and officially set out to part ways with such a dear
friend after spending 6 quality years with one another. For the remainder of this ad I will be
referring to my ole’ pal by his proper name – Fred – so please just follow
along knowing that when I say “Fred” it will be in reference to my 1997 Nissan. First off, at the present moment Fred is not in the best
health; His age has begun to show, and he isn’t quite the machine he was in his
prime, but others like him have fared well in old age and 400,000+ miles is a
common life expectancy for this model.
His engine and transmission function perfectly and he has recently had a
new battery installed. As you’ll be able
to see from the pictures he has been parked in the garage since our last move
and is just taking up space. His Story: Fred was purchased by my older sibling around 11/2008 and I
inherited him upon his passing in 10/2009.
He has been very well taken care of for the past 40,000 miles of his
life, always eating synthetic oil and sipping on 93 octane fuel. His headliner was replaced by my brother and
looks GREAT, the seats are in GREAT condition for the truck’s age (have had
covers on them since purchase), and the dash and other surface areas are free
of any major defects, scratches, discoloration.
Fred’s interior is absolutely beautiful given his age and even the smell
of the interior is very pleasant as he has never been smoked in while in our
care (and probably even before). While
in my brother’s care, Fred had a nice set of 20 inch chrome rims which he
enjoyed showing off, but because of events preceding my brother’s passing, they
were taken from him while he was being held hostage by other scumbag members of
my family. I made them a promise that he
would eventually be back in my care and he was eventually returned, but lacking
the bling that my brother had provided him.
All-in-All it was okay because I once again had in my possession my
brother’s faithful friend and that was the beginning of our six year
friendship. Unfortunately with the loss
of his bling, he was left with 4 used tires on rims that are not the most
pleasant in appearance, but we have made it work and the two front tires are
now relatively new. The Name: I was never one to name vehicles because they are basically
just objects, but knowing that this truck did indeed have a personality I
decided that he needed a name and Fred just seemed fitting. Let me describe him; Fred is like the old
wise friend who although he may not be much of a looker, is always by your side
when you need him. He’s reliable; when
in good health you can always count on him to get you from Point A to Point B
without any hesitation. Fred’s method of
transport is slow and steady so if you’re looking for something with raw power
then he is not what you are looking for; he won’t let you get a speeding ticket
because he doesn’t speed (0-60 is about 4 1/2 minutes.. joking), sometimes he
likes you to get him going but most of the time he just prefers to cruise
(he’ll let you know how he feels). Cosmetic Condition: I’ve already touched on Fred’s condition to some extent, but
I want to share with you my observations so you are not surprised when you meet
him. Fred’s exterior looks nice but his
structure is very basic (He is a 97); he has a few spots of rust (top of cab),
some paint is scraped away on each side of the windshield (Carwash got him),
and there are a few small dings with the largest being just above the front
right wheel well. Fred’s interior is as
close to perfection you are going to get for his age and most has been
described above; headliner is GREAT, Front seats are in fantastic condition,
and covered, rear foldout seats are like new, everything is clean, and radio is
an average aftermarket product that was installed by my brother. There is a bed liner in the bed of the truck
that is also in great shape and all the doors, windows function
flawlessly. The two front tires have
less than 5,000 miles on them and have plenty of life left, the rear tires will
need to be replaced, but function fine for now (tires are inexpensive for this
truck). Fred’s rims are just basic rims
and could probably look better if they were polished up but I just never had
the time to do this and could never get over the disappointment of him getting
his bling taken so we just never dealt with that problem. Structurally, I would say Fred is in above
average condition, but may need some parts replaced because of his age. Functionality: The problems with Fred primarily lie in this area and I am
not sure the extent of the work that needs to be done, but with the things I do
know about him I find it safe to assume that with a very small amount of work
he will be operational and with a little extra he will function in a reliable
manner for many years to come. He starts
at the turn of the key and the Engine and Transmission have never had any
issues and still run strong and shift smoothly.
His primary issues are likely due to sensors as I have had this issue
corrected once before (about a year ago) for only around $80 and he ran fine up
until a month ago. I recently put an
additional $400 into repairs sometime in June 2014 which included a throttle
body gasket and throttle position sensor. I took off Fred’s catalytic converter
when he stopped operating properly in searching for a solution to his issues so
that has been replaced with a NEW one. I
believe the cause of all of Fred’s problems are due to a couple sensors and
possibly some engine maintenance that would be common in a vehicle that has
been on the road this long. I believe
that at one point there was a sensor removed to resolve a problem (earlier
owner) and was never repaired which is now causing Fred to run rich (smell of
gasoline) and causing other issues to recur.
Getting him to function would probably not cost any significant amount
of money to someone with mechanical knowledge as the parts I have replaced have
thus far been inexpensive. The A/C blows very cold, but when left on at times
will freeze up and must be turned off for a few minutes; I was told that he
needs a new A/C clutch during the June repairs which is not an expensive
repair. It never really caused a problem for me as I oft drove with the windows
rolled down because Fred just likes to cruise.
I have also recently replaced Fred’s spark plugs and wires so those will
not need attention. Both of the
headlights are also new and we’re replaced in the process of moving him so
they’ve barely been turned on since replaced.
Fred comes with a full engine gasket set that I purchased when I planned
on tearing down the engine myself. All-in-All, Fred can be a reliable vehicle for someone who
doesn’t need to travel long distances and doesn’t desire any special
performance. With some proper healthcare
I am confident Fred can once again be the dependable truck which I relied upon
for transportation, but with my schedule I do not have the time to devote to
him and I am now expecting my second child towards the end of the year so I
could use the extra money for baby gear and already have a vehicle to drive daily. One might ask, why don’t I just get the
repairs done myself as it would probably be inexpensive?! That is because this
truck is not very infant friendly and that is a need that is currently
imminent. As much as I hate to let him
go, he is just not serving any purpose napping in the garage and he would
probably be happier out and about as he once was after he is properly diagnosed
and undergoes any operations he needs. There is a low reserve for Fred, but it is reasonable as I
am not out to make a fortune but know that there is plenty of value remaining
in my old friend and due to the memories which have come during our friendship
I cannot bring myself to give him away.
The Blue Book value of this vehicle in good condition is $2432 and $2675 in excellent condition which is very good considering the age; this is much due
to the fact that these cars do tend to last for such a long time. I really do not want to let him go but I
think the time has come for us to part ways.
I have the Title in hand and someone will be getting a GREAT truck to
make their own memories with. You can email me at celneptune14@gmail.com

Nissan, Fisker in advanced talks on investment, partnership
Sat, Mar 2 2024Nissan is in advanced talks to invest in electric vehicle maker Fisker in a deal that could provide the Japanese automaker with access to an electric pickup truck while giving the struggling startup a financial lifeline, according to two people familiar with the negotiations. The deal could close this month, said the sources, who asked not to be identified because the talks are ongoing and have not been finalized. Terms being discussed include Nissan investing more than $400 million in Fisker's truck platform and building Fisker's planned Alaska pickup starting in 2026 at one of its U.S. assembly plants, one of the sources said. Nissan would build its own electric pickup on the same platform, the source said. Nissan has U.S. assembly plants in Mississippi and Tennessee. Fisker said on Thursday, when it announced it might not be able to continue as a going concern and would cut 15% of its workforce, that it was in talks with a large automaker for a potential investment and joint development partnership. It did not name the automaker. A Fisker spokesman said the company does not comment on speculation, while Nissan officials were not immediately available to comment. Fisker shares had been down about 45% before the Reuters report but pared those losses and were trading down about 25% with a market capitalization of more than $295 million. The term sheet is ready and the deal is going through due diligence, one of the sources said. Nissan was an EV pioneer with its fully battery powered Leaf hatchback in 2010 but has since struggled in the face of nimbler new entrants. A deal with Fisker would help it move into the growing U.S. electric pickup market. Nissan's talks with Fisker comes in the wake of the former's “rebalanced” relationship with its long-time alliance partner Renault. Last year, Nissan and Renault finalised terms of a restructured alliance after months of negotiations. They aim to have cross-shareholdings of 15% as part of the deal. The more limited alliance removes certain restrictions and has opened the door for Nissan to develop growth plans in areas such as EVs and software independent of Renault, said one of the sources, who is familiar with Nissan's thinking. The Yokohama-headquartered automaker is scouring “many, many opportunities,” the person said.
Renault ousts CEO days after Nissan gets a new one
Fri, Oct 11 2019Newly-appointed interim CEO Clotilde Delbos and Chairman of Renault SA Jean-Dominique Senard. / Reuters  PARIS — Renault ousted chief executive Thierry Bollore on Friday, as the French carmaker and its Japanese partner Nissan seek to rekindle their alliance following the scandal-hit tenure of former alliance supremo Carlos Ghosn. Tensions between Renault and Nissan, which picked a new CEO on Tuesday, have been high since Ghosn's arrest in Tokyo last year on allegations of financial misconduct, which he denies. Bollore, who was close to Ghosn and had strained relations with Nissan's previous boss, will be replaced on an interim basis by Renault finance director Clotilde Delbos. With new faces at the helm, Renault chairman Jean-Dominique Senard is hoping to draw a line under almost a year of turmoil and revive cooperation between two carmakers once seen as destined to fully merge. That is vital at a time when auto markets are slowing and carmakers are having to invest in costly new technologies as well as meet challenging European emissions regulations. "We're at a new stage now for this alliance. Sometimes you need new management ... to breathe new life into things," Senard, who was brought in earlier this year from tyre maker Michelin, told a news conference in Paris. He said three members of Renault's 18-strong board abstained in the vote to remove Bollore, who hit out at his looming dismissal in a newspaper interview the night before, calling it a coup. Following Ghosn's arrest, a feeling of stagnation around joint Renault-Nissan projects, including on issues such as advancing on cost savings, had begun to set in, people at Renault have said. These would now be the first priority, according to a source close to the carmaker. "There are a lot of concrete matters that have already been identified, including on the industrial front: working on batteries, electric vehicles, connectivity, purchasing and self-driving cars," the source said. Shares in Renault closed up 5.1%. 'Coup de force' Tensions between Renault and Nissan were further inflamed this year, including during various spats over governance reforms, and after a failed deal to pair Renault up with Fiat Chrysler, which withdrew a merger offer. Senard reiterated on Friday that a tie-up with Fiat, which was abandoned in June, was not at present on the agenda.
2013 Nissan Pathfinder: January 2013
Wed, 23 Jan 2013We've now had our long-term 2013 Nissan Pathfinder for about a month, and some impressions are starting to solidify, while others remain contentious among the team. Most notable among those contentious items is our Pathfinder's paint color, which was chosen by vote among the Autoblog team.
Dubbed Mocha Stone, it beat out Cayenne Red by a single vote. I was a Mocha Stone supporter and like it even more in person than on Nissan's configurator. It's a mature choice that can be comfortably placed in the grouping of silver, white and gray tones buyers routinely choose most often over all the colors of the rainbow offered on cars these days for the sake of attention. Staunch opponents of Mocha Stone on the team remain unswayed. Democracy is a difficult process, people.
