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
or contact me by cell at (727) 858-8830 if you have any questions or would like

Workers at Mississippi auto supplier protesting low wages
Tue, Feb 24 2015Workers at an automotive seat factory in Mississippi are protesting what they say are low wages and poor working conditions as they attempt to unionize in what could become a new front for the United Auto Workers in the state. A group of workers and supporters at the Faurecia SA seating plant in Cleveland plans a Tuesday march. "We work an auto job and we're getting paid like Wal-Mart wages," said Jamarqus Reed, a 32-year-old Pace resident who has worked at the plant for almost 10 years. "We're trying to better ourselves." Nationally, the UAW has staked its future on unionizing Southern auto factories, with limited success so far. The union has been trying to organize Nissan Motor Co.'s Canton, MS, plant for years, and lost a 2008 worker vote at a Johnson Controls plant in nearby Madison that French-based Faurecia bought in 2011. The UAW narrowly lost a unionization vote at the Volkswagen AG plant in Chattanooga, TN, last year, but the union has since qualified for a new labor policy at the plant that grants access to meeting space and to regular discussions with management. The policy stops short of collective bargaining rights. The union is also trying to organize Nissan's assembly plant in Smyrna, TN, and Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz plant in Tuscaloosa, AL. Protesters say Faurecia employees make a top wage of $11.64 per hour, while contract workers make $7.73 an hour. Company spokesman Tony Sapienza said that with overtime, the typical Faurecia employee makes more than the $27,000 a year that is the median wage around Cleveland. Wages are often low in the heavily impoverished Delta. "We are very confident that we are offering a very competitive wage," Sapienza said. Organizers criticize use of lower-paid contract workers Shannon Greenidge, a 44-year-old Cleveland resident, said she worked for a labor agency for more than two years before being hired directly by Faurecia. Greenidge said she makes $9.29 an hour, and can't save for retirement or to send her 11-year-old daughter to college. "That's not going to help me down the line in life," she said. Union supporters say as many as half the workers at the plant work for a contract-labor agency. Sapienza said that while the number varies, the company expects 15 percent of its workforce will be temporary employees this year. The UAW has organized some Southern auto parts plants in recent years, including Faurecia plants in Cottondale, Alabama, in 2012 and Louisville, Kentucky in 2013.
Ten of the greatest Super Bowl car commercials of all time
Thu, Jan 28 2016With an average of over 100 million viewers each year, the Super Bowl always has advertisers bringing out the big guns. And for those among us who don't know the difference between a safety and a touchback, those commercials can be one of the most compelling aspects of the annual ritual. Car companies, in particular, have a long history of making the most of the huge Super Bowl audience by debuting some of the most memorable advertisements that have ever aired on television. So, in preparation for the new batch we'll be seeing this coming Sunday, here's a collection of our favorites from the past. 10. Audi – The Godfather When Audi created this homage to the quintessential gangster movie to promote its newest sports car, the company managed to make a commercial that was simultaneously funny, a little bit disturbing, and most importantly memorable. 9. Maserati – Strike This one might start out slow, but it delivers not only with the wicked sound of the third-generation Ghibli's engine, but with an interesting message about hubris in the auto industry as well. 8. Nissan 300ZX Twin-Turbo – Dream Directed by none other than Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Alien), this dystopian spot has centers around a narrator who explains that in his dream the bad guys are unable to catch him despite their best efforts by way of street bikes, race cars, and supersonic jets. While the twin-turbocharged 300ZX car was certainly a performance powerhouse to be reckoned with in its day, the concept and execution of this one does come off a little bit campy now – but in a good way. Then again, it is a dream, after all. 7. General Motors – Robot This one is unique in that it's genuinely depressing on a profound level. Who would've thought that the simulated suicide of a lovable, anthropomorphic car-building robot who has fallen on hard times could be such a downer? 6. Nissan – With Dad Although the debut season of its new LMP1 racer didn't exactly turn out how the team hoped it would, there's no denying that Nissan's depiction of a strained father-and-son relationship that eventually leads to redemption (and the introduction of the 2016 Maxima) tugs at the heartstrings. 5. Volkswagen – Big Day A surprisingly poignant advert, this one might be low on dialogue but it certainly gets its message across. And just as the dramatic soundtrack begins to lull the viewer into a sense of security, our expectations are upended. 4.
Nissan Rogue Detour uses Google Maps to go create virtual test drive from your doorstep
Mon, Feb 10 2014The best way to evaluate a new car before you buy it is to test drive it. All of the specs and reviews in the world cannot communicate how a car suits you as well as a few minutes behind the wheel. Interesting, then, that according to Nissan, the average buyer spends twice as much time researching new cars online than they do at dealers. To market its new 2014 Rogue, Nissan has launched an online marketing experience aimed at bridging that gap. Called The Detour, it combines Google Street View and Google Maps to give you a custom-tailored virtual test drive. The neat, uniquely interactive part about Detour is that it allows you to specify a starting and ending location. Thus, you can use the microsite to 'show' the Rogue on your commute, or your favorite stretch of tarmac. To spice things up, Nissan has added some digital effects and set the experience to a song by British rapper M.I.A. Detour seems to work better on shorter journeys, because it snips out some portions of the route in order to keep the experience from running too long. If you're going to try it out, we suggest using a crosstown journey rather than going cross country. Scroll down to get all of the details on the Rogue's latest marketing campaign, or click here to try it out for yourself. Nissan Takes 2014 Rogue Shoppers on Cinematic "Detour" with New Google Maps-Based Virtual Test Drive Feb. 4, 2014 – New Online Campaign Shows How Nissan Rogue Makes Every Drive More Exciting – NASHVILLE – Nissan today launched "The Detour," an exciting virtual driving adventure in support of the ongoing rollout of the all-new 2014 Nissan Rogue compact SUV. Available now at nissanusa.com/the-detour, The Detour utilizes Google® Street View, Google® Maps and Google® Satellite API – along with Hollywood-style digital effects and a soundtrack from recording artist M.I.A. – to create a custom test drive experience starting from anywhere around the world. "Recent studies show that new car buyers today spend nearly twice as much time researching their purchases online than at dealerships – more clicking than kicking the tires, so to speak. So why not bring the two together with an informative and enjoyable test drive in buyers' own neighborhoods?" said Jon Brancheau, vice president, Nissan Marketing Communications & Media, Nissan North America, Inc.
