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

Mercedes and Infiniti confirm joint production in Mexico [w/video]
Mon, 30 Jun 2014It's official, folks: After initial reports last week indicated that Mercedes-Benz was preparing to begin assembly at the Nissan plant in Aguascalientes, Mexico, the two parent companies have announced just that. Only instead of using the existing Nissan plant at the site (in operation since 1992), Daimler and the Renault-Nissan Alliance have announced a joint venture to build a new one alongside it.
The latest stage in the growing French-German-Japanese collaboration is part of a new collaboration that will see Infiniti and Mercedes jointly develop and build a line of compact premium vehicles, with the first Infiniti models set to roll off the assembly line in 2017 and the first Benzes to follow a year later. Neither party announced exactly which models that would encompass, but Mercedes already has a robust line of small vehicles (including the A-Class, B-Class, CLA and GLA), and Infiniti has long been toying with the idea of slotting in something smaller below the Q50.
The billion-euro project, split evenly between the two industrial giants, is set to create 5,700 new jobs in Mexico. In addition to the Aguascalientes project, Infiniti and Mercedes are also undertaking joint production of four-cylinder engines (initially for the C-Class and Q50) in Decherd, Tennessee, from which they will be exported around the world. By the time the new factory in Mexico reaches full capacity in 2021, it will have the capability to produce 300,000 vehicles annually. That's on top of the 850,000 vehicles the existing facility is capable of handling.
Nissan recalls 640k crossovers for wiring issue, hood release
Wed, Jan 28 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced two separate recalls affecting hundreds of thousands of Nissan crossovers. The larger of the two involves the electrical system in 2008-2013 model year Rogue CUVs. In affected vehicles, a mixture of moisture and salt seeping in through the carpet on the driver's side could cause the harness connector to short, potentially causing a fire. The issue involves Nissan Rogues manufactured between March 7, 2007, and November 26, 2013, as well as examples of the 2014 Rogue Select manufactured between September 23, 2013, and July 2, 2014. All told, that comes to an estimated 468,815 units in the United States alone. The second recall affects the relatively smaller quantity of 170,665 vehicles, made up of 2013-14 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014 Pathfinder Hybrid, 2013 Infiniti JX35, 2014 QX60 and 2014 QX60 Hybrid models. (The JX35 was recently relabeled as the QX60 under Infiniti's new nomenclature.) The issue affecting some of those vehicles revolves around a hood release cable that may not properly latch. Nissan is notifying owners of the affected units to bring their vehicles in to have the wiring checked and to replace the harness connector and seal in the former case, and to have the hood release mechanism modified in the latter. All told, an estimated 639,480 vehicles are being recalled as part of the two campaigns. RECALL Subject : Electrical Short Due to Water Seepage Report Receipt Date: JAN 26, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V032000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured March 7, 2007, to November 26, 2013, and 2014 Nissan Rogue Select vehicles manufactured September 23, 2013, to July 2, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience an electrical short in the harness connector due to a mixture of snow/water and salt seeping through the carpet on the driver side floor near the harness connector. CONSEQUENCE: An electrical short can cause a vehicle fire. REMEDY: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the kick panel wiring harness connector and will if necessary install a new harness connector and waterproof seal, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
Nissan GT-R Nismo 'Ring time makes it track's 'fastest volume production car' [w/video]
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Performance cars are fun to drive and all, but at the end of the day ,owners drop big bucks on what are often ridiculously unpractical vehicles for the bragging rights. And when it comes to ultimate bragging rights, few get more publicized than lap times for everyone's favorite stretch of German pavement, the Nürburgring. Enter the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo.
After rumors about a 7:08 lap time appeared yesterday, Nissan confirmed has confirmed the news today with video footage of the run, which took place on September 30. The official lap time is just seven minutes and 8.679 seconds, putting the GT-R Nismo about 11 seconds off the pace of the Porsche 918 Spyder - some six seconds quicker than the far costlier Lexus LFA. Some admitted - but hard-to-spot - missteps by Nissan driver Michael Krumm would indicate that the car actually left some time on the table.
With this time, Nissan claims that the 595-horsepower GT-R Nismo is the "fastest volume production car" around the track. The definition of "volume" could surely be contested here, though, considering the small numbers in which the GT-R is sold. While we don't have global GT-R sales figures, this year has only seen 1,063 units sold through October, and there were close to 1,300 sold in all of 2011 and about 1,200 in 2012. While this loosely defined claim will only add to the Nürburgring lap time squabbling, it is no less impressive. Check out the record run for yourself in the video below, which is accompanied by an official press release.
