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

Massive Airbag Recall Affects Seven Automakers
Mon, Jun 23 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a role in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time. BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall. Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the NHTSA found that moisture played a roll in determining if there would be a problem. Ford is recalling an estimated 58,669 cars that include the 2005-2006 model years of the Ford GT for the driver and passenger inflators, the 2007-2007 model years of the Mustang for the driver side and 2004 Ranger for the passenger side. It covers vehicles originally sold or currently registered in, wait for it... Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands. Honda is issuing three separate recalls regarding the problem. First, the company is recalling the 2002-2003 model years Civic, CR-V and Odyssey and the 2003 model year of the Accord, Element, Pilot and Acura MDX to replace the passenger's side inflator. This covers all models nationwide. Second, Honda is repairing the passenger's side airbag inflator in the 2003-2005 Accord, Civic, CR-V, Element, Pilot, the 2003-2004 model year versions of the Odyssey, the 2003-2005 model year Acura MDX and 2005 Acura RL. However, only for vehicles located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Owners will be notified in July. Finally, Honda is separately replacing some models' driver's side inflators.
Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
2014 Nissan X-Trail is the Rogue's identical twin [w/video]
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Up until now, the Rogue and X-Trail were two different compact crossovers that competed in the same segment for Nissan, except one was sold only in the US and the other Europe. So why, Nissan asked, aren't they exactly the same? Thus, with today's reveal of the redesigned 2014 Nissan Rogue, our team on the ground at the Frankfurt Motor Show also met its new identical twin, the 2014 Nissan X-Trail.
Unlike the Rogue, the former X-Trail was a boxy thing that put on the airs of an SUV, so this new look is likely a larger departure for Europeans than it is for us 'Yanks. From what we can tell comparing their press releases, these two crossovers are practically identical save for the badge on their rear liftgates, both now offering an optional third row of seating and a slew of infotainment and active and passive safety features.
The one thing that may differ between the two are the engines on offer. While we know the Rogue has a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine producing 170 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque, Nissan's remaining mum on what will motivate the X-Trail. The prior model offered both gas- and diesel-powered models, which we feel safe in assuming will continue (perhaps opening the door for a diesel-powered Rogue in the US some day). Nissan says we'll know more closer to the X-Trail's on-sale date, which is stated simply as being "next year," whereas the Tennessee-built Rogue will be going on sale in the US this fall.
