Asking price is fixed for a quick, no-hassle sale!"

FEATURES 
  • This 2001 Nissan Pathfinder LE 4x4 is the top of the line trim for its model year, originally retailing at approximately $34,000 back when she was new! She still runs absolutely beautifully and will be a great car for your city errands or big mountain adventures. I'll be sad to part ways with her, but just bought a new car and certainly don't need two cars. 
  • 240 hp V6, 265 ft-lbs torque. She loves charging up big, steep mountain passes at highway speeds, and doesn't even break a sweat doing so. Excellent power. One of my favorite features of the car.
  • V6, DOHC engine
  • MPG 14 city, 18-19 highway, 16-17 mixed use
  • Front seat power options have 6-way adjustments, including height adjustable, and also manual lumbar support for the driver's side - very comfortable for long drives
  • Luxurious simulated wood trim on dash
  • Seats 5, rear seats fold down for expanded cargo space. Large middle armrest available when only 2 passengers are in the rear seats. Rear cupholders. 
  • Selling at a great price as I just want a no-hassle, quick purchase for this vehicle. The asking price reflects ALL noted wear & tear, as a top asking price for this car is in the $4500-5000 range, and this car has been listed recently at CarMax for more than $5,000! 

CONDITION
  • Full service records available
  • Scheduled maintenance completed at all recommended intervals, including at 120K miles
  • Fresh oil change, done in August 2013, less than 1,000 miles ago
  • Tires in excellent condition, premium Michelin light truck/SUV LTX mud/snow all-season tires, have 20,000 miles on them (warrantied for 70,000 miles). Will throw in $120 tire chains for FREE, only used once!
  • New battery in June 2013
  • New front and rear windshield wipers (hey, it's the little details that count)
  • New front rotors & front brake pads in July 2013, rear brakes were reported to be in good condition at the time
  • Just passed smog in August 2013, detailed test results and smog certificate available
  • Clean registration and clear title

WEAR & TEAR
Big Blue is 12 years ago, so will naturally have some normal wear & tear. The asking price reflects all the wear & tear and is an excellent deal for the buyer in the market for a vehicle of this maturity level.
  • No major accidents. Only one minor incident, brushed up against a parking garage pole at 3 MPH, which required front bumper/fender repair, but no structural damage.
  • Paint is fading on the rear driver's side bumper, a bit rusty by the driver's side mirror & on top of the moonroof in minor spots.
  • Driver's seat is torn, could be stitched back together or easily covered up with a cloth seat cover if desired
  • Check engine light comes on at times, I've been advised that the catalytic converter isn't performing fully up-to-specs, but it does not affect the day-to-day performance of the car. Despite this issue, Big Blue still passed smog in August 2013, so if/when you want to repair this, is up to you. She still runs at the advertised MPG, and is not due for another smog inspection for two more years, so no any immediate repair need.
  • CD player doesn't work, doesn't matter to me since I just plug in a FM transmitter to create an AUX input and play music via a iPhone/MP3 player anyway.
  • Clock doesn't work anymore, guess maybe a bulb or fuse burned out but if you know how to replace it, knock yourself out.
  • Remote key fob needs to be reprogrammed, could be programmed yourself if you know how to do it. Otherwise just use the key for manual entry.

Ghosn: Low oil prices won't hurt EVs much

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Carlos Ghosn might be the most unflappable automotive CEO around. Despite lower gas prices and signs that these prices do impact green vehicle sales, the CEO of the Renault-Nissan Alliance was at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this weekend saying that people will continue to buy electric vehicles. "I don't think it is going to be slowing down," he said. "The people who are buying mainly for economic reasons may be deterred from it, but you have plenty of consumers buying EV for other reasons. On top of this, even though the price of oil is unpredictable – nobody has predicted last year that we would be at this level of oil price today and nobody knows where oil price will be next year or two years down the road – but what is predictable is that the regulation on emissions is going to get tougher in the various markets where we are present. So, our EV strategy is here not only to face too much dependence on oil or the cost of oil, but also to allow us to meet the very stringent regulations on emissions that are happening and will be happening in the future. So I can bet you that more and more car makers are coming to EVs and they're going to continue to build and sell EVs, even though the price of oil is coming down."

2015 Nissan Murano to hit the stage in NY

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

When the Nissan Murano launched in the early-2000s it was one of the first crossovers to eschew truck-like looks in favor of more sporty styling. For the third generation, Nissan is rumored to be taking the CUV's design even farther with inspiration from the wild Resonance concept that debuted at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. According to Edmunds, Nissan will unveil the next-generation, 2015 Murano and an unnamed concept at the New York Auto Show in April.
The new Murano will go on sale this fall on the same front-wheel drive platform as the Altima, Pathfinder and next-gen Maxima. Its size will be roughly unchanged compared to the current model, and there won't be a seven-seater option. Nissan spokesman Dan Bedore told Edmunds that it already offers "three rows in the Rogue as an option and three rows in the Pathfinder for everything. We don't need another three-row crossover." There will also be a rumored hybrid version using the Pathfinder's supercharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a 22-horsepower electric motor and lithium-ion battery. To disappoint the dozen people who will miss it, the much-maligned Murano CrossCabriolet will not make it to the third generation. Let's all shed a tear.
