2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V in Aztec Red 130,500 miles
Features: 2.5 liter 4-cylinder engine with 175 hp from the factory Six-speed manual transmission 17" factory wheels Sport-tuned suspension Keyless entry Power windows and locks Sunroof Race-inspired seats New brakes Air conditioning recharged One owner Clear MD title in hand I bought this car new from South Point Nissan in Austin, Texas on 7/28/03. I used it as my commuter vehicle for the better part of ten years until getting something larger last fall. Since then I've driven it to work an average of once per week. It is in good condition, though it is an older car, shows some wear, and has typical paint chips and maintenance needs. Interior is in good shape as well. It has generally been a very reliable daily driver for me and is a blast to drive. I really enjoy driving this car. It has good power and responsiveness and corners nicely. The six speed manual is a ton of fun. I changed the oil with Mobil 1 synthetic every 4,000 miles until the car reached 100k miles and since then I've changed it every 5,000 miles. This car has never seen anything other than a Nissan oil filter, and got a new one with every oil change. On 6/6/05 while I was driving to work (in Texas), a lady in the lane to my left going the same direction as me swerved into my lane to avoid someone crossing over the center line into her lane. The car sustained body damage to the left front and also on the right side as the car careened into the safety rail on that side. I took the car back to the dealership and it had about $4,500 worth of bodywork repairs done. Since then I've driven the car over 100k miles and while the front bumper sags a bit, the accident didn't adversely impact the way the car drives and you generally can't tell it was in an accident. I drove the car up when we moved to Maryland in mid-2006 and it has been up here since, after spending its first three years in Central Texas. The car has been modestly modified for performance, fuel economy, and reliability. In August of 2004 I bought and installed a Hotshot header (exhaust manifold). These cars are known to have trouble with the stock exhaust manifold catalytic converter breaking up and being sucked into the engine which causes catastrophic engine failure. Changing to the aftermarket header alleviated that risk altogether. In 2013 the Hotshot header rusted out around the bottom midpipe flange and I purchased a like-new NISMO header and installed it. The O2 sensor that was located inside the stock manifold has been relocated behind the cat in the midpipe using a DC sports extender harness that uses the stock car and sensor harnesses (no wires were cut) and I replaced the O2 sensor when I installed the NISMO header. The car has passed MD state emissions inspection every other year, as required. In December of 2004 I bought and installed an aftermarket Stromung stainless steel exhaust. The Stromung is a top quality piece with a nice exhaust note, and a highly desired part. I also installed an AEM cold air intake and solid motor mount inserts that eliminate "wheel hop" when the front wheels spin. I installed a lightened crank pulley as well. Other than those external engine mods the car is largely stock. Recent maintenance includes: New brake rotors and ceramic pads and bled the brakes in April of 2014. In August of 2013 I replaced the battery. In the winter of early 2013 as I was driving home from work the serpentine belt broke. I took the car to the Nissan dealer and they replaced the belt as well as drained the cooling system and replaced with new coolant. In December of 2012 when the car had 120k miles on it, I had new Bridgestone Potenza RE970 ultra high performance all weather tires installed on the car at Costco. These tires are very highly rated by TireRack and I've found them to handle really well even in wet weather with good ride quality. The tires were rotated at 127,500 miles and now have about 10k miles on them. In the summer of 2012 an air conditioning line ruptured and the A/C lost function. I took the car to the Nissan dealer, where they replaced the hard line and re-charged the A/C. The air conditioning cools as good as new now. The OEM headlights had become pretty clouded and one of the driving lights didn't function so this spring I replaced them with new TYR complete headlamp assemblies. I also had a brake light out so last month I replaced both brake lamp bulbs in the rear. The car is over 10 years old and has over 100k miles on it so it isn't perfect. The front end has paint chips, particularly on the hood. The windshield has minor chips and scratches typical of a car this age. There is a small, barely noticeable dent on the driver's side rear quarter panel that has been there since the day my son was born (long story). The driver's side door has some bubbling on the front edge down low which indicates rust underneath (pictured). Besides that the car doesn't show obvious signs of rust. The stock radio functions fine but the CD player ate the last CD I put in it, so I'd assume that doesn't work. Overall the car has served me very well and should have a lot of good years left in it with continued diligent care. As I said, it is great fun to drive. Blue Book value for "good" (defined as better/worse than 50% of the used cars out there) condition is $3,250. This is a NO RESERVE auction and the car will go to the winning bidder at the end of the auction. Car is located in Maryland and I have clear title in hand. Car is described accurately herein but is for sale as-is, where-is. I am willing to work with the buyer's chosen transporter, but buyer is responsible for any and all shipping fees. $500 deposit due via Paypal within 24 hours of the end of the auction. The balance is to be paid in cash at the time the vehicle is collected. |

2018 Ford Expedition vs other big SUVs: How it compares on paper
Fri, Nov 10 2017With our Alex Kierstein rightly impressed in his first-drive review of the new 2018 Ford Expedition, we decided to dig a little deeper into the numbers, and we came up with the spreadsheet below to highlight how the new 2018 Expedition compares on paper to its main full-size SUV competitors: the 2018 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban (and therefore the 2018 GMC Yukon), 2018 Toyota Sequoia and 2018 Nissan Armada. We also threw in the new, even bigger 2018 Chevrolet Traverse since, as you'll see, its massive dimensions should put it on the radar for anyone who needs loads of passenger and cargo space but doesn't care as much about towing. A few notes about the chart above. First, the 6.2-liter V8 that's included with the new-for-2018 Tahoe RST trim level is the standard engine on the GMC Yukon Denali. You can apply most of the Tahoe's numbers to the entire Yukon and Yukon XL lineup. Second, though we highlighted categories where the Traverse led, we also highlighted the runner-up full-size SUV, since this was ultimately about that segment. Traverse numbers are broadly applicable to the new Buick Enclave.

Autoblog's guilty pleasure cars
Tue, Mar 10 2015Guilty pleasures are part of life – don't even try to pretend like you don't have one (or two, or six). In the non-automotive space, this could come down to that secret playlist in your iPhone of songs you'll only listen to when you're alone; or think of that one TV show you really do love, but won't admit to your friends. I've got plenty, and so do you. Going back to cars, here's a particularly juicy one for me: several years ago, I had a mad crush on the very last iteration of the Cadillac DTS. Oh yes, the front-wheel-drive, Northstar V8-powered sofa-on-wheels that was the last remaining shred of the elderly-swooning days of Cadillac's past. Every time I had the chance to drive one, I was secretly giddy. Don't hate me, okay? These days, the DTS is gone, but I've still got a mess of other cars that hold a special place in my heart. And in the spirit of camaraderie, I've asked my other Autoblog editors to tell me some of their guilty pleasure cars, as well – Seyth Miersma, as you can see above, has a few choice emotions to share about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Read on to find out what cars make us secretly happy. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG This decadent convertible is the epitome of the guilty pleasure. It's big, powerful, fairly heavy and it's richly appointed inside and out. It's a chocolate eclair with the three-pointed star on the hood. Given my druthers, I'd take the SL65 AMG, which delivers 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. That output is borderline absurd for this laid-back convertible. I don't care. You don't need dessert. Sometimes you just crave it. The SL line is about the feel you get on the road. The roof is open. The air, sun and engine sounds all embrace you. It's the same dynamic you could have experienced in a Mercedes a century ago, yet the SL gives you the most modern of luxuries. An Airscarf feature that warms my neck and shoulders through a vent embedded in the seat? Yes, please. Sure, it's an old-guy car. Mr. Burns and Lord Grantham are probably too young and hip for an SL65. I don't care. This is my guilty pleasure. Release the hounds. – Greg Migliore Senior Editor Ford Flex I drove my first Flex in 2009 when my mother let me borrow hers for the summer while I was away at college. The incredibly spacious interior made moving twice that summer a breeze, and the 200-mile trips up north were quite comfortable.
2015 Nissan Leaf gets B mode standard, new MorningSky Blue color
Thu, Jul 10 2014The Nissan Leaf is getting a few updates for the 2015 model year, some functional, some purely aesthetic. The appearance options will be made available later than the rest, and include a new exterior color called MorningSky Blue, as well as standard 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels for the SV trim level. In terms of driving, the 2015 Leaf gets a dedicated B-mode for every trim level, including the base S car (it was formerly only available in the SV and SL levels). This provides more aggressive regenerative braking when the driver is not on the accelerator - perfect for making the most of those downhill grades. Now every Nissan Leaf includes Normal, Eco-Mode and B-Mode, regardless of trim level. SV and SL trim levels also get a couple new convenience features. For those who find it impossible to disconnect while driving, the Hands-Free Text Messaging Assistant allows them to communicate without taking their eyes off the road, taking their hands off the wheel or risking a distracted driving ticket (perhaps you might want to rethink using it, though). Additionally, SV and SL customers will Voice Destination Entry to make spontaneous rerouting to the theme park a little easier. Of course, a lot of other Nissan cars got some cool upgrades this year. The Quest, NV200 Compact Cargo and V6-powered Altima, for instance, eke out another mile per gallon highway and combined. See what's new in the Leaf and the rest of the Nissan lineup in the press release below. The 2015 Nissan Lineup: Charting the Changes Nissan's U.S. sales have significantly outperformed the industry in 2014, up 12.7 percent CYTD through June. Sales have been led by the recently redesigned Altima, Rogue and Sentra – along with other models such as LEAF (+29.4%), JUKE (+44.9%), Frontier (+22.6%) and NV200 (+439.3%), which have shown strong results month after month. This gives the Nissan lineup great momentum heading into the 2015 model year. Headlining the changes for 2015 is the upcoming launch of the all-new Nissan Murano (due in late 2014). As the halo vehicle for Nissan's expanding range of bold crossovers and SUVs, the dramatic 2015 Murano features a new V-motion front end, LED boomerang lights and a unique "floating" roof. Murano's breakthrough exterior design carries into the interior, which offers an engaging social lounge feel through features such as advanced NASA-inspired Zero Gravity front and outboard rear seating and oversized Power Panoramic Moonroof.
