Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"engine runs but runs rough. driver side door won't open. passenger side door won't close. muffler functional but held in place by a chain saw chain and u-bolts. there is one tiny hole on it that looks like corrosion eat-through. I assume the welding tacks or brackets that originally held it in place gave way. rear window defroster nonfunctional. heater works up to 3rd highest setting but fails at highest heat level. the folding/locking connector for the right rear pop-out window is broken off. the top of the dashboard is severely sun-damaged. the upholstery in the backseat is severely damaged. there is soot on the passenger seat. the driver's seat has always been kept covered by a protector so it is in better shape. the battery is dead and the front fastener that keeps the battery in it's tray is corroded away. the engine starts easily enough when I use a jump-start battery to start it. the burgundy (color of red wine) exterior paint is worn off. non-factoryair-conditioner not working."

I am the sole owner since I bought it newly manufactured in 1983. it did not have a factory installed air conditioner so when I bought it I had them add an air conditioner. over the years it failed 2 or 3 times and I had it fixed but I stopped fixing it. I assume all the old parts of that are still there. it has never been in a major wreck. the only minor wreck I remember is when someone hit my car in a parking lot when I wasn't there. there was a big dent in the panel back left from the drivers side. I think the panel was replaced.  about 5 years after I bought it the front axle melted and Nissan paid to replace it. I guess it didn't get greased although I took it in to the dealer for its post buy maintenance.  the clutch has been replaced a few times, I ride it I suppose.  I replaced the entire engine at around 79000 miles. sorry, I don't remember the exact mileage, don't have any record. point being the overall car has 193k on it but the engine doesn't.  tires have a lot of tread left on them (see pictures). the last maintenance activity I did back in 09 when I stopped using it was for the brake pads and discs to be replaced so they should be good for another 20k.  I find I prefer to try to sell it to someone who'll keep it, refurbish it, rather than just junk it. it's a trooper, it's hauled me around for over 25 years. in this state that makes it an antique, you can get an antique plate for it and drive it around in those antique car rallies (I think. as far as I know).  it has a manual transmission and it is small and maneuverable. in my opinion it's more fun to drive than a car with an automatic transmission. there are some small dings on the outside in additions to the paint being off but nothing I would call a 'dent'.  I used to smoke cigarettes but I didn't for that last 10+ years I had it.  I had a temporary contract up in Minnesota for 9 months. I used this car then and I had it proofed against snow-salt. i.e. many of the interior vacancies inside the body were squirted full of some substance to stop rust and a paint-on/spray-on treatment was given to the undercarriage to resist salt.  As far as I know it doesn't have any salt damage.  the old highway mileage for this car used to be 50-55 but that anti-salt treatment lowered that I'm sure. as did age.  I have a replacement certificate of title which applies to the car now.  I had the original title and I bet I still DO have it but I can't find it. a couple years ago I decided to sell and had to get my title reissued but wound up not selling.  I bought this vehicle with cash and there were Never any liens or debts or what-have-you on it.  I also have 1 of the original keys which i found a couple days ago...and promptly lost again. I got summoned for jury duty and I wound up shuffling a lot of objects around before I went in. that key got lost in the move-it-all activity.  if I can find that key before pickup you can have it of course. I have 2 copy keys which work.

You pay for any shipping expenses although I assume it'll be someone local who shows up to get it.

Japanese automakers welcome North American trade deal, fear what's next

Tue, Oct 2 2018

TOKYO — Toyota, Nissan and Mazda welcomed on Tuesday the revised North America trade deal that left Japanese automakers unscathed, but they may face a bumpy ride when Washington and Tokyo hold new talks on over $40 billion of annual U.S. auto imports from Japan. The United States and Canada reached an agreement on Sunday to update the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement after Washington had forged a separate trade deal with Mexico in August. The updated deal effectively maintains the auto industry's current footprint in North America, and spares Canada and Mexico from the prospect of U.S. national security tariffs on their vehicles. Mazda, which ships cars to the United States from Mexico and Japan, called the deal a "big step forward". Nissan, which makes the cars it sells in the United States locally as well as in Mexico, Japan and other countries, said it was "encouraged" by the agreement. Toyota, Japan's biggest automaker, said it was "pleased" that a basic deal was reached. Other automakers were not immediately available for comment. While the deal has removed the risk that the disintegration of the pact would have posed to automakers, bigger risks loom large for Japanese firms as a chunk of the roughly 7 million cars they sold in the U.S. last year were shipped from Japan, and a trade deal between Washington and Tokyo has yet to be agreed. The United States and Japan last week agreed to begin fresh trade talks, with U.S. President Donald Trump seeking to address Japan's $69 billion trade surplus, of which nearly two-thirds comes from auto exports. Washington is also investigating the possibility of slapping 25 percent tariffs on auto imports on national security grounds, although it has agreed with Japan to put any new tariffs on hold during the talks. Analysts say the United States may take a tougher stance on auto imports from Japan than from its neighbors. "If Japan requests an exemption from the 25 percent tariffs under consideration, Washington could propose a more strict cap on imports than it agreed to with Mexico and Canada," said Koji Endo, senior analyst at SBI Securities. "That would be a risk." This could be a big blow to Japan, as the United States is a key source of revenue for Japanese automakers including Toyota, Nissan and Honda. The U.S. market accounts for a quarter or more of their annual global vehicle sales, and of their total U.S.

Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge to cost over $100,000?

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Enthusiasts have been clamoring for Infiniti to build a car like the Q50 Eau Rouge for years. In concept form, it employs the GT-R's much-loved 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6, tuned to produce 560 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque, with the whole works slid underneath fetching luxury sedan bodywork with carbon fiber aero aids. At this point, the model is rumored to be all but certain for production. The company recently even put Sebastian Vettel in one to show it off. However, Infiniti President Johan de Nysschen is suggesting that the model's lifetime could be brief, limited and rather expensive.
The Infiniti boss recently gave a long interview to Motor Trend that spilled a lot of beans about the Eau Rouge. While he refused to officially admit that the super sedan was on the way, he admits that he's "pushing the Eau Rouge concept for commercialization."
According to de Nysschen, if built, the production version will hew closely to the concept with the engine from the GT-R, but the seven-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive system will come from the Q70. And while that would make the Eau Rouge a performance powerhouse, it might also be a rarity on the road:

Semi-autonomous Nissan Leaf certified for road use in Japan [w/video]

Sat, 28 Sep 2013

In order to meet its goal of having an autonomous car in production by 2020, Nissan is going to have be able to test its technology in real-world driving conditions. For this, the automaker has just received a license plate to legally test its semi-autonomous driver assist systems in Japan, marking the first time such technologies have been tested on that country's roads. Not ironically, the license plate number is 2020.
Though not fully autonomous, this Leaf prototype will test various components of a self-driving car including exiting the highway, the ability to stay in its lane and change lanes when needed, stopping at red lights and overtaking stopped or slow traffic. Nissan is also in the process of building a proving ground in Oppama, Japan dedicated solely to autonomous cars, but the ability to test on public roads will obviously play a crucial role in the development of these cars. Scroll down for a short video and press release Nissan posted to mark the occasion.
