Datsun/nissan 1980 280zx on 2040-cars
Canfield, Ohio, United States
For sale I have a rust free 1980 Nissan 280ZX. Automatic transmission, air conditioning, power windows, cruise, power antenna, original am/fm cassette radio. Approximately 150,000 miles. Runs and drives great. I am the third owner I believe. The first 2 owners were brothers. This was a California car for most of it's life. It spent 1 yr. in Michigan, then I brought to Ohio to be restored. The body was taken down to bare metal, then every door, hood, hatch and piece of glass removed to do justice to this classic sports car with a flawless medium metallic blue paint job. Brakes are good, tires are like new.The interior is in good condition. The interior door panels are discolored from the sun. It has the original wheels which have fresh powder coat. I bought this car 2 1/2 yrs ago when I retired with the intention of keeping forever, so I didn't cut corners on any work done. I have pictures documenting all the work. I have 2 daughters getting married (weddings to pay for) , so some toys have to go. All this being said, the car is 33 yrs old, so don't expect a new car. However, I have set a low reserve for quick sale. This is great opportunity to get a very nice sports car for not a whole lot of money. The winning bidder must pay via pay pal a $50.00 nonrefundable deposit within 48 hrs of the auction's end. The balance must be paid in cash within 7 days. If you want to pay with any kind of check, you cannot take possession of the car until the check clears any and all banks involved. Buyer is responsible for shipping and any fees involved. I will make myself available and car available just about anytime with reasonable notice. Once you have made payment, I would be willing to store the car for up to 30 days. after that would be a $5 per day charge. Happy Bidding and good luck!

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
Renault planning a Tata Nano rival. Again.
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Four years ago, Renault confirmed that it would partner with India's Bajaj Auto to develop a rival to the Tata Nano. At the time, as everyone waited for the Tata Nano to arrive, you could have used a Richter scale to measure the tremors the executive suites of any automaker with an interest in the low end of emerging markets. Then the Nano, still the cheapest car in the world, didn't sell so well - at the end of last year its sales were just six percent of its most conservative projections - and everyone seemed content to let Tata spend the money to figure out if there really was a market for the cheapest car in the world.
Renault believes there is, kind of. Automotive News Europe reports that it will partner with Nissan to build two low-priced cars for emerging markets, one for €3,000 ($3,888 U.S.) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 U.S.). The price of the least expensive offering is nearly $1,400 more than a Nano, which costs $2,500, and that can't be considered a small sum in comparison. But one of the hindsight knocks on the Nano has been that even in emerging markets buyers don't want a car whose biggest lure is that it is cheap; they'd rather give their aspirations a bit more of a workout.
Renault's offerings are scheduled to hit the non-Western market in late 2014, which is coincidentally the same year that will see the return of the budget-minded and emerging-market-specific Datsun nameplate. They'll be built in Renault facilities in Chennai, India, with no mention made of Bajaj this time around.
