It's hard for me to do this, but I'm offering up for sale my Datsun 1983 280ZX TURBO by Nissan (has both Datsun and Nissan badging).  My father bought this back in the '90's and then gifted it to me a few years later.  It's been loved for a long time and is a ton of fun, but sometimes we have to give up our fun.  I'm in the military and deploy often so I do not have to time to tinker with my baby and be the father and husband I need to be.  That said, about the car:

Starts and runs well.  This engine could take a bullet and keep going.  The five speed transmission shifts well and the turbo spools and the engine pulls hard.  With the tops off on a sunny day, this car is a dream to drive.  It regularly turns heads and always gets comments in the drive-thru, parking lot, and gas station.  Even at stop lights.  These sporty cars are getting harder and harder to find and everybody loves them.  There is a ding above the left rear fender (my dad recently did that...painful, but it was fair retribution for when I scratched his '77 280z when I was a teenager) and some minor rust with some paint blistering (see pics).  There are a couple scuffs on the passenger seat leather with the driver's seat in good condition.  Has rubber floor mats.  Has an occasional electric gremlin causing the car to idle rough until it warms up.  If you have ANY questions, please ask and I'll do my absolute best to answer.  This car is worth far more than the opening bid with no reserve, but it's priced for a quick sale.

If you're looking for a stylish commuter or fun toy, this is a great option.  Happy Bidding:)

Datsun to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.

Datsun's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.
