Not sure where to start, but basically I got ripped off, in over my head, and have ran out of time. i don't want to rip anyone off because i'm around 8k plus, into this car and really just want to sell it. it's almost done but i am out of time and money so read ahead and here is my complete story

i bought this car back in feb 2013 i was told it only needed a couple thousand to get the car running again. problems with the car were just a fuse, breaks, and suspension. 
i purchased all the suggested parts and the electrical problems did not improve. The problems the car has as far as electrical are no lights, interior exterior, a/c, instrument cluster. other problems that are in need of attention is the outside body work, this is the easiest and cheapest of the problems as the bumper and fenders need to be fitted and painted. the breaks need to be bled, all calipers, rotors, and pads are brand new professionally installed with receipts front and rear (1000$) the 5 lug is installed on the front i have brand new parts for the rear if you want to swap out the rotor and hub.it runs a little funny sometimes from a bad sensor, you can tell its a sensor because it idles and revs healthily with no weird ticks or sounds. It runs with a little lag only sometimes, and others it will run like new.  again im not trying to rip anyone off so i'm trying to list any possible down sides of this car, other than that it is a Really nice car with an excellent almost new interior. i has a lot of potential. if you have the time you can easily make money off this car, i put it up on craigslist without listing the problems for 10k and my phone was blowing up for two weeks. my guess is another 1500$-2500$ more into it so plan to spend a couple grand for the electrical and body. The electrical i believe to be one problem, mainly because its not a few things shorted out, its EVERYTHING so my guess is the guy before me unhooked something and im just to stupid to notice. i'm not sure, and i doubt it will be a few hundred to fix most likely around 1000$ to find the problem

Potential, is endless you can use it as a badass race car, or keep it and put it back to stock and make it the RAREST 240 anyone has seen.

THIS CAR IS A NEEDLE IN A HAY STACK, ALTHOUGH IT NEEDS WORK YOU WILL NOTTTT!! FIND A 240 WITH THIS LOW OF MILES AND THIS NICE OF INTERIOR ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.  THE CLOSEST ONE I HAVE SEEN HAD 89,000 MILES ON IT AND IT SOLD FOR 13,500 ON HERE 


MIGHT BE MISSING SOMETHING FEEL FREE TO GIVE ME A TEXT/CALL ANYTIME IM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS

Nissan Leaf keeps plug-in vehicle sales crown for 6th straight month

Thu, May 1 2014

And Nissan makes it 14 in a row. For the 14th straight month, the all-electric Leaf has had "record sales," according to Nissan's marketing team. What that means is that for that particular month (in this case, April) no matter what year you look at, the car sold more than it ever did before. For April 2014, the 2,088 Leafs sold represents a 7.8-percent increase from 2013. Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said in a statement that the "new market" of Cincinnati made the top 25 list for Leaf sales areas in April, so the car's popularity continues to ebb and flow across the US. Over at Chevy, the Volt sold 1,548 units in April, reaching a year-to-date total of 5,154. The Leaf is outpacing that with 7,272 YTD sales. In 2013, the Volt outsold the Leaf by about 500 vehicles, but Leaf sales are up 33 percent year-over-year while Volt is down 7.1 percent. The Leaf has also outsold the Volt for six straight months. But we're excited for every eco-car sale, and that's why we'll have our monthly detailed write-up of the rest of the plug-ins, hybrids and diesel vehicles available soon. Until then, discuss.

DC fast charging not as damaging to EV batteries as expected

Mon, Mar 17 2014

As convenient as DC fast charging is, there have been lots of warnings that repeated dumping of so many electrons into an electric vehicle's battery pack in such a short time would reduce the battery's life. While everyone agrees that DC fast charging does have some effect on battery life, it may not be as bad as previously expected. Over on SimanaitisSays, Dennis Simanaitis, writes about a recent presentation by Matt Shirk of the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) called DC Fast, Wireless, And Conductive Charging Evaluation Projects (PDF) that describes an ongoing test of four 2012 Nissan Leaf EVs that are being charged in two pairs of two. One pair only recharges from 50-kW DC fast chargers, which the other two sip from 3.3-kW Level 2 chargers exclusively. Otherwise, the cars are operated pretty much the same: climate is automatically set to 72 degrees, are driven on public roads around Phoenix, AZ and have the same set of dedicated drivers is rotated through the four cars. "Degradation depends more on the miles traveled than on the nature of recharging." What's most interesting are the charts on page seven of Shirk's presentation (click the image above to enlarge), which show the energy capacity of each of the four vehicles. When they were new, the four batteries were each tested to measure their energy capacity and given a 0 capacity loss baseline. They were then tested at 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 and 40,000 miles, and at each point, the DC-only EVs had roughly the same amount of battery loss as the Level 2 test subjects. The DC cars did lose a bit more at each test, but only around a 25-percent overall loss after 40k, compared to 23 percent for the Level 2 cars. Simanaitis' takeaway is that, "INL data suggest that the amount of degradation depends more on the miles traveled than on the nature of recharging." The tests are part of the INLs' Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity work and a final report is forthcoming. These initial numbers from IPL do mesh with other research into DC fast charging, though. Mitsubishi said daily fast charging wouldn't really hurt the battery in the i-MiEV and MIT tests of a Fisker Karma battery showed just 10-percent loss over 1,500 rapid charge-discharge cycles.

Junkyard Gem: 1996 Nissan Quest XE with 338,549 miles

Sun, Jul 9 2023

When I hit the junkyard, I always look for vehicles with impressive final figures showing on their odometers. I find so many Hondas and Toyotas with better than 300,000 miles that I don't consider them especially noteworthy (the exception being super-low-spec cheap models, such as a Tercel or Civic VX), and it goes without saying that the bar is quite high for Mercedes-Benzes as well. It has been surprisingly difficult to find discarded Nissans that made it past the 300k mark; today's Junkyard Gem is just the fourth I've documented. The highest-mile junked Nissan I'd found prior to today's minivan is a 1994 Maxima with 364,238 miles, followed by a 1987 Maxima with 341,176 miles and a 1986 200SX with 309,222 miles. Keep in mind that Nissan didn't go to six-digit odometers on most of its US-market cars until the early 1980s, and then went to tough-to-read-in-the-junkyard electronic odometers in the early 2000s; this means the pool of potential high-mile Nissans is limited to about the 1983-2000 range of model years. Ford has just as much right to claim credit to this van's impressive mile total as does Nissan, since the Quest was a collaboration between Ford and Nissan that also produced the Mercury Villager; this van was built by Ford at the Ohio Assembly plant. The Quest/Villager platform was derived from the Maxima's, and the engine is pure Nissan: a 3.0-liter VG30 V6 rated at 151 horsepower. The only transmission available in the first-generation (1993-1999) Quest/Villager was a four-speed automatic. This one appears to have been sold new at Landrum Nissan in Pueblo. The rear glass has been painted flat black, possibly to keep prying eyes from seeing valuable cargo. The rear seats are long gone, so this van probably hauled cargo for much of its long life. The front interior seems to be in good shape. Why is this van here? There's body damage on the left rear and right front, suggesting a crash that may have bent the suspension past the worth-fixing threshold. Perhaps the crinkled metal just made this van too unsightly, or maybe some powertrain problem was the culprit. This content is hosted by a third party.
