1994 Nissan 300ZX convertible with 77k miles on it since new. Black on black leather with a 5 speed manual transmission. Naturally aspirated (not turbo) V6 engine. All OEM parts and never modified. The second owner of this car is selling it after nearly 20 years of ownership as the couple simplifies down to a single car. 

The convertible top is in perfect condition and all power seats, windows and all other electrics work properly.The engine and mechanicals are in good to excellent condition. The body shows the wear of the years with paint issues/chips in places, a few small dents and a driver side front fender that appears to have been repainted by the first owner. Interior is in good condition and leather is holding up well, but there are signs of wear and a discoloration on the passenger seat. The main belt may need to be replaced as there is a chirping sound on startup in colder weather, but it goes away as soon as the car has forward movement. Under heavy rain, a few drops of water will come in at the pivot joint where the roof gasket meets the window, but there are no holes or other leaks. The interior has squeaks and rattles as should be expected in a 20 year old convertible.

The car does have a manufacturer buyback on the car records, but the title itself is clean. The car was sold to the current owner by a Nissan dealership in California without either party, at the time, knowing that the car had a buyback on its records. Once the dealership found out they sold a car that should not have been sold, they contacted the owner to inform him of the situation. After reviewing the alternative car offered by the dealership and without knowing why the car was repurchased, he decided to keep the car. The dealership provided an extended warranty and covered any and all repairs for the first several years of ownership. The only issue that could be identified was the roof. The convertible top was replaced during this warranty period and we believe that the reason for the buyback was a perpetually leaky roof as described. The car has never had any further issues and, in nearly 20 years of ownership, has only ever needed normal maintenance and repairs. I'm happy to provide any interested buyers a full in-person inspection of the vehicle and accommodate for an inspection by a reputable mechanic of their choosing.

Car will not be shipped. Car must be picked up in/near San Diego, CA. Payment in cash, cashiers check preferred. Would prefer to finalize sale in-person to sign over title. All sales final and the car is offered as-is with no warranty.


I'm happy to answer any questions you may have as well as provide as much detail as possible about the vehicle condition.

According to a survey by Nissan, 93 percent use the EV as their main family vehicle. 89 percent report saving money driving, 64 percent prefer it to driving a conventionally powered car and 95 percent would recommend the car to a friend. Most said they wouldn't go back to a gas or diesel car. One owner even gave up his Aston Martin for a second Leaf so he and his wife wouldn't argue over who got to drive the EV to work each day. That's love. Read more at Next Green Car and at Hybrid Cars. Renault has outlined its future sustainable mobility plans, including two pieces of technology going into production cars soon.

Watch Nissan's autonomous Leaf in action

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

Getting its semi-autonomous Leaf legalized in Japan was just the first step. Now, Nissan is giving demonstrations of what its fully autonomous car is capable of at this year's Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies (CEATEC) show - Japan's equivalent to America's Consumer Electronics Show. To show off the possibilities of its technologies, Nissan had an oval track set up at the show giving rides in an autonomous Leaf to the media. Even Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn and Toyota CEO Akio Toyodo caught a ride.
Nissan has since released a couple videos of its CEATEC demos, with one designed to look like a news report. In this video, you can watch the car go around the track and navigate intersections and road hazards. The second video shows Ghosn riding in the car, and he hints that Nissan's goal of having an autonomous vehicle in production by 2020 might be more of a worst-case scenario. Watch both videos and read through Nissan's official press release below.
