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:"Failed Smog test. Probably because of one side of the engine having cylinders with low compression. Damaged front bumper, missing air intake cover. Dented front upper frame, and dented hood.Interior: Broken driver's side seat.Additional: Broken Antenna."

My Promise: When I originally got this car I got ripped off by a used car dealership. The engine had major oil leaks and broke down within a year. I won't lie or deceive anyone about the condition of the car. That being said, I wouldn't recommend this car to anyone that doesn't know about cars (i.e. this shouldn't be your first car). It's a beautiful car that must be worked on. You should be comfortable with more than just brake changes and tune ups. I can provide you via email a copy of the car manual if you don't have it yet.

Important information: The car did not pass smog test. A friend that studied mechanics performed a compression test on all six cylinders and determined that one of the the cylinders had low compression. Everything else works well. Good thread and quality tires. Good maintenance given to car. K&N Filters, new spark plugs,etc. Changed the front rotors and all brake pads 2 years ago.

Engine: The original engine was replaced at 189,000 miles for an imported engine. The timing belt, front and rear crankshaft seals were replaced. The old intake manifold was used (new gasket used of course) to comply with US smog specs. The clutch disk was also replaced.  The battery is also relatively new and the lower clutch cylinder was replaced because it was leaking.

Interior: Usual wear and tear but the driver's side seat tilts a little too much (the frame is broken. I took it to get it welded but they said they couldn't do it due to the location of the break). There is a tear on the driver's side door plastic. There is also significant wear on the shift stick cover and the steering wheel. The cloth seats have no tears.

About the exterior:The car has a damaged front bumper that will need replacement. The cover protecting the dual air intake is missing. The hood has some dents. The front part of the frame of the car some damage from when I hit a truck at 15 miles an hour. The truck had no scratches, but the Z needed the front sustained damage to front frame (showed in pictures). Besides that the rest of the car has scratches here and there but no major damage. The radio antenna is broken (dumb carwash!).

Reason for selling: My new job is 50+ miles away, I need an economy car or a Tesla.

The best thing about this car: I've never raced but I did once on my younger days take this car at 140+ without a problem. At 222 hp and 198 ft lb of torque it has the power to accelerate quickly and go through hills without a problem. The tires and hard suspension means you can go 80+ and have good solid control (unlike the tiny honda I drive now). It also features 4 wheel disc brakes and an advanced coil ignition for its time.

The worst about this car: The car has a lot of small tubes (vacuum) that will make it hard to put back together if you remove the intake manifold.

Pricing: Keep in mind that on KBB.com the "Fair" condition is $3620 and the "Good" condition is $4320. It would be fair to say that this car falls somewhere in between.

Nissan Leaf sells 3,186 in best month ever as Chevy moves 2,511 Volts

Wed, Sep 3 2014

The end of summer seems to inspire people to go out and buy a lot of plug-in vehicles. Last year, for example, the Chevy Volt had its best month ever in August, with 3,351 sales. This year, the Nissan Leaf is going up to the winner's podium, setting its own best-ever record with 3,186 units sold. This beats the Leaf's previous record by 69 vehicles. This beats the Leaf's previous record of 3,117 set in May 2014 by 69 vehicles and is up 31.7 percent from August 2013. Nissan is once again quick to remind us that the popular EV's record sales streak has now been extended to 18 months in a row. This record is simply noting that the current month, in this case August, had the highest sales that that month has ever seen in the US. Over all, US Leaf sales are up 34.1 percent so far this year. In a prepared statement, Nissan's director of Leaf sales and infrastructure, Brendan Jones, said that the Leaf is selling well on both coasts, including cities like Raleigh, Boston and Washington, DC. "It's what we call the 'cul-de-sac phenomenon,' where once someone in a community buys a Leaf, then friends, family, co-workers and neighbors see the benefits of this fun-to-drive electric vehicle firsthand and are sold on the idea of going electric," he said. The Volt also had a good month - its best of 2014 by almost 500 sales – but the 2,511 Volt sales still represent a drop of 25.1 percent from the excellent sales the Volt had this time last year. In fact, August 2014 represents the Volt's best sales month since, well, August 2013. Apparently, there's just something about the end of summer. As always, we are working on our in-depth round-up of green car sales across the country and will have that up soon.

2014 Nissan Leaf EVs recalled for missing welds

Mon, May 19 2014

The Nissan Leaf has been recalled before, for problems with the passenger-side airbags. Early models of the car has also had start-up issues, but those did not lead to a recall. Today, we're learning about another problem with the world's most popular electric vehicle. In April, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a recall of a small number of 2014 model year Leaf EVs - just 211 units that were made between February 28 and March 12 of this year – and reminded the world about it this morning with a Tweet. The problem, NHTSA says, is that, "the front structural member assembly may be missing welds," and that means that the car's structural integrity could be compromised in a crash. You don't say. Starting in the middle of June, Nissan will look at the vehicles that could be missing welds and offer replacements for free. If you have a potentially affected vehicle, Nissan should be contacting you soon, or you can call the automaker at the number listed below. Report Receipt Date: APR 16, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V192000 Component(s): Potential Number of Units Affected: 211 Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2014 LEAF vehicles manufactured February 28, 2014, through March 12, 2014. The front structural member assembly may be missing welds, which could reduce the structural integrity of the vehicle if the vehicle is involved in a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection," and 305, "Electric-Powered Vehicles: Electrolyte Spillage and Electrical Shock Protection." CONSEQUENCE: Missing welds may effect the vehicle's integrity in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the vehicle's occupants. REMEDY: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect to see if any of the welds are missing. Any vehicle missing welds will be replaced, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin by mid-June 2014. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Nissan reveals the face of the new Qashqai

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Last week Nissan revealed the first teaser image previewing its upcoming new Qashqai. That one was wearing a big sheet and showed us little other than its basic shape and a few highlighted details, but now the Japanese automaker has released the first undisguised-ish image of the new European-market crossover.
From the image above we can tell the new Qashqai will carry the familiar face of Nissan's latest crossovers well, with the U-shaped grille and angular LED accents in the headlamp clusters. The sharp creases in the hood also make it stand out as quintessentially Japanese, particularly in a crossover market where they can all start to look the same.
We'll have to wait just a few more days to see the full thing, with the reveal set for November 7, but Nissan also released a tidy infographic showing just how successful the outgoing Qashqai has been for it in the European market. Check it out below.
