2003 Nissan 350z Very Nice Car. Clean. on 2040-cars
Bakersfield, California, United States
I am listing this car for a close friend of mine. Life is about to change for him because he now has a child on the way. Gone will be the toys of his young adulthood. They will soon be replaced by the toys you step on in the middle of the night while making a bottle for baby. I have had the pleasure of performing almost all of of the needed items to maintain this lovely little car. Up until a year ago, I owned a successful automotive repair business. The car was under my care from about 2005 until I sold the business in 2012. It is currently being maintained by my former business partner (who now owns the business). The owner of this car has always insisted on using Mobile 1 synthetic oil. Oil changes were performed on time, every time. I can't recall any major repairs ever being needed. As a matter of fact, I am certain we ever only replaced a battery, brakes, hoses, bulbs and other wear items as needed. All of the major interval services have been performed including fuel induction services, etc. This car has had excellent care througout its life, and in return, it has given its owner a perfect service record. I have been assured that all systems are functioning perfectly, including the ice cold air conditioning. It has 2 brand new rear tires, and the fronts have plenty of tread life left for several thousand miles to come. The brakes are not even close to half of their service life. The only items worth mentioning are shocks for the rear hatch and the clutch pedal. The hatch shocks do not hold, and the clutch pedal creaks a bit while depressing the pedal. Aside from that, at 138k miles, this car looks and runs very sweetly. Shifting is smooth and deliberate. The ride is tight and crisp. We do encourage a test drive, or at least an inspection, as your expectations may differ from that of my description. This car is not perfect, but drives perfectly. No accident damage or poor workmanship. It is smogged and ready to go!! He has owned this car since nearly new, at 3,000 miles. Please email with any questions, or to set up an inspection. The car will be sold at a fair price. Make us a fair offer. We are happy to store the car for an agreed upon amount of time while transportation arrangements are made. The car must be paid for per the auction terms: Immediate deposit of $500 via PayPal due at the end of acuction. The remaining balance can be in cash, cashiers check or wire transfer witnin 5 days. Please allow 5-7 days for a cashiers check to clear my bank. The car will not leave until funds are verified. |

Strains between France and Italy risk Renault-FCA merger
Thu, May 30 2019PARIS/ROME — Fiat Chrysler's proposed $35 billion merger with Renault has cheered investors, won conditional support from Paris and Rome and even earned cautious backing from trade unions. Beneath this veneer, however, the bold attempt to create the world's third-largest carmaker risks becoming rapidly embroiled in the fraught relationship between France's europhile President Emmanuel Macron and Italy's euroskeptic leaders. For while Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini hailed the proposal as a "brilliant operation," Italy's creaking, state-subsidized Fiat factories are likely to bear the brunt of any production-related cost savings. FCA and Renault said this week that more than 5 billion euros ($5.6 billion) of annual savings would come mainly from combining platforms, consolidating powertrain and electrification investments and the benefits of increased scale. Salvini and France's Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, who called the deal a "good opportunity" to build a European industrial champion able to compete with China and the United States, have both said they want guarantees on local jobs. "It's not every day that I agree with Salvini," said Le Maire, whose government appears to hold the trump cards. When it comes to where any job cuts fall, France will be helped by its existing 15 percent holding in Renault, whose superior efficiency at its five French plants makes it better placed to handle a supply glut, the demise of the petrol engine and the investments needed for electric and autonomous vehicles. "It will take many, many years to find real savings, and ugly political and operational realities can often swamp the potential of such new entities," Bernstein analyst Max Warburton said of the FCA-Renault plan to rival Japan's Toyota and Germany's Volkswagen. Advantage France? As well as Italy's government having to cope with the aftermath of European elections, which coincided with news of the FCA-Renault plans, political leaders in Rome were only informed shortly before the deal was made public, an FCA source said. This contrasted with the way the French government was treated, with Fiat Chrysler Chairman John Elkann, a fluent French speaker, letting it know of his merger proposal to Renault weeks ago, a French government official said.
Tesla leads and Infiniti bleeds in Consumer Reports' satisfaction survey
Mon, Feb 8 2021According to Consumer Reports, Tesla owners are more likely to rave about their vehicles than any other brand. And we're not surprised — Tesla has performed very well in past customer satisfaction surveys, despite the fact that the electric cars themselves tend to have more problems than most other automobiles. Second place went to Lincoln, which interestingly had a higher cumulative score than Tesla in individual category measurements like comfort and storage space. Ram, a truck-only brand, rounded out the top three. The consumer-focused magazine bases its owner satisfaction score on responses to a very simple question: Would you buy this exact car again? The higher percentage of owners who answer "definitely yes" to that question, the higher the satisfaction score. Further breakdowns are scored for other parts of the ownership experience, which is why brands that rank poorly in Consumer Reports' own reliability charts — like Tesla and Lincoln, for example — can still earn top marks for satisfaction. The lowest-ranked brands for satisfaction are Cadillac, Nissan and Infiniti. Interestingly, Cadillac performed better than average in Driving and Comfort and middle-of-the-road in the In-Car Electronics and Cabin Storage, but like most other brands, scored poorly in Value. In fact, only Subaru, Mazda and Volkswagen scored better than average in Value. Nissan and especially Infiniti earned comparatively low marks across the board to go along with the bottom-of-the-barrel satisfaction score. Here's the full list of automakers from Consumer Reports' satisfaction survey, ranked in order from best to worst: Tesla Lincoln Ram Chrysler Subaru Hyundai Porsche Dodge Mazda Toyota Kia Mini BMW Ford Audi Honda Volvo Volkswagen Lexus Jeep GMC Chevrolet Mercedes-Benz Buick Cadillac Nissan Infiniti It's worth diving into the individual category scores in addition to the official finishing order for a full look at the results. For instance, despite the fact that automakers like Lincoln and Ford use similar infotainment systems, their In-Car Electronics scores don't quite match up. Also, some automakers have full lineups with multiple cars, trucks and SUVs while others offer just a couple of nameplates. Head on over to Consumer Reports for all the details.

Nissan giving away Leaf-shaped air fresheners that smell like the future
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We had to check our calendar to make sure it didn't read April 1, but since it's not April Fool's Day, we have to assume that Nissan of Europe really has created a special air freshener scent to give away this Christmas. To create this original fragrance, Nissan looked to Dr. George Dodd, a master perfumer and aroma academy scientist who looks a tiny bit like Santa Claus (we seriously aren't making this stuff up).
Like a mad scientist, Dr. Dodd went to work blending chemicals and fragrances to design a smell that matches the Leaf's Earth-friendly, zero-emission attitude. Once the "scent of the future" is transformed into the lovely Santa-driving, Leaf-shaped air freshener you see above, Nissan of Europe will be giving one to its employees, Leaf customers and "select electric car fans." Sadly, EV - and scent - enthusiasts here in the US will be stuck with the tried-and-true pine tree air freshener.
We don't want to ruin exactly what Dodd finally came up with for the "scent of the future," but you can find out for yourselves in the video and press release posted below.
