Ok this is the story........

This was my sister's truck.

My sister leased this truck in December of 2005 out of Los Angeles, California.....title actually says Hollywood California.....

When her lease was up, she bought the truck.....she loves this truck....she actually is sick about selling it and doesn't even want me to talk about it...

I had the same truck except it was a 2001.....she loved that truck so much that she went and got the same truck except is was a 2005.

She and her friends would go snowboarding in the mountains...Bear Mountain I believe it is called. It is for that reason she added the hard cover, lockabletonneau cover....they could lock their snowboards in there....

My sister is 100 lbs.....the front seat is like it has never been sat in.....

The reason the truck has 150,000 miles on it is because she lived in California. To drive a hundred miles a day in that city is nothing.....anyone who has experience in California knows that everything is 40 miles away...

She also worked for Universal Studios and in the movie business they take off the last two weeks of the year....

She and her boyfriend.....now husband would get in the car every Christmas break and drive cross country to Columbus, Ohio for the holidays and then drive back to LA to go back to work.

In 2011 she was accepted to Ohio State for graduate school so she moved back to Columbus to live with my parents while she finished school. I drove the truck from LA to Columbus while her and her husband drove the moving truck......it drove 80 miles an hour across the country driving with my pinky finger......it is as smooth as they get....

While the car was in Columbus it was parked in my parents garage when it was not in use.....

My point here is that this truck lived in California all of its life until 2011 when it went to Ohio and was garaged.....when you look at the pictures you will see.....it is MINT......no salt....no damages from the harsh Ohio weather.....no rust whatsoever.......it is a California car...

You will not find a car in this shape in Ohio unless you are buying it Brand New......

The truck is immaculate and in Perfect Running Condition....

Ok....so that is the back story......here is the story of the service that has been done...

It has been kept in perfect running condition its whole life....here is the service that has been done...

The 2003,2004,2005 Nissan Fronteirs, Xterras, and Pathfinders all had the same automatic transmissions and that being said.....all the same transmission problem...

The automatic transmission in this truck is cooled by the radiator.....there was a flaw in the system where basically a seal would give way and the transmission fluid and the anti-freeze would mix and slowly kill the transmission....

My understanding was that Nissan tried to sweep this under the rug as much as possible because it was usually only happening well after 100,000 miles......they fixed the design flaw in the 2006 and newer models.....

Well at 140,000 my sister's transmission went and that is how we found out about this situation.....

My sister being a student right now didn't have the money to fix it and decided to lease a cheap car..

I knew what kind of shape this truck was in and that it was worth fixing.....so I bought it from her....I decided to put the money into to make it perfect again simply because it was in such pristine condition.

This is what I did.....

I had the truck towed by flatbed to Ben at Enhanced Transmissions in Cleveland.....Ben is the best in the city.....he is a race car mechanic that specializes in transmissions.....he was well aware of the problem Nissan had with these model years and had rebuilt many of these transmissions....

He completely rebuilt the transmission and installed the updates that Nissan made to correct the problem....so the transmission is completely rebuilt and works flawlessly......he also said he would transfer the warranty as long as he is the only one who works on the truck if there are ever any problems for 25,000 miles or two years...

So, it has a brand new transmission.....

Then, the gas gauge was not working.....the sensor was on the fuel pump....I could have just fixed that and called it a day, but while we were in there I figured the fuel pump is original...we might as well replace it...so we did

So...it has a brand new fuel pump....

Next, the engine light was on......can't pass the AIM test in Cleveland with that right?......So, the diagnostic tests showed it had bad catalytic converters.....so I replaced them....they are brand new....no engine light now....

So, it has brand new catalytic converters.....

Next, the CD player was broken......so I pulled the whole stereo......replaced it with a brand new Pioneer from Best Buy.....Geek Squad installed........it has blue-tooth so that you can answer your phone through the stereo and play songs from your phone......it also has a remote control for tailgating...and a 3.5 mm jack so that you can plug it directly into your phone....it is brand new.....about a week old....

So, it has a brand new stereo, with blue-tooth....it is mint...

Tires? They are brand new as you will see in the pictures.....my sister bought them less than 6 months ago...

Ok....what about the timing chain? It was replaced at 95,000 miles......she was paranoid and decided to have it done even though she was having no problems.......her mechanic replaced it, but said that once he got in there, there was nothing wrong with it....but it has been done so you can cross that one off your list...

So, timing chain was done recently.....

How is the interior? Like no one has really ever sat in it.....look at the pictures....it is beautiful....

Ok so how is the motor? Well it is the 270 horse power V-6, has had regular oil changes and quite frankly runs like a bat out of hell......

I drove it home the other day from the car wash and I looked down and had no idea that I was going 90 miles an hour....it is as smooth as my Cadillac.....

It is also tough not to peel out from stop lights because it simply has so much power......270 horses is a lot of motor for that truck.....it is FAST...

Brakes? Work perfectly.....

4 wheel drive? Works perfectly.....

Tow hitch......Has it....you will see it in the pictures.....

Ok, so I did all the updates and work on this very, very clean truck.....and I am thinking about keeping it to be honest.....but if I am going to part with it....

I want $14,500....I am pretty firm on this price with all I have listed above.....low ballers, don't waste your time....I will keep it...

You simply will not find this truck in Cleveland unless you buy it brand new.....and that will cost you around $35,000 out the door....

It has never towed anything......never hauled a load of dirt or rocks......never plowed snow......it has had a pretty easy life...

Whoever gets this truck is going to be very happy and need to do absolutely nothing to this truck.....it is in Perfect Running Condition....leaks Nothing......No Dash Lights Are On....ITS IS MINT! 

You can look at a video on you tube at ......................https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEJEVYbvnLY

Also e-mail me with any questions and I will get back to you promptly......

Thank you for your time.

Nissan commits to adding 'iconic' design after Cube killed off

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

The Nissan Cube is on its way out here in the US and Canada. In a way, that's too bad, simply because the Cube's styling was nothing if not distinctive - much like the company's own Juke. However, the flame for uniquely styled models is indeed still burning over at Nissan.
We might never see an exact replacement for the Cube in the brand's lineup, but product planning boss Andy Palmer says that its retirement leaves a spot open in the Nissan lineup for something else. "To be clear, we will morph this space in our portfolio into something iconic," said Palmer to Automotive News. Unfortunately, he wouldn't hint at what that could mean.
However, his lack of suggestions makes it fun to speculate about what oddity could replace the Cube, especially since two of Nissan's more recent quirky concepts might have problems hitting the road. The Bladeglider is mired in Nissan and Deltawing Technologies' ongoing patent lawsuit. Alternatively, the retro-inspired IDx might be too expensive to build profitably. Still, this is the company that created both the (nearly dead) Murano CrossCabriolet and the very successful Juke; it can probably come up with something else delightfully weird.

Recharge Wrap-up: first Chevy Volt hits 200K miles, DriveNow launches in London with BMW i3 on deck

Mon, Dec 8 2014

The first Chevrolet Volt has driven over 200,000 miles. According to the owner, Erick Belmer, the car, which he purchased on March 28, 2012, is "holding up flawlessly" with "no noticeable battery capacity loss." Belmer has a commute of about 220 miles per day, rotates his tires every 10,000 miles, and gets an oil change every 38,000 miles. Belmer still loves driving his "dream car" every day, and says it is "wonderfully engineered." Read more at Inside EVs. DriveNow has launched in London, and will include the BMW i3 as part of its carsharing fleet. Daimler shut down its Car2go operations there just six months ago. Currently, DriveNow members have access to the BMW 1 Series and Mini Countryman, but come spring of 2015, DriveNow, which is a joint venture between BMW and Sixt SE, will add 30 all-electric i3 EVs to its London service. DriveNow's rates for London are set at 39 pence per minute, with an hourly maximum cost of GBP20 (about 61 US cents and $31, respectively). The service currently operates in the boroughs of Islington, Haringey and Hackney, with hopes of expanded service in the near future. Read more at Hybrid Cars or at Reuters. FIA's Formula E electric racing championship series received the Autosport award for Pioneering and Innovation. The award ceremony was a black-tie event at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London. Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag accepted the award. "Many people in motorsport, when we started Formula E, didn't think we would make the first race," says Agag. "To announce we were doing a championship with cars that didn't then exist was a real challenge. But after that first race in Beijing, everything worked." Read more at Formula E's website. The Nissan Leaf has driven over a billion collective kilometers. That's more than 621.3 million miles. Nissan said in August that it expected to reach that mark by January, and it has done just that. To celebrate, Nissan Europe has created a video to thank its 147,000 Leaf drivers to bring the car to that substantial milestone in less than four years. Check out the video below.

Nissan GT-R drag races Swiss fighter jet

Thu, 09 May 2013

Proving that speed is fun in any language, Nissan's German arm recently pitted a GT-R up against an ex-Swiss Air Force fighter jet, called the Hawker Hunter. Now the idea of a car-versus-plane drag race is nothing new, but this is the first time we can recall a GT-R being involved.
While this Nissan video is almost a month old, we're pretty sure you won't be disappointed by the action, which shows the two high-speed machines racing along the two-kilometer runway. We don't want to ruin the suspense, so scroll down for the latest matchup of sports car versus fighter jet.
